games might win
We might win 15 games in a row.
choices games harder reactions
Obviously, if you play games like that with the fans, they can come down harder on you. We all have choices to make and reactions to different things.
affect caught fans games love plays regardless understand win
I can't get caught up in that. I know the fans would love to get payback, but what they (the fans) don't understand is you still have to play the game. We want to win the games very badly. We can't think that if we don't do well how will it affect you mentally. Regardless of how this plays out, we still have to play them again.
chance five games gives guys lock next pitch ready sure themselves
We have 25 games left, and we have to go for it, ... I want to make sure that my next five guys know what they need to do and know that they're going to pitch and they can get themselves ready for the ballgame. This gives them a better chance to just lock in.
barometer base best bit couple emphasis games good guys knocks relax spring training turn whatever
It was good to see him relax a little bit and get going. Obviously, spring training is not the best barometer for how you base these guys but, you know, he was 0-for-20 or whatever and he had a couple knocks so that's why you don't put a lot of emphasis on games like this because you can turn it around in one day.
finish games win
It's important to finish up strong, win as many games as we can,
believe finish games hard playing spring worked
We worked hard this year, and we want to finish up strong, and that's what we're going to do. I don't believe in playing major-league games to just look at people. That's what spring training's for.
break games nice walk
A big walk by Julio and we got a break at the end. Those are the kind of games that are nice to win.
billy bullpen games innings starter turn win
This is how we're going to win most of our games this year. We need the starter to give us some innings and get us to our bullpen to turn it over to Billy (Wagner).
games
I think we should be 10 games over really.
affect games given point team weak
I would think that any team at this point in time, given where we are, would be pretty weak if they let these two games affect them,
affect days doom games given good last looking point team three weak
I would think any team at this point in time, given where we are, would be pretty weak if they let these games affect them. Because we're still there. We can make up for these last three days if we play well on the road. I'm positive, man. I feel good about my guys. No doom and gloom. We're looking forward.
against expect games teams tough win
You can't expect to win games against tough teams if you don't execute.
bat swinging
We've been swinging the bat well all year. Everyone contributes to that.
