good hoping movement naturally stay stuff victor work year
Victor has a lot of movement on his pitches, so sometimes he's going to be out of the zone. But this year is a different year. And I'm hoping that he can stay around the zone, so he can use his stuff and let his stuff naturally work for him, because he's got good movement.
react stuff
I don't ever react to stuff like that.
bringing closer comforting game good legitimate obviously stuff
Obviously bringing in Wagner, a legitimate closer who makes you feel real good at the end of the game when you give him the ball, all of that stuff is really comforting for most managers.
adding bite coffin crucial nail punishment stuff
We're not able to put the nail in the coffin so to speak, just adding on. All crucial runs, all stuff that comes back to bite you later. We must be gluttons for punishment I guess.
energy stuff talking team waste work
The more work he gets, the better he'll be. His stuff is still good. He's able to make pitches. As long as we're doing well, I don't really see the need to waste a lot of energy talking about him. He's part of the team and the team is doing well.
against certain environment gets lights pitch playing positive saw stuff until
I saw him pitch lights out many times against the Yankees. We have to play this stuff out. I'm just being really positive about him because I know he can do certain things. But until he gets into this new environment playing for us, you don't know that.
boils good guys holes job learned main poke ready stuff team
It boils down to how the guys play for you. That's the most important thing for me. I've done a good job getting my team ready to play every day. That is, as a manager, all you can do. The other stuff you can poke holes in. The main thing is I've learned a lot about the game.
fastball low overall sneaky stuff threw
His stuff was pretty good, I thought, really. He had a sneaky fastball and threw in the low 90s. I think overall he threw the ball pretty well.
energy stuff talking team waste
His stuff is good. Hey, we're 9-2 and he's a part of our team and as long as we're doing well I don't feel I should waste a lot of energy talking about him.
bouncing stuff
He was probably just bouncing around with exercises, stuff like that. His stomach's a little upset.
chance ran stuff time
This is my first time getting a chance to see him on my team. That other stuff from other clubs, that's what he ran into there.
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.
