baseball bottom good line playing starting timely win
We're playing real good baseball right now, ... The bottom line is we are getting real good starting pitching. If you get that and some timely hitting, you win ballgames.
dominated good played
We have played well here. It's good for us. We've had a lot of years where they've dominated us here.
commitment good happening signing
When you see the organization signing those guys, you can see there's a commitment. There are a lot of good things happening here.
deal good guys half job pinch playing size tried
Size was a big deal for them, especially with their big guys playing like they did. We tried to pinch them in on the ends, but that didn't work. We didn't do a good job of that in the first half and that was the game.
developed emotions good guys human mixed relationships
There are still mixed emotions. Everything I've done as a big leaguer has been with the Reds. I see those guys over there. I'm a human being. I like the guys in the Pirates' clubhouse. They've been good to me. But I developed a lot of relationships over there, too.
ball catcher good leaning memory reaching seeing waking
I have no memory of it, nothing between reaching for the ball ... and then waking up and seeing (Reds catcher Jason) LaRue leaning over me, which wasn't a good sight.
drive fair guys hits share start timing
We're getting our fair share of hits, that's not the problem. It's just the timing of our hits that's bad. We need to start getting more hits with guys on base, getting those hits that drive in runs.
behind brad jim sees special
I think, if you're the Pirates, you've got to take a look at Brad Eldred, too. He's a special player. He's right there, and I think everyone sees that. And you know what? I've been in his shoes, too, when I was behind Jim Thome in Cleveland.
acting reaching start watching
I think everybody's watching what's going on, and we need to start acting and reaching out,
drive fastball looking sit threw trying
I was just trying to sit on the fastball, looking for something hard, and he threw me a fastball middle-away and I was able to drive it.
jack thinking throw
I thought Jack would just throw to me. They were thinking two all the way.
knows
I think everyone here knows Jerry's the guy. So let him know.
almost somebody starter wish
I think we're close. You almost wish we could get that front-line starter, somebody that's always on everybody's No. 1 wish list. Getting that one more starter is a big deal.
ball baseball risk time
Yeah, I thought I had some friends over here. But, hey, that's baseball. It happens. The ball got away from him. That's the way it goes. You take that risk every time you get in the batter's box.
