games might win
We might win 15 games in a row.
fair options speculate time
We could do a lot of different things. It's not fair to speculate right after the game, when you've got time to think what your options are.
coming guys perfect talked time
This was the perfect time to do it. I always like to let the guys know where I'm coming from. We talked hitting, we talked defense. It's something I don't think we do enough of in baseball.
felt hitting morning pitching urgency work
We flip-flopped things this morning to get the pitching and hitting in before that. We're going to work on our fundamentals all spring, so we felt like that wasn't an urgency right now.

Even if he would have lost or had a so-so game yesterday, he's still going to bring something to the table every time,

We seem to make a mistake at the most inopportune times, ... and that's what happens when you lose close games.
again ball confidence early guy himself pitches
We need to get him going. That's why you go to a guy early in the season, so he can get his confidence going. He'll be all right. We'll just give him the ball again and he'll make some pitches and get himself going.
feeling might onto playing rush
To put him on the DL right away would be playing it safe, obviously. But it's also important that we don't rush him onto the DL because he is feeling better today. So even if he doesn't play this weekend, he might be able to go on Tuesday.
change played sweep took victory
We wanted to sweep once we took the first two. I get greedy. But it's a long season. We've played for a month, but I don't think we done anything yet. And one more victory wasn't going to change that.

We wanted to play in and cut the runner off.
cut home run
We wanted to play in, ... and cut the run at home plate.

We wanted to play in and cut down the run at the plate. Basically we were in. A few steps here and there, but basically we weren't back.
shut
We'll just see how it goes, ... He isn't shut down.
