Not as winning as we wanted it to be, but it's a winning season. That's important.

It was a nice win on a very ugly night and tough conditions.
came chance early four held innings played runs sweep time win
Any time you get a chance to win a series, that's what it's all about. We had a chance to sweep them here but they played well, they came back and jumped on us early and got some runs off Lohse in the first four innings and then held a lead.
against good hit hotter huge series three win winning
It was good to win the series and take two of three against one of the hotter teams. We had some big hits. Redmond was huge and Shannon had a big hit for us. We need to keep winning series.
against ball baseball catch fun good money opening series swing winter
They can pitch, catch the ball and swing the bat. It's a very good baseball team. They put a lot of money into it this winter and it will be a fun opening series for us against a good baseball team.
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.
bad early everybody head hit improve keeps rough saying spring terrible winter
Everybody keeps saying it was a terrible year, but those weren't too bad of numbers. But he did struggle. He got hit in the head early and had a rough spring because of his winter with so many illnesses. Overall, if you look at it, he's got a lot of things that he can improve upon offensively.
awards bit good happy last matter tells winning
No matter how good he did, he wasn't very happy at the end of last year. It wasn't about the awards or anything else. It was about us not winning - and not getting back to the playoffs. That tells you a little bit about his makeup.

Most of the time you send Brad back out there, but this isn't most of the time. We're going to try to do whatever we have to do to win games.
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.
bottom line matter start winning
It wasn't pretty, but the bottom line is you've got to start winning games. It doesn't matter how you do it.
pride whatever win
We're going to do whatever we can to try to win games. So pride can go out the window.

He's pretty intense right now. No one wants to win any more than Johan. He's all about winning. That's why it's fun to have him on your baseball team. When he goes out there, you can see it in his heart that he wants to win for this baseball team.
