board guy hurt key needed redeem run spot starting whether
Regardless, we needed to get something on the board with that at-bat. I'm the key guy in that spot to make something happen. I didn't come through. It hurt us right there. We have to get a run in, whether it's a flyball or something else. In that situation, I'm the person you want up there -- I'm the person I want up there. Hopefully, starting tomorrow, I'll have opportunities to redeem myself.
blood brain guys house playing rest smelled
We got lucky. They had a brain cramp. The rest of the game, we were playing with house money. ... I think the guys smelled blood in the water.
guys knew nobody year
Nobody knew this year these guys were going to do as well as they've done,
finished guys lone team
There's something to be said for that. We've never done it. Those guys have finished it out before. This team hasn't. For that lone reason, those guys, to me, are the favorite. But do I like our chances? Yes, I do.
against guys hitting mediocre pressure team throw
I've said it before. This team is going to go how the hitting goes. It's too much pressure for these guys to throw shutouts every game. We need to be consistent, especially against a mediocre pitcher.
cap colon guy league legitimate rest runs team tip type
Sometimes you really do have to tip your cap to the other guy. I mean, Colon is a legitimate Cy Young type of guy, and Lackey is right up there in the league in strikeouts. But tonight, we should have scored some runs off this guy. The rest of the league does. We're the only team the guy shuts out.
good guys joe seen stuff timid
I know. That's how good Joe was. In this environment, it's a big deal, and I've seen a lot of our guys go out there pretty timid at times. But there was nothing timid about Blanton. I thought he had really good stuff tonight, and he just went after guys with it.
afraid dropping early guys hurt ready saw spring takes training
I just think guys were more afraid of getting hurt than anything. I know what it takes to get ready. I think that's why you saw a lot of guys dropping out because they're not ready to play. It's too early to play, especially competitively. That's why spring training is what it is.
dominate guys league rich stuff wants
He's like Rich Harden, he could dominate in this league for a long time, if he wants to and he focuses. Some guys have the stuff to dominate, but Hernandez pitches, too.
guy intense sure
It's always been kind of intense but it's always been clean, too. I like every guy over there. There's not a guy I don't like. But I'm sure this won't be the end of it, that's for sure.
blowing favorite guys
I think without a doubt, those guys are the favorite to win. And I'm not blowing smoke, because there's something to be said for guys that have done it before.
dictate feeling gonna next scoring
I think we're back into feeling comfortable about scoring runs. I think hitting's really gonna dictate how well we do next month.
handled impressive performance seen stuff wall worried
I think the way his stuff was and how he handled the hitters, that was the most impressive performance I've seen here. He wasn't worried about the lineup, the (left field) wall or anything like that.
dictate hitting next week
Just a week ago, we couldn't find a hit. Hitting is really going to dictate how well we do the next month.
