expect good hitters swinging
This is what I expect from our guys. We've got a lot of good hitters in the lineup and when they're swinging like this, it's what they should be doing.
anyone change early
This is why we don't anoint anyone early in camp. Things change, and they may change again.
ball inch problem
An inch here, an inch there, that ball is through. I don't have a problem with that.
ball excited forget hits home knows needs time
Any time Jose hits a home run, I try to forget it real quick. I let him know that he needs to forget about it real quick, so I don't get excited about home runs. He knows I don't like for him to hit the ball in the air. But he's got some pop.
bullpen coming
The bullpen is coming along. It's been pretty solid.
billy bullpen games innings starter turn win
This is how we're going to win most of our games this year. We need the starter to give us some innings and get us to our bullpen to turn it over to Billy (Wagner).
guys nice
This is something we're doing because we want to get guys out here, see what we have, get acquainted, all that stuff. ... It's nice to kind of get an idea of what you'd like things to look like.
totally
The way things are going for us, ... you never feel like things are totally safe.

This could be a springboard. As long as we keep winning, I'm not going to apologize for anything. It's been a crazy year. Strange things have happened.
bleak change clubhouse matter positive stay
No matter how bleak things look, in this clubhouse we're going to stay positive and keep playing. Things can change around.

No reason to change what's working. We've been playing well. I wanted to leave Miguel in there.

This is a big one for us. We're looking forward to this challenge.
guys rhythm trying
They're trying to find a rhythm and everything, so guys like that, you just let them do their thing.
division good guys
They're the division champions. Those are the guys we've got to go through to be where we want to be. We feel good going into the series. We want to feel good going out.
