add love
We love what Ojeda does defensively. We'll see if we can get him tightened up to add a little more offense.

We will make our decision (today). We will evaluate what has happened and talk to the parties involved before we make any announcements.

We've only won 62 games this year. We've still got a lot of work ahead of us.
heard pitcher saw
We saw a different pitcher than what we heard about.
far good gotten parts roll solid
We just haven't gotten on a roll here where we've been able to put the combinations together, as far as the good-pitched game, solid bullpen, the good hitting, the good defense. We haven't done that with much regularity at home. We've had this part or that part -- we haven't had all the parts in a roll.
fences knocking stripping
We keep knocking fences down that have been put up over the years. We're stripping the paint.

We're not messenger boys. We want to be delivery boys. We have to play and win games.

We're not looking to fiddle around too much, but they both have qualities that we can take advantage of.

We're not looking for cheerleaders. We're looking for men that can make a difference, and when a man has something to say, it's something of substance.
agonizing beaten clean dig efficient games hole imaginable knew last losses lost obviously step
We have been beaten and had agonizing losses and we've lost games every way imaginable for way too long to get overconfident. We knew we couldn't dig a hole like last year. You know where that's going to get you, in any sport. So to come out clean and efficient is obviously a step in the right direction.
winning jason tough
As they say in the rodeo business, he just drew a tough one. There were a lot of positives for Jason to take out of this. He put us in a position to win.
dad winning feet
One thing I hear from fans is, 'My Dad's got one foot in the grave, and he wants to see the Pirates win ' I've heard that more than anything. That's our goal.
easy please hard
I'm easy to please and hard to satisfy.
moving reality tv-shows
You know what I'm not going to do I'm not going to tell you every move I'm going to make. This isn't a reality TV show. Some things are just best left unsaid. I'll handle the club the way I deem is necessary. They just need to play.
