baseball facing game great guys lay team won
We won one game here. We didn't quit, we didn't lay down. We just didn't play great baseball here. The guys are trying. You're facing a team that's hungry.
game good great loss pitching
Another great pitched game by Johan. Another loss for a good pitching performance.
chance great guess sweep team three
We thought we had a chance to sweep them, but that's a great team over there. Two out of three I guess we'll have to take.
adding bad bats behind early game great kept lousy missed night swing
We had a really bad night tonight, all the way around. That was just a lousy game by us. We got behind early and just kept adding on. We missed plays, didn't swing the bats great and just had a lousy game.
good great people played send work
It's not going to be a very good day. We've had people who have played very well who we're going to have to send down. Sometimes, you can have a great spring, and it's just not going to work out roster-wise.
effort forth great hopefully ups
It's been a long year. We've been through a lot of ups and downs, so hopefully we'll come out and put forth a great effort this weekend.
clubhouse greatest leader trying
We were trying to get him to come back into the clubhouse where he was the greatest leader I've ever seen. He wanted to do it.
baseball game great playing
They're playing the game over there. That's a great baseball team.
baker base breaking came chance fastball finally gave good great high innings runs score
Baker was fantastic. He used his breaking ball, his changeup and had the high fastball working. He located pretty good. He gave us a great chance to win. It's unfortunate we couldn't score enough runs for him. Rincon came in and had two good innings for us, got out of the one, which was huge. Then we finally come up with the big base hit.
great moment
Defining? Sure, it was a great moment for two young hitters. But let's not try to get there too often.
arm chance control dictate great injury last learn pitcher whether
He's just got to learn to control everything a little better. He did a lot better last year, they told me, but he had the arm injury and it's just got to keep improving. He has a chance to be a great pitcher in this organization, whether it is as a starter or a 'pen guy. We haven't really decided. He will dictate that.
ball classy great hit respect
He didn't play well here. He didn't hit the ball great, he didn't play great defense, but that's not the Bret Boone that we all know. He's a very classy young man. I have a lot of respect for him.
good great hands hurt quick seemed
Before he got hurt, he was a pretty good hitter. He had great hands and a very quick bat. He seemed to know what he was doing.
arguing ball catch great job looked pitcher pitchers start turned wood
Their pitcher was aware. Wood did a great job there. Most pitchers would catch the ball and start arguing with the umpire. He was very aware. He turned around looked home. He did a great job on that play.
