absolutely change effect good happened plan positive supposed
I see no positive effect that can come out of this. I can see the good intentions, maybe, of what they think they're doing, but what are you going to change that's happened in the past? Absolutely nothing. The (steroid testing) plan we have in effect now is supposed to change the future, which is the only thing you can really control.
hits runners scoring walks
We got some walks and some hits with runners in scoring position, ... Those are the little things you have to do. You're not always going to get the three-run homer.
base couple guys hits homer nice run runners scoring small
We scored one run on a homer, but it was nice to see some other things go well. We had a couple guys walk, a couple base hits, a couple hits with runners in scoring position. Those are the little things you have to do to win. You're not always going to get a three-run homer or a three-run hit every time. You have to do the small things, and that's what we did today.
ego good played pride
I've played too long to let my ego get in the way, or my pride -- to say, 'I have to play shortstop' or something like that. You know what? I played 10 years at shortstop. Can I still play there? Yeah. But we have a good shortstop here.
capitalize couple guys hook left
At that point, we had left 10 guys on base. We had had a couple opportunities, but we didn't capitalize on them. Getting off the hook like that was good.
anywhere behind care throw
When it really comes down to it, I really don't care where I play as long as I play. You could throw me in the outfield, I don't care; anywhere but behind the plate, for now.
We have to try some different things out there on the mound.
anyone arizona four injury maybe ncaa picked pool problems
I don't think anyone would have picked these four teams. Maybe St. Louis, because Arizona had some injury problems. But it's like an NCAA pool out there. You never know what's going to happen.
pitchers
I don't know. That's for the pitchers to decide, not me.
die given lay nobody shows
To not lay down and die after the inning they had was big for us and shows that nobody in here has given up.
game good great mentality rest solid starters tonight
Even when they don't have all their starters in there, they're not on all cylinders, they're still a great ballclub and they know how to win. To come out and play a pretty solid game like we did tonight is good for our mentality the rest of the way.
game giving hard hits team win
It's hard to win a game when you're giving up 16, 17 hits a game, ... and your team doesn't get the 17 hits a game.
couple guys homer hope walks
A couple of guys got walks and a couple of guys got hits. You can't hope for a three-run homer ever time.
depressing games lose seems teams win
It's kind of depressing when you lose like that. Teams like that, they win games like that. Seems like they always come out on top.
