close happens lose mistake seem
We seem to make a mistake at the most inopportune times, ... and that's what happens when you lose close games.
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.
dust happens
It's a competition. Let it play out and we'll see what happens when the dust clears.
awhile bad happens
He made some bad pitches, ... It happens every once in awhile - not too often.
adhere concerned control guys happens people policy
I have no control over what people do. It's unfortunate for them, but we have a drug policy and you have to adhere to that. If guys want to take on that, it's on them. I'm concerned about what happens on the big-league level. We have a policy in place and everyone understands that. That's the law.

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.
