eight good hit innings joe nine normally starter threw whacked works zone
They kind of whacked us around. Joe was up in the zone and they pretty much hit everything he threw up there. And that's a pretty good formula. You get your starter to go eight or nine innings and you hit three-run homers. Normally it works out pretty good.
ball catching good middle playing
They have good pitching. They can throw. They got a good middle of the lineup. They're catching the ball in the middle of the infield. They're playing very aggressive. They're doing the things that we have to do to get back in it.
bases loaded side strike top watching
You don't think too many performances could top what Santana was throwing, but watching Nathan go out there and strike out the side with the bases loaded was pretty good, too.
ball run
You don't run that ball out, you have to come out of the ballgame.
continue good talk
It's a good start. I don't know about clicking. If we can continue that, I'll talk to you in about a week.
football hard
It's a football Sunday, so we got down by a football score. It's hard to come back from that.
bottom game knows line
I told him, 'Don't kill yourself,' but the bottom line is he's an athlete, and he's going to play the game the way he knows how to play the game.
break expected pattern
It's a pattern you get used to and get into and you just do it. He was expected to play every day before, but we can give him a little break over here and let him get through some of this soreness.
atmosphere playoff
It really was a playoff atmosphere out there. I'm sweating, and it wasn't really that hot.
playoff
It really was a playoff atmosphere. I'm sweating, and it wasn't even that hot.
pride serious
It's not just about going out and bunting. It's about implanting things in their minds. This is what we have to do to win. You have to bunt. You have take pride in it. We want them to know we're very serious about this.
center middle puck stir
It's one of those. Puck was in the center of the room. He wanted to be in the middle of things so he could stir it up.
knows normal
It's not the normal progression for a pitcher. Who knows what it's going to do to him in the long run.
help nice people support talk year
It's always nice to get out and talk to the people who help support us all year long.
