Sometimes they give me a little juice, a little energy.
bust gets hitters
Sometimes big hitters try to do too much. Sometimes he gets down on himself, but we keep him going. He's going to bust out of it.
career fate timing turned
Sometimes fate and timing can be really scary. It probably turned his career around.
everybody extra help luxury six time year
Everybody could use an extra day. It's not about Pedro. It's about this time of the year having the luxury of six (starters) who can help you out.
barry best bonds conscious course decision faces game hitters hope obviously pick presence situation spots team totally
Every situation is totally different for me. Every team that faces Barry Bonds has the same dilemma. You just pick your spots in the course of the game and you try to make the right decision and hope that it's executed. It's no different than any other team. Obviously, he's still a presence and obviously he's still one of the best hitters in the game and you have to be very conscious of him.
anywhere ball
At 3-and-0, you don't want to give him a ball anywhere around the plate.
bring bullets few good save
At the time, I thought it was a good time. I just wanted to save a few bullets if I could ... You've got an 8-0 lead, you should be able to bring in one of your back-end relievers.
confidence fine good hoping last victor
Victor was fine tonight. Last year, he was good for us for a little stretch. I'm hoping he'll get back to that again. I have a lot of confidence in Victor Zambrano.
good hoping movement naturally stay stuff victor work year
Victor has a lot of movement on his pitches, so sometimes he's going to be out of the zone. But this year is a different year. And I'm hoping that he can stay around the zone, so he can use his stuff and let his stuff naturally work for him, because he's got good movement.
few guys hard last loop players tone understand ways work workout year
You go through the first loop and you make a few adjustments so it's accommodating in some ways to players and getting their work in. Last year I wanted to set the tone with a hard workout and get guys' attention, and get guys working and to understand that's what we're here for.
aaron balanced stronger
We are stronger and more balanced with Aaron there. Aaron makes the whole nucleus that much better.
expecting move near nowhere obviously reason
There's no reason obsessing about it now. It's over, done with, and you can move on, but obviously it was nowhere near what we were expecting to do.
consider expect win winner
There's no pressure. I've always been a winner and I expect to win now. I don't consider that pressure.
frame plan time
There's no time frame yet. We have a Plan B.
