baseball heart games
It's amazing what you can do in this game with a heart and a brain
catch extremely good guys hot pitch reason
We didn't catch these guys at a real good time. You know what? We didn't pitch very well, and a big, big reason for that is they've got some guys who are extremely hot right now.
building chemistry group mainly simplify stay trying work
We're not trying to make a lot of changes. We're mainly trying to simplify things and work on building chemistry in the clubhouse. This group is pretty well low-maintenance. For the most part I've just been trying to stay out of the way.
cautious hoping starters
We're hoping our starters give us more innings. All indications are they will. We want to be cautious with our bullpen.
preparing quite ready time worst
We're going about it, quite frankly, that Zack is not going to be here in time to get ready for the rotation. We pretty much are preparing for the worst right now. That could change. I don't think it will.
count kids pitch strict younger
We have a really strict pitch count for these younger kids.
count kids pitch strict
We have a real strict pitch count for these young kids and he was at 97. We were going to let him go between 95 and 100.
seeing sent
We told Peralta when we sent him down that we'd probably be seeing him soon. We just didn't think it'd be this soon.
quite throwing woody
Woody wasn't throwing at him. But, quite frankly, Doug did what he had to do to keep things from escalating.
focus four game nature running stop
When they got the four runs, we can't stop playing. We've got to keep playing. The nature of the game is to keep going. I didn't think the focus was there at the end after they got the four runs. That can't happen. I'm kind of running out of answers.
heard hundred last whatever
Whatever I said to them last night, they've heard a hundred times. So, no.
next nice
When we do things like that we don't usually come back. So it was nice to come back, especially in that next inning.
continue happened
Those are the kind of things we can't continue to do. There's a lot of things that happened that shouldn't have happened.
We have some depth. It just makes it that much more competitive. There are a lot of openings.
