easy execute far five focused game pitchers pitches stay tired wrapped
That's very important. I like my pitchers to stay focused and execute pitches and not get wrapped up in the score, but that's not very easy to do. Jae got a little tired at the end. We had some long innings, but he did keep us in the game as far as getting throught the first five pretty easily.
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.
bounce far hard worked
It's disappointing because he's worked hard to get back where he is, as far as getting back into the league. It's something that's a setback, but he's young enough to where he can bounce back.
ball far good passes
He's making good passes at the ball and not favoring the leg, so let's get it going. He's probably as good as he's going to get as far as a shot. Let's see how he looks.
expect goes
You don't know what to expect when someone goes through something like that,
miss
We're going to miss (Mark) Mulder, ... That's good, I guess, huh?
dictate knows mound needs ready schedules wants whatever
We're going to let Pedro pretty much dictate when he's ready to get on the mound or do whatever he wants to do. We're going to let him take his time. He's a veteran. He knows what he needs to do. We don't need to put any schedules on him because that can always change.
playing until
We're going to keep playing until the end,
bullpen looks
We're going to keep him in the bullpen. I like the way the bullpen looks right now.
coming days gloom good
We're right where we want to be, ... I'm positive, man. I feel good about my guys. No gloom and doom. ... Big 10 days coming up. I feel fine.
fight hang heads
We always fight back. We've been that way the whole year. We don't hang our heads about anything; we try to get back in it as much as we can.
deal injuries permission personal
There are personal things you have to deal with and he had permission to do that. I don't have the details. It wasn't anything to do with doctors, injuries or his toe.
assuming hoping
We're assuming and hoping that he's going to be the guy.
camp coming feels good knowing learn personnel year
We've still got a lot to learn about each other, a lot to learn about winning. It just feels good to get that first year out of the way. It feels good knowing coming into this camp that you know your personnel better and feel more comfortable with what you expect.
