open seen
I've never seen that open of a stance.
decide seen somebody stepping waiting
No one is stepping up. I haven't seen enough to decide that I want somebody out there. I'm just waiting for somebody to step up.
behind bit exactly good guy location normally perfect seen stuff
We know he's the one guy who's a little bit behind where he would normally be. No excuses. He had good stuff tonight, but he's not exactly perfect right now with his location and as good as we've seen him.
along bring bullpen dominating pitcher pressure seen situations spring throw
We want to bring him along slowly. He can be a pretty dominating pitcher out of the bullpen the way we've seen him throw in spring training. And we could put him in situations where he can go out and not have too much pressure on him.
hold obviously seen together
You never really know how it's going to work. You think you can hold it together for a while, but obviously we've seen a lot of things change. There's really not a lot you can do about it.
fun seen watch work works
You want to work with that swing? I don't know what to tell him. I've never seen it before. So we say just go ahead, because I don't even know what he works on. I just watch him take B.P. and let him have fun and do it.
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.
