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.
ball bats breaking early good jumping stuff
He was breaking a lot of bats early in the game. His cutter was getting in there. He had good stuff tonight. The ball was jumping out of his hand.
coming people sitting start stuff thinking trap worrying
I'm not sitting around thinking about it as much as I used to. I used to booby trap everything. You start worrying about that stuff coming back at you. I'm a little calmer because there are different people here.
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.
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.
handling job
We could all do a better job of handling composure.
baseball fun past puck punching situation starts
We're going through enough in our situation here with Puck and the whole package, and then this comes back out and starts punching baseball in the head. It's not much fun to see again. I thought we were past that era.
