pitch walk
Walk A-Rod? And pitch to Giambi? How about that one?
dwell evaluate guys home mirror move next terms themselves
In terms of our record, that's just something we have to live with and move on. We can't dwell on it. Some of the guys should feel good, some of them shouldn't feel so hot. If they go home and look in the mirror and evaluate themselves the way they should, we should be much better next year.
games guy help win
He's a guy that'll help us win some games.
coming depending few guess guys players year
Depending on what year it is, with the young players we have coming up in the organization, I would guess there's going to be a few of our guys in that game.
bottom guys kid last line looked
I thought he looked the same as he did last year. The bottom line is he's a big kid who can get guys out.
anyway decided guy instructed move runs smarter throw
In that situation, with a basestealer on first and a guy that runs on third, with his move he was instructed not to throw to first. But he decided to anyway because he's smarter than I am.
field guys
That was very instinctive. I don't know if there are many guys on the field who could have done that.
barrel guy veteran
He's a veteran guy who understands what a guy is doing and just put the barrel on it.
everywhere faced game games guys handled newspapers played proud team themselves toughest tv worst
This game was so crazy. It's probably one of the worst games we played in the whole streak. I told the guys after the game that they handled one of the toughest times ever in baseball. A young team faced TV and newspapers and everywhere they read they were scrutinized. I'm proud of them. It was tough, but the guys handled themselves with class.
fighting fights-and-fighting guy
That's not enough for a guy who's scrambling, fighting for a job.
flow game guy
It was the other extreme, but a guy like Santana can do that to you. He can make things look real lethargic. The game just didn't have a flow to it.
fun guys hit opposed sit watch
Offensively, it was fun to just sit back and watch our guys hit as opposed to scratching out every run.
benefit command far giving guys maintain needed pitch
There were some things we needed him to do as far as his conditioning. We needed him to maintain his stuff, which he has. But his command has not been good. We're kind of giving him the benefit of the doubt. A lot of times, big-league guys go to Triple-A and don't pitch that well. We need him to give us a lift. He's a big-league guy.
bullets guys
There's not a whole lot of guys that have the bullets to get these guys.
