ear goes rest
Ideally, we'll just see how it goes and play it by ear the rest of the way,
bit confidence goes history hope next pick road share struggle team teams unless win
If we're going to be a team that goes to the next level, we have to play better on the road. That's the way it's been over the history of the game. Most teams struggle a little bit on the road unless you're a top-echelon team. So we hope that we pick it up a little bit more and win our share so we can have that confidence going on the road.
expect goes
You don't know what to expect when someone goes through something like that,
goes good sure teammates wing
He'll be fine. He's a good kid. Goes about his business. He's got a lot of teammates who can take him under their wing and I'm sure they'll do that.
case goes guys hope human longer natural seen time
Some guys take a little longer to exhale. It's a natural thing, a human thing. I think that most of the guys I've seen in the league, as time goes on they get more and more comfortable. I hope that's the case with him.
bat swinging
We've been swinging the bat well all year. Everyone contributes to that.

We just ran into a couple of good pitchers and they shut us down after leaving Arizona.

We just gave a heads-up that's a possibility. He'll stay on a regular routine for now and then we'll see.

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.
