blowing shot wind
That was a big hit. I don't ever think we're out of the game, but that put us just one shot away, especially with the way the wind was blowing out there tonight.
chuckle face league major managerial pitcher sending
I thanked him for sending a top-notch major league pitcher to face us in my managerial debut. He got a chuckle out of that.
pitches strikes throw whenever
He could throw two pitches for strikes pretty much whenever he wanted. When you can do that, you'll be pretty effective.
settled
Acosta did an outstanding job. After the first hitter, he settled down.
battling good happen seem
There were some good things out there. Unfortunately, when you're battling through what we've been battling, things like that seem to happen to you.
ability anyone aspects energy flair focusing good hit saw seen spring
He has had some good at-bats and has had a flair for the big hit here recently. We saw that from him in spring training. Anyone who has seen him play realizes he has a lot of energy. He's working on focusing that energy into the important aspects of his game. He has an ability that you don't see every day.
embrace hope learn nice
I still look at him as a player, so it was nice to see what he's been able to come in here and do. My hope is that our regulars here will watch, embrace and learn everything they can from him while he's here.
definitely dugout guys minor relief
There was definitely a sense of minor relief in the dugout tonight. They've been pressing a little bit. ... We had the one big inning (a four-run sixth), and it's contagious. Guys started hitting.
pitchers program proud starters tight
Our pitchers have pitched well from our starters to our bullpen. We have a tight pitch-count program here and every one of the pitchers has pitched well. I am proud of them.
advantage anyway boost course few good guys hits mentally nice relaxed spread tonight
It would be nice to get a few more hits spread out over the course of the game, but we'll take them anyway we can. We had some opportunities tonight and it was good to see us take advantage of them. The guys battled their tails off tonight. It should be a big boost for these guys mentally to get them relaxed and get them on a roll.
ahead future good looks
He was impressive. Even when Blanco got that hit, he still managed to keep us in check. I don't know much about him, but from the looks of it, he has a good future ahead of him.
continue excited forget good guys happy journey needed start won
I got that first one out of the way. I am just happy that we won a game. I'll never forget it. But I am more excited for my guys. It's a lot better for them than it is for me. These guys needed to get off to a good start and continue their journey to the big leagues.
bat glaring guys obviously season start swing worried
I am not worried about our hitting. We're going to be fine. We've got some guys that swing the bat up and down the lineup. It's just one of those things where we really haven't got going yet. We have had some opportunities, but just haven't come through yet but that's just part of the game. It's obviously a little more glaring when you start the season that way.
good last ourselves position putting win
We've done a lot of good things the last two nights. We're putting ourselves in position to win games.
