excited good news
We got as good of news as we could expect. We're excited about it.
bad difference good news sent
The good news on C.J. is that he pitched real well. He was a real difference maker. The bad news is we sent him down, but he'll be back on Monday.
deserved guys posted
Those guys posted up every day. They deserved that cookie.
amount walked
We walked him the right amount of times.
bullpen ready sitting
We were sitting there getting ready to be in our bullpen early.
broken changes dreams feelings game given guys hearts human iq last normal seen series wins year
We had our hearts broken last year, and this year we've seen our off-season dreams of a World Series erode and go away, ... It's normal human feelings to be disappointed. In this game your IQ changes with wins and losses, and right now we're not real smart. But the guys are competing. We haven't given up.
plenty score
We had plenty of opportunities to score 10 or 11 runs.
saw velocity worth
We didn't like what we saw from (Young). In warmups, he didn't look like we had it. His velocity was down, and it wasn't worth the risk.
attributes describe fit help hope successful willing
We hope he can help us in the big leagues. It's very unconventional, but if you describe all the attributes that successful knuckleballers have up here, R.A. would fit into that. He's a strike-thrower, competitive, no-ego and he's willing to do what it takes.
edison hope progress
We hope that one day Edison makes the progress that Cabrera has made.
damage helping tough walked
We walked too many people. That was the difference. That's a tough lineup. They can do enough damage without us helping them.
talking wore yesterday
Yesterday wore him out. I think the thing that wore him out was talking to so many people.
pass realize records track
You have to realize that a lot of years have to pass before the track records and resumes make you feel real comfortable so it's not a given.
feels gotten looks needs tomorrow
We'll see how he feels tomorrow and see if he needs more tests. It looks like we may have gotten lucky.
