assume both guys laying leaning maybe nasty start toward
You kind of flinch a little bit, when you see can see that both of them have a bead on it. When the guys start laying out a little bit, leaning toward the ball, that's when you assume that maybe something nasty could happen. Very scary.
aggressive both crowd far happens hear large
They wanted to make the play. They're both very aggressive and went after it. That happens sometimes when you have two aggressive outfielders. Large crowd and a lot of noise, sometimes you don't hear each other, as far as communication. But it's just the way we play, man, very aggressive, and it's unfortunate to have to collide like that.
both impact last mets signed
When the Mets first signed him, they signed him to do these things. I wasn't here last year, but obviously, they signed him to be an impact player, both offensively and defensively.
arm bother feels minor
Pedro told me that his arm feels great. He has this little, minor thing with his toe, but I don't think it's going to bother him at all.
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.
bat swinging
We've been swinging the bat well all year. Everyone contributes to that.
couple good leaving pitchers ran shut
We just ran into a couple of good pitchers and they shut us down after leaving Arizona.
gave regular routine stay
We just gave a heads-up that's a possibility. He'll stay on a regular routine for now and then we'll see.
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.
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.
stay
It was ugly, ... It's not the way you've got to do things to get back and stay in things.
ask base coached guy sent third tough
I've coached third base for 10 years and I don't second-guess my third-base coach, ... It was a tough decision. I didn't tell him to tell him to go. You have to ask the guy that sent him.
