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?
bit step
Sometimes you take a little bit of a step back to get where you need to be.
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.
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.
beaten guy needs step
Our outfield's been beaten up pretty bad, and Jacque's the one guy that needs to step up. And he's been doing that.

He was ready. He stepped into a good situation. It was fun to see.
guys step
They've had some guys step up and play very, very well for them,
beaten guy leaders-and-leadership lost needs outfield people step
He's one of our leaders. We lost a lot of people this year. Our outfield has been beaten up pretty bad. And Jacque is the one guy who needs to step up, and he's been doing that.
division gotten people tried
We tried to tell people in the off-season that this division had gotten better and would be very tough.
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.
