bank next runs wish
I wish we could bank some of these runs for the next day.
league team
Well, that 1985 team was pretty good. Are we better (this year)? I don't know. But I know the league is better now.
matter runs score together trying
It's just a matter of trying to put the lineup together and score some runs like we did (in a 17-run outburst Saturday).
baseball people pick poll
It's early. But if I had to pick one poll for us to be No. 1 in, I'd pick Baseball America. Those people really know what they're doing.
great happy rather streak trade
It's a great streak, it's legitimate, and I'm happy for Thomas. But I know he'd rather trade the streak for a win.
good hit hunter joseph win
They're a good team. They wanted to win as much as we wanted to win. Joseph Hunter got the big hit for us.
concerned everybody mention nice team wants
It's nice to be 15-0, but that 1985 team was pretty good. Everybody wants to mention our start, but we're just concerned with winning.
arguing arrested
They told me I was going to be arrested if I didn't get off the field. For what? Arguing a call?

A lot of things need to go right to win 14 straight times. But I think a lot of it isn't because we've been lucky. A lot of it has been because we've been pretty good.
fine practice ready team tennessee
Tomorrow, we'll practice, but it won't be a long practice. Then, we'll get ready for a fine Tennessee team this weekend.
athletic ballpark directors game gonna good great handle people
We're going to play the game somewhere. I'll let the athletic directors handle that. I ain't gonna tell you Smith-Wills is a better ballpark than the new one, but it's been good to us over the years. They've done everything we've asked. They put in a new (playing surface), they put in new lights. I think it's been great for the people down there.
best counting invincible
When we had the 6-3 lead, they were counting the 19th victory. They thought they were the best, and they're still the best in my mind. But they thought they were invincible, maybe. But no one is invincible in sports.
accept again happen maybe punishment somebody
I'll take the punishment, I accept it. But it better happen again to somebody else. Maybe I need a better term.
arms bullpen deal depth innings
Innings are getting up there, arms are tired. (Pitching woes) can get contagious. Thankfully, we have bullpen depth to deal with it.
