ballgame fly great lazy opportunity outfield win wins
We get another great opportunity to win that ballgame with my at-bat, and it's just unforgivable to not put a ball in play. You don't even need to get a hit. A lazy fly to the outfield wins that ballgame.
definitely red says teams
You always have teams you play well against, for us it's the Red Sox. It definitely says something about us.
red teams
You always have teams you play well against, for us it's the Red Sox,
bit gets happens monkey self until
You can go down there and get as many at-bats as you want, but until you get that first one out of the way back in the big leagues, it's tough. You have a little bit of self doubt. You're wondering, 'Am I ready?' And once that first one happens for you, that monkey gets off your back.
chances slip
We had our chances tonight, we let it slip away.
earn guys hold numbers
We were going to make them earn it. You're not going to hold guys like that down forever. Look at the numbers they've put up.
anybody bit driving group guys instead job runs score smaller trying work
We've been getting guys on base. We just haven't been driving anybody in. I think, from here on out, you'll see a little bit of a different team, offensively. We're probably going to play even smaller ball. ... Just get the job done and work as a group to score runs -- instead of one guy trying to do it all himself.
bats great guy hat heck mike run swing tip
We didn't swing the bats well today, but I think that had more to do with Mike than anything else. He pitched a heck of a game. Sometimes you run into a guy like that, that has a great day and you tip your hat to him.
ball closer command miss needs pinpoint plate regardless swing throw
To me, your closer needs to be able to throw the ball over the plate regardless of what he is throwing, ... If you don't have pinpoint command you need to have an out pitch, a swing and miss pitch.
good job learn
We're going to have to get better offensively. If we end up with the same lineup as we had this year, we're going to have to get better at what we do. We're going to learn how to manufacture runs, something I don't think we did a real good job of this year.
ball chance games good obviously satisfied team
I don't think we're going to be satisfied with being a .500 ball club. Obviously we're not going to end up 20 or 30 games above, like a good team really would. There's still a chance that we could be in it right up to the end and there's a chance that if we're not, we could play spoiler. We all know we're better than a .500 club.
chances holding team three yankees
Holding a team like the Yankees to three runs, I'll take my chances any day.
coming confidence key matter time
He's getting better every time and he's coming very quickly, ... Confidence is going to be a key thing for him down the road, but that will come as well. It's just a matter of time.
ball four moves pitches plate throw
He moves the ball around the plate a lot and he's very deceptive. He's got four pitches he can throw any place in the count.
