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.
ball couple means meeting played quick type
We had a quick meeting and addressed a couple things. We're disappointed we haven't played better ball on this trip. It was by no means a kind of sense-of-urgency type of meeting or anything.
approach granted greatest hitters hopefully mean past pitches quality swinging treat
We're going to approach him the way we always have and just take for granted that he's going to be swinging the way he usually swings. I mean this guy's one of the greatest hitters of all time, so we're not going to treat him any differently. We'll try to approach him the same way we have in the past and that's to make quality pitches and hopefully not make a mistake.

brian game hit mean played players plays wish
You mean that's why they hit him? Why? Because he plays the game right? I wish all players played the game the way Brian Giles does. If that's why they hit him, that's not right.

I think anytime you're down eight runs and you end up getting the winning run at the plate, I think that shows a lot of character and heart of the club. They were battling to the end.

I think everyone would. That's the ideal, ... They get a hit, they create havoc when they're on base. If I had a choice, I'd go that way. But ...

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.
anyone choice claim decide lose paul stay
We don't want to lose him, ... We didn't want to designate anyone at this point. Our choice is that Paul would decide to stay and no one else will claim him.
base depth free great prospect third
We don't have a lot of depth at third base in the system. That's like having a prospect there, but we got him as a sixth-year free agent. That's a great find.
awesome bigger comeback home run
We couldn't have had a bigger home run than we got from Greenie. And then Ramon. That was just as awesome a comeback as I've seen.
full gonna
Well, I've got a full bench, ... and I'm gonna use 'em.
cash chances create golden tough
We had golden opportunities. We just didn't cash in. Those are always tough when you create as many chances as we did and don't execute.
