games might win
We might win 15 games in a row.
exciting game nice night win
Pretty exciting night for us. Nice win for us in the first game of a homestand. Now we've got two more big ones.
consider expect win winner
There's no pressure. I've always been a winner and I expect to win now. I don't consider that pressure.
bring himself hit homer might run setting table unless wall win
You bring so much more to the table with all those tools. Unless he's really setting himself back, that's part of being a professional athlete. We didn't want him to run through a wall or anything like that, but ... he might hit a three-run homer to win a ballgame.
game mean next series winning
Winning the first game of the series doesn't mean anything if we don't win the next two, or one of the next two.
closer win
We have to win the game. He's our closer and I thought he'd come in and close it out.
ball blessing break played plenty resting sets spring strong time training winter
I don't think its sets him back. He played winter ball so he had enough throwing. It could be a blessing in disguise. If you take a little break before spring training he could be strong after resting up. He'll have plenty of time to get ready.
call takes whatever win
I wouldn't call him a swingman ... he could be in the roation by the end of the year. Nothing's etched in stone. We're just doing whatever it takes to win games.
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.
bottom chance line looking win
Obviously, when you're looking at it, it's not too pretty. But the bottom line is we still had a chance to win the game.
aggressive bring chance deep factor help table whoever win
One thing we bring to the table is our aggressive speed. That can also be a factor if you play smart. When I make my lineup card, I put whoever I feel has a chance to help us win that day. I try not to get too deep about it.
bottom hard learning line process winning
We're just going through the process of learning how to play winning baseball. The bottom line is that we're learning the hard way.
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.
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.
