I said the other day that they are going to let us hang around here and let us win this thing,
I think John gained that experience and understanding that he can do it now at this level. He is what I call 'established' now on this staff. He doesn't have to come here and win a job. All he has to do is get ready for the season.
We'll win our share of games. If things break right, we might surprise somebody.
We want to win tomorrow. We'll go out and approach it that way, and hopefully we can get one.
We have three more games to play and we have to win those three games,
You know the old saying, 'Don't let a guy hang around if you have a chance to knock him out.' They had a chance knock us out the entire second half of the season and they haven't done it yet. Maybe, we'll bounce back off the ropes, get off the canvas and win this thing.
We'll go through the whole staff again tomorrow. I'm not thinking long term, right now. I'm thinking about trying to win that one tomorrow. It's going to be a handful in itself.
If we can do that more often, we're going to win our share of games.
He didn't have enough. We needed a better performance out of him to have a chance to win the game.
We have to do whatever it takes right now, ... That's our rallying cry: whatever it takes. We have to put it together now. We can't win one, lose one, win one, lose two.
Nobody is going to win a job today, tomorrow or the first week of Spring Training. So everybody settle down and do what you are capable of doing. Get yourself ready for the long haul. Mostly everybody in that room doesn't have a real good chance to make that club. There are just too many people in there.
Zach Day has good enough stuff to win at this level. He's shown flashes, but he hasn't put it together over a long period of time.
You've seen how ugly it's been and how desperate we needed to win a game. Hopefully, this will get us going.
You not going to win too many games if you can't keep the ball in ballpark. We are not doing a good job with that, either. It has to get better.
