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.
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.
against anybody effort field fighting goal hard playing playoffs teams
We're playing against teams that are fighting for the playoffs and we're going to make every effort to get after it as hard as we can, ... My goal is not to let anybody clinch while we're on the field with them.
ball exactly finally hard himself last pitches points time trying zone
Well, he got himself into it, so I can't exactly give him points for getting out. I think the last inning, he finally got some pitches down, but a lot were up. That's something we've been working on and really trying to get him to keep the ball down better in the zone and keep his angle. He had a hard time today. But he got through it and didn't implode.
hard hit joe tough
We really didn't have much of a chance. Carlos (Silva) got hit pretty hard and Joe (Mays) couldn't get anything down and they killed him. When you are down that much offensively, it's tough to get back in it.
bore expect full guys hard loss stop team trying win
It's another disappointing loss for us. The guys are battling. We've got to win games, and we're going to try as hard as we can. I expect this team to go out full bore and win. We'll never stop trying to do that.
football hard
It's a football Sunday, so we got down by a football score. It's hard to come back from that.
accused anybody compete hard laying means race sure white
We know how much this means to the White Sox and what kind of race they're in. So we just want to compete as hard as we can and make sure we don't get accused by anybody of laying down.
ball barely bothered hardly knew walk wear
It didn't look good. He could barely walk and he told me the brace really bothered him. You never knew if he was going to wear that brace all the time or if he was going to get out of it. He was killing the ball at the plate, but he could hardly get to first base.
free hard lucky market money sign thrown
There's a lot of money being thrown around out there and it's hard to get in the market and sign free agents. We're lucky on this one.
ball chance double hard hits playing turn
You're playing in between so if he hits the ball hard you have a chance to turn a double play. But he hit a little topper that you're not going to be able to do much with.
chance hard issues monitor pumped scary throwing
He's going to be pumped up and throwing as hard as he can, and those are the scary issues you have. We don't get a chance to monitor him.
ball balls beat deception falling good hard hit missed mixed
He had good deception tonight. The ball was going in there pretty good, he made some pitches. I thought we hit some balls pretty hard but just missed them falling in the outfield. But he pitched good enough and mixed it up good enough to beat us.
classy exactly falling hard hits needs roots
That's exactly what's going on. He's such a classy guy, and he roots so hard for everyone else. He needs to get some hits falling in for his own confidence. Not for us. I have confidence.
