impressive poised second
The thing you like about him is he's very comfortable and very poised in the field. Yeah, he didn't play second today, but that's impressive to me.
billy bottom came closed great guys job liked line nice picked picking pitchers scratch throw today
The thing I liked about today more than anything was we picked each other up. I really thought the pitchers did a nice job of picking guys up and we had to scratch for some runs, but the bottom line is that Billy came in and closed it on a great throw by Carlos.
against bit feeling pitches
The thing about Pedro is that even if he's a little bit gassed, he can make pitches for you, ... I had a feeling that against some of those young, inexperienced hitters, he'd be able to make a pitch, and he did.
bring delivery guy pitch somebody unorthodox
Sometimes you come in with a guy who is unorthodox in a delivery and he'll get you an out. Bring somebody in with a different look and come in with a pitch you don't see everyday.
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.
wait
Right now, we just have to wait and see. But it doesn't look too good.
exciting game nice night win
Pretty exciting night for us. Nice win for us in the first game of a homestand. Now we've got two more big ones.
ball edge kept likes pitches
Sanchez kept us on the edge of our seats. He made pitches when he had to. He likes the ball every day.
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.
man rather stand voice
I'd rather have a man who's going to stand up and say what he believes. We have a right as Americans to voice that opinion.
asked felt guy last work
I asked him how he felt. He said he felt great. I told him this was his last hitter, get this guy for me. And it didn't work out.
concerned opening ready trust
I am not concerned at all. I trust Pedro and that he'll be ready to go (by Opening Day).
