feels next
That's the plan. We'll see how he feels the next two days.
feels good since win
It feels good to win two games, especially since they out-hit us in all three.
concentration feels good great majority physically pressure
I think physically he feels good and I think the pressure of the postseason has got his concentration back to where it was a great, great majority of the season.
feels turned
He turned his ankle. We'll see how he feels tomorrow.
feeling feels good leaning tomorrow toward wait
He had a good throw. We're leaning toward it, (but) we're going to wait and see how he feels tomorrow during the off day. If he comes in feeling great, he starts. If not, we go the other way.
expect feeling feels good leaning throw tomorrow towards wait
He had a good throw, and we're leaning towards him, but we'll wait and see how he feels tomorrow during the off-day. If he comes in feeling great, he starts. If not, we'll go the other way. But he had a good throw and we expect him to pitch.

chance clubs dangerous facing forward gives somebody win
(Opponents) still think he's a dangerous hitter, ... I don't think clubs look forward to facing him. If you think there's somebody who gives you a better chance to win than Larry, you put that person in there. I don't see him.
champion feeling gets great last magic number taught zero
We went through this last year. ... We're not going to get into wild-card formulas. The magic number has got to be zero to celebrate. It is one. ... It's a great feeling to know we're going to play in October, but we've always been taught you're a champion when it gets to zero.
answered believe cheap exactly guys luxury means question responsibility time walking
I've answered this question every time exactly how I believe it, and that is that we had the luxury of a crooked-number lead, and the responsibility of our relievers were No. 1: Get outs. But No. 2: Don't give them any cheap opportunities, which means walking guys because you're being too fine,
