awhile bad happens
He made some bad pitches, ... It happens every once in awhile - not too often.
concern playing
He never voiced any concern about being here or playing here,
few
He'll botch a few here and there. You can't have it all. But one thing about him, he'll work.
double needs work
He needs a lot of work on the double play,
bad bit hurting obviously picking time
We're obviously picking a bad time to go into a little bit of a swoon. And it's hurting us.
good team
Spoilers are losers, ... I don't want to ever have my team feel good about being spoilers.
case goes guys hope human longer natural seen time
Some guys take a little longer to exhale. It's a natural thing, a human thing. I think that most of the guys I've seen in the league, as time goes on they get more and more comfortable. I hope that's the case with him.
mean
That doesn't mean a whole lot to me.
doubt fact guy hope love pray track
Look at his track record. No doubt about it. I love the fact he's on our staff. I hope and pray he's the guy we all know.
few game winning
(Matsui) has to get back into game shape. The kid's doing really well defensively and we're winning a few games, so there's no rush, that's for sure.
bat certain hands plate poise speed willing
His hands have been good. I like his approach, I like that he's willing to take a walk. He has a certain poise at the plate with some bat speed at the end of his swing.
bothering feeling foot pushing
His foot is still bothering him, so this is like pushing him back. If he was feeling 100 percent, he would have pitched. We'll re-evaluate as we go. I would think if we're mathematically out of it, he's not going to pitch.
boys constantly fair finish good guys knock nice players preach talk until
It's nice to talk about where guys are going to finish and what guys are going to do, but to me until you knock off the big boys I think it's fair to say they are the favorites. I feel good about our chances, obviously, and preach to our players constantly about winning. But you've still got to do it first.
helped next time
Any time you have to be helped off the field, you're not going to make your next start.
