baseball explain five hit hope judged people saw stopped testing
What is their proof? ... Are they testing players, too? How do you explain that? Or have they stopped testing now? We just saw him hit five in 30 at-bats. So what's going on now? I hope that he's judged by the real baseball people when he's finished.
innings last runs three
We had one six-run inning, but that was it. There wasn't a whole lot going on. We did the same thing last night; we scored all our runs in one inning. That being said, I'd like two or three innings of scoring.
feels guy time
Usually when a guy feels like that, it's time to think about retirement.
eight fix pitches throw
We're not going to have him throw just eight pitches in 10 days. We've got to do something to fix that situation.
ahead throw
Those who feel they are clean, go ahead and throw the first rock.
club coming needed plans
We didn't have plans for him to do that. Not only that, he had to do that coming back from injuries. He had to do it because the club needed him.
forgot games losing threw win
Tomko threw well. It's just that we forgot how to win games at home. If it's 3-2, we're always on the losing side.
against hit offensive stop team tough
Tomko had a tough time. They hit him pretty good. We put a left-hander in to stop the bleeding. They're a tough offensive team against righty pitching.
ball charged coming guy hard lose signed throwing time
We're going to take our time with him. It's really hard to lose Noah, a young guy who was really coming up big. He just signed a long-term contract. He was really charged up and throwing the ball well.
depended open
The possibility was open for him to be here during the game. It all depended on something he had to do.
five games losing loss months spent
We spent five months losing series. That's what has us five games back - not the loss tonight.
feet last opening question start wet
With time, we look to him to be a No. 1-type guy. If he's healthy, there's no question he's in the rotation. He won't be overwhelmed by an opening day start at home. That's why it was important for him to get his feet wet last year.
game hit intensity leadership life
Wow, he was good. The leadership there on the hill, the intensity ... we didn't hit much, but there was a lot of life in this game because of him.
We have no scheduled day off for him tomorrow.
