business care figure guys hard holes joke
We joke around here a lot, but we have a lot of holes to fill. We have a lot of business to take care of, ... It's hard to get them in order. We need someone to end the ballgame. And then we need someone to set him up. But we have to figure out a way to get to those guys. We don't need those guys if we can't get there.
care close easy sit state
Torii's been very close to Puck. He was in no state to go out for a ballgame. I told him to sit back, take it easy and we'll take care of that game.
cares intense needed wants win
We needed a win ? desperately. He's pretty intense right now. No one wants to win more than Johan. That's what he cares most about ? winning.
apologetic cared kyle
Kyle was apologetic and that's all I cared about,
apologetic cared growing handle happy process situations understood
He was apologetic and that's all that I cared about. He understood that you have to handle situations a little better, and that's part of the growing up process too. I'm happy with it. I feel better about the whole situation. That's really all that matters.
answer ask care
I can't answer that question. You'll have to ask them. ... I know the ones who care and I think I know the ones who don't.
division gotten people tried
We tried to tell people in the off-season that this division had gotten better and would be very tough.
ball based couple goes hole last moved night steps stop talked
We talked about it and moved them over a couple steps last night, but we're going to have to do better than that. You have to make adjustments based on who's pitching. If the ball goes through that hole a couple of times, then why don't we just move over so we can stop it?
good handled talked
We talked about a lot of things, things that weren't handled very good and we got it straightened out. It was a good conversation. We'll go about our work.
feels games schedule three throwing wait worried
We just really have to wait and see. On that schedule right there, getting in three games and if he feels comfortable throwing all three of his pitches, then he's probably going to be ready. But we're a little worried about this.
ball catching chance clubs hardest might pitching talked winning work
We just talked about being a winning team, and what we're all about here. Pitching and catching the ball is what we do best. It's what we work hardest at. We have a chance to win. We can say that where a lot of other clubs can't. Well, they might say it. But they can't say it like we can.
We just got here, give it a day.
changed close good pitching playing team
We were playing a very good team here with a changed lineup and I think we battled pretty good in the series. Our pitching is pretty close to where we need it to be. I think we're going to be fine.
maybe missed opportunity runs score
We missed an opportunity to score runs for Santana and maybe get him a win. Which is probably the most disappointing thing for the night.
