baseball basically coach job people
My job is basically to coach the people who are there. Everyone in baseball knows, though, that Vazquez is a high-quality pitcher.
further guy mac needs ready spot spring until
Mac needs to come into spring ready to get a lot of innings. I'm not going to say he's our long guy or our seventh-inning guy or a spot starter, but he is a reliever right now until further notice.
criticism critics-and-criticism face guy ruined seen
Let's face it, there was a lot of criticism when he started in New York. I've been saying, if that would have ruined his career, then he's not the guy we thought he was anyway. And we've all seen first-hand that's not the case.

capable judgment passing staff starting winning
First of all, passing judgment on the guy, that's kind of strong. (The starting staff all) showed us what they can do. We know what they're capable of doing. Heck, they're capable of winning a World Championship.
ask nine
They're the goods, these guys. What did we get: 8 1/3 (innings), nine and nine? So, my gosh, I don't know if we can ask anything more than what they've been doing.
ability behind counts guys
All of our guys have the ability if they are behind in the counts to go soft,
amazed beyond maybe stop
This is beyond what I was expecting. It's pretty amazing. I don't know, maybe I should stop being amazed by these guys.
