gets moved taylor until
Until Taylor gets his stripes, he'll have to be moved around.
die game might until wait
I thought he might collapse, he's probably in the back right now sick. I told him he couldn't die on the field, he'd have to wait until after the game to die.
certainly favor fresh game good lead matter mound roy score third until
I never feel comfortable until the game is over no matter what the score is, but you certainly feel good with Roy on the mound when you have a good lead and you have a fresh bullpen. You feel a lot of things are in your favor but we couldn't get that third strike.
everybody good playing plays respect somebody spring stays training until wait
Obviously, when you have depth, it's good in one respect for the team, but it's difficult, because if everybody stays healthy, somebody doesn't get much playing time. We'll have to wait until we get to spring training to see how that plays out.
among fifth looking pitchers saying seven six starters three until
We have three young starters that we're looking at. That's why I'm saying I feel like we need 12 pitchers. You should not need 12 pitchers in the first six or seven days. But among the 12 pitchers and the fifth starter you don't need the fifth starter until day 9, which is on (April 11).
baseman expected happen hard throw throwing until ways
He's not really had to make a throw, we've only had one throw from a first baseman all spring. While he's probably throwing about what I expected right now, he's still got a ways to go. He hasn't had to make a throw to second, hasn't had to make a quick, hard throw and we don't know what's going to happen until that happens.
break came felt fought good hard hit lights orlando point seemed until
Gallo's been lights out, he's been good. We fought hard in the game. We seemed to have some other opportunities. ... We just couldn't break through until Orlando came up with the big hit for us. Normally, when we got to that point of the game, it's pretty solid. I felt pretty good at that point.
ball base good job less putting runner third
When we got a runner at third base and less than two outs, we didn't do a very good job of putting the ball in play.
ball five guy hurt last six struck third
What hurt was, we struck out for five of the last six outs, ... We didn't put the ball in play, and we had a guy on third base. And that's what hurt us.
ball singles win
We got two two-out singles from Berkman to win the ball game.
general leave
We're going to leave that to our general manager. Sure, I'd like to have Clemens back.
couple days fool fortunate ground inventory last lose nice personal pick streak time
We're going to have to take a personal inventory as a team. This is September, and this is no time to fool around. We need to pick it up a little bit. It is fortunate to lose two ballgames the last couple of days after having a nice streak and not lose any ground to the leaders.

bats certainly driving gone good guys offensive problem weeks zone
We're just not getting guys on base, and we're certainly not driving them in when we do. Everybody's frustrated. We've gone two weeks now without really much of an offensive threat. The real problem is that we're not getting the bats in the zone very good right now.
