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.
earned himself played took win
He's played very well, and to be honest, he's flat-out earned this. He took it upon himself to win this job, and that's what he's done.

He looks the same. I don't see any difference in his bat speed. He got a hanging breaking ball and took advantage of it.
came good hung took
He came out of it and I think after that (pitch), he hung in there and took some good swings.
sign took
He wanted me to sign it, ... He took it over to me.
ask good guys hoping run took tying winning
We had our guys up there in the eighth, and you can't ask for more than that. What you're hoping for there is to get the tying or winning run on, and we did both, but they got a very big out. Randa took a pretty good swing, but just got it up in the air.
ball granted took
took for granted that the ball went out and he tossed it into the stands. He thought it was out. That's why he did what he did.
action good great ground hard looks sinking throw took
It's hard to throw much better than that, ... He made it look easy. He had great command, good sinking action and was getting ground balls. He made adjustments, and it looks like he took it out there.
anytime battling character eight heart runs shows winning
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.
create havoc
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 ...
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.
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.
