I would have rather lost the game than to see that happen.
against last lose lost pitching score staff
You can't lose them the way we lost them. When you score one or two against a pitching staff that's last in the league. It's a mystery.
four guys handling job last lost overall played playing terrific three took year
If you look at last year, we had Scott playing and he had some really big hits, but overall he was really banged up, he wasn't the same the last two months, ... This year we lost four regulars, three of them are boppers, and the guys that took their place did a terrific job of handling the bat, so we played a little different game.

The best way to keep yourself competitive is not to change anything. Right now we're trying to grind out wins and win the division.
albert ball balls gone hit track warning
The ball Albert hit would've gone out anywhere. There weren't balls that were hit to the warning track that did not go out that would have gone out in other ballparks. I think it's going to play like the other one.
al credit gets guys miss soon sounds speak step sure win
I want to make sure Al Reyes gets the credit he deserves, but you don't want to speak so much about that and pretty soon it sounds like we can't win without him, ... That's an important miss for us, but we have other guys who can step up.
hear needed ready team whatever
not what I wanted to hear. I would've wanted to hear him say he was ready to do whatever the team needed him to do in this situation.
neck sore
The neck where he had the whiplash, that's what's sore -- more sore.
