baseball everybody exciting huge saw team
I think you saw a pretty exciting baseball team out there. We got some huge hits, big hits, and a huge inning that everybody was a part of.
guy road runs struggled thirteen
I think the correlation that, 'Well, we really struggled on the road without this guy and that guy' ? that's so sad. We scored how many runs in Toronto? Thirteen runs? What, was (Oliva) on the phone?
I thought we pitched well enough to win, but we didn't get it done offensively. We've got hitters. We're just not clicking.
baker tough
I thought we pitched well enough to win. Baker battled through some tough jams and made some big pitches, but we didn't get it done offensively.
anywhere flip four games guys health played top worth
I think we're fine. Health-wise we're not where we need to be. We're 7-11 and played without our top two guys (Shannon Stewart and Luis Castillo) for four games now. ... Of course, we haven't played worth a flip on the road, and that's what's disturbing. You're not going to get anywhere doing that.
came hit lefty
I think we only hit one or two hard, and then the big lefty Sisco came in and that was that.
books-and-reading
Just another one for the books. Ohhhh God.
bench brought everyday happy instead jason needs sitting spring training
Jason needs to get consistent, everyday at-bats instead of sitting on the bench here with us. We brought him up here from spring training to see where he's at, and we're happy with his progress.
chance chip consistency good guys looking passed people pitcher talk wait
J.D., we're looking for a little more consistency from him. People talk about him being passed by, but he has the chance to be a good pitcher in this organization. He can't wait to get the ball. We like guys like that. He doesn't come in with a chip on his shoulder.
apologetic cared kyle
Kyle was apologetic and that's all I cared about,
balls home hurt last needed ourselves pitching runs strong throwing type
Last season, we hurt ourselves on the relays throwing home and balls getting through the infield. We just can't give away runs with this pitching staff. It's too good. So we needed that type of strong defense.
guys
Our guys battled. Their guy was just a little better.
hearts prayers situation tough
Our hearts and our prayers are all with Puck. We know its a tough situation out there.
face good guy hopefully kenny likes lost needs ready rogers sat start step
Kenny Rogers is not the guy he likes to face very often, so we sat him out. But he was ready to play. We've lost a lot of people, and Jacque is one guy who needs to step up.... Hopefully that's a good start for him to get on a roll.
