man wear
I used to wear his old man out.
anytime ball evaluate gets guy threw throws
Things still could change, but Vic threw the ball well, ... As I said earlier, we'll evaluate as we go, but anytime a guy throws well, does well, he gets the upper hand.
tough
They are all tough, man, ... and this is tough as it gets.
bad feels good pitcher pop says situation
The way our lineup is set up, if Carlos feels he's comfortable doing that and you get it down, you made the right play. In a situation like that, a good pitcher like Carpenter, it's not a bad play. If you get it down, no one says anything. You pop it up, it's a story.
advantages depth pitching schedule speed
The schedule is the schedule, but I like my team. If there are any advantages we have (over the other wild-card hopefuls), it is our speed and the depth of our pitching staff.
certain experience good growing guys happen learning sure talked taste
I've talked to my guys about it. All teams, when they go through a growing process, these things happen before you get to a certain level. I told them to make sure they don't like the taste they have in their mouth. It's going to be a good learning experience for them.
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.
boxing energy excited fans lane mills
There's an energy to this team. There's an energy about this team. I'm as excited about it as our fans are. What did Mills Lane (old boxing ref) used to say? Let's get it on.
evaluation
That's part of the whole evaluation of what we want to do.
gotten huge kenny momentum reminded
That reminded me of the Kenny Lofton of yesteryear. Those were huge plays. We could have gotten some momentum going.
asset confidence himself needs player
That little butcher-boy play is a play he needs to do more often. It's a big asset for him. He just needs to have confidence in himself to do it a lot. That's his game. That's the kind of player he's going to be. That's the player he should be, so I'd like to see him do it.
double sweet
That really got us kick-started. That was a sweet double play.
above below finish good nice nicer season strong
It's nice to finish strong and end the season on a good note. It's nicer to be above .500 than below it. But .500 is mediocre. We want to be better than that.
