fact investment last matter point run serious sure thrown worry wrong
There's nothing wrong with his arm. It's probably a combination of a lot of things, and the fact that over the last two years he's thrown a lot of innings. It's nothing serious to the point where you have to worry about anything. It's just a matter of when you have an investment like him, you want to make sure you don't run the risk.
bleak clubhouse matter might stay
I feel very positive. No matter how bleak it might look, this clubhouse is going to stay positive.
best coming matter might proved proving winning
Winning like we did ... it might have proved something to the Phillies. But that doesn't matter as much as proving it to ourselves. Coming back is the best way to go. A 'we-can-do-it moment.' Yeah, I like that. Because we can do it.
ball math matter throwing
It's just a matter of, right now, our rotation's pretty set. Jae Seo's been throwing the ball well and we're not going to go to a six-man rotation. The math is easy.
boils learning matter pains winning
It's just a matter of going through the pains of learning how to play winning baseball, ... That's really what it boils down to.
bleak change clubhouse matter positive stay
No matter how bleak things look, in this clubhouse we're going to stay positive and keep playing. Things can change around.
believer bit extra firm guy matter time wrong year
I'm a firm believer that if you can give a guy an extra day, then there's nothing wrong with doing it. Everyone this time of year is a little bit banged up, a little bit sore, a little bit this, a little bit that. It doesn't matter because you have to take the ball.
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.
