couple days explore extra giving hurts next nobody opportunity several willing window
We feel like there's a window of opportunity to get something done in the next several days and we're willing to explore that, ... It hurts nobody by giving it a couple of extra days.
You go as long as you can or as long as you have to.
becomes catching expecting gives hitting icing looking maybe settled
Is he going to be a .300 hitter? I don't know. Maybe sometime. But I don't think any of us are expecting that or really looking for that out of him this year. I think right now it's more about catching the ball. I think the more comfortable he becomes with that and the more settled he gets, the better his hitting is going to get. Anything he gives us offensively right now is icing on the cake.
games tough
This is one of those games that's tough to lose.
behind carry cause name people
As an athlete, name recognition can carry a lot of weight. To me, it's kind of a no-brainer, if you're able to get behind a cause and people will get involved.
game ourselves playoff separates teams tonight win
That's what separates playoff teams from non-playoff teams. Too often we find ourselves in a game like we did tonight and we're not able to make the play. We play well enough to keep ourselves in the game but not well enough to win those games.
energy enthusiasm fun guy stuck
The thing that stuck out about him was his energy and enthusiasm when he played. He was a fun guy to watch.
denied leave needs player says talked tough
I've never denied it was tough to leave Atlanta. It's interesting to me, for someone who's been so tightlipped, that I'm the only player he's even talked about. To me, that says there is something that needs to be explained.
huge kids next owe talk wife
I've been asked, 'What are you going to do next year?' I don't know. I know that when the season's over, I'll talk to my wife and I'll talk to my kids and see where they're at. I owe it to them to make them a huge part of the decision.
aware choose options
I've always been aware of what I eat. There are a lot of options and you have to choose carefully.
contingent high rightly staying
So much of that is contingent on us staying healthy. I think we have high expectations, and rightly so.
looks won
That's how we won them when I was there. It looks like it still works.
fill guys roles
You see guys fill in roles every year.
chance close figure game guys looking pitch power quite
You're looking at a game of more and more power pitchers, and quite honestly, you got to figure those guys are more susceptible to getting hurt. It'll be interesting to see how many of those guys are able to pitch long enough to even come close to having a chance to do it.
