great guy
Pedro has pitched great for us. He's a guy we need down the stretch.
coming covered guys prepared tested
We're covered in the outfield. We're getting tested right off the bat. But you need to be prepared for anything. We have experienced guys coming off the bench.
couple definitely full guys hurt
It definitely hurt because we've got a couple of guys down now so we're not at full strength,
discipline guy hitting nice productive swing
I wouldn't put him in the five-hole if I didn't think he was (capable). I think he's got discipline. He's got a nice swing and I think he could be a very productive guy in our lineup hitting in the 5-6-7 hole.
build continue fill guys holes next trying winning year
You have to fill some holes each year. Next year will be a different club, too. Ideally, you want to have guys come up through your system, but in the meantime, you want to continue to have winning seasons. What we're trying to do is build some consistency.
bounce close experience goes guys hand looking playing previous productive swagger year
Swagger goes hand in hand with playing well. We have a lot of experience here. We're not looking for these guys to bounce back and have MVP years, but to be productive and have a year close to the previous year.
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.
bullpen cameron center field guys sure wait
We had to make sure the bullpen was in order. We've got some guys in the bullpen who need a break. So we'll wait a day, and Cameron will be in center field (today).
guys numbers softball swing
You look at their numbers and you'd think we were in a softball league. They have some young guys who can swing the bat. We fattened up some averages, that's for sure.
gets guys love watching
This never gets old. I love watching the guys do this.
couple good guys next rest streak
We're going to rest some guys the next couple of days. But it's also good for us to get on a streak here.
appreciate catcher everybody fame game gives great guy hall knows lifetime power run smart talking though watch
We're talking about a guy who's going into the Hall of Fame. He's got great presence, and what he's accomplished in the game is pretty remarkable, especially being a catcher. It's amazing, everybody knows about his power but this guy is a lifetime .300 hitter. He's a smart hitter, and what you appreciate when you watch Mike, even though he's a catcher and can't run like (Mike) Cameron, he's full-bore all the time. I mean, he gives you everything on the field.
adam bat expect guy hope last limit played speed throwing year
I expect to see the same guy I did last year. I hope they'll limit him to 30 or 40 games. That first at-bat off Adam Eaton last year was very impressive. The guy hadn't played all year and Eaton was throwing 93-94 and he doubled off the wall. That bat speed is always there.
blow defense great guy hot playing terrific
He was playing terrific baseball. He was playing great defense and he was one of our hot bats. This is a big blow for us. He's a guy we're going to miss.
