kept nice year
That's the way it's been all year with us. It's what's kept us from getting on a nice roll.
giving
Liney's been unbelievable. He's been giving us what we need.
game needs overall time
I think overall with his game, he's a little rusty. He's a major-league player; he's a major-league hitter. He's going to be back up here. I just think, at this point, he needs some time down there.
coming happen hard sloppy stuff
It doesn't happen often, does it? It's something you never think about. It was relentless, and there's some hard stuff coming in. It was getting sloppy out there.
fill good kevin quite sign system veteran
It does give Kevin (Towers) a lot more flexibility. These aren't long-term deals, but they're good players. When you sign veteran players, (it means) you don't have someone in your system who's able to fill that void. Some of the catchers we think a lot of aren't quite ready.
mean took
When you first come up, you don't know what you're getting into. He thought he took too many pitches. This time, he's getting his swings. That doesn't mean he's out of control, just that he's being aggressive.
attacking focus instead looks loses men success tends
When you haven't had a lot of success up here, it comes down to confidence. He didn't have the same look he did this spring. It just looks like he loses his focus out there, especially with men on base. When things aren't going well, it looks like he tends to back off, instead of attacking the hitters.
deal injury mike
When you had the kind of injury Mike had, he's going to have flashbacks and you're going to have to deal with things.
believe four games three
When you do it three out of four games, you really believe it,
credit easy giving seems
We've got to come out of this. It seems like we're giving (opposing pitchers) credit a lot lately. We can't get down. There is no easy answer.
credit giving guy threw throw
We've got to come out of this and we will. Their guy did throw well. I know we're giving credit a lot lately, but he threw well.
balls good hit league major needs playing
We thought it would be good for him to get some playing time. He hit some balls hard, that were right at guys, but he's a little rusty. He's a Major League player. I like his swing. His legs, his health, he's doing much better there. He just needs some at-bats.
early knocked
We got knocked out early -- first round.
bottom came couple difference foot fought hard innings line ourselves shot winning
We shot ourselves in the foot a couple innings there, and that was the difference in the ballgame. We fought hard to try to get back to winning the game, and came close, but bottom line is we didn't play well tonight.
