people
I don't know if that many people care.
example hits perfect pitcher threw
He threw a lot of fastballs and just put them right where he wanted them. It's a perfect example of when a pitcher hits his spots, he's going to be successful.
base good pitches via
I don't think they want me on base via a walk. I'm getting some pretty good pitches to hit.
knows reason winner
He's not a 300-game winner for no reason. He knows how to make adjustments.
corner fastball night outside
It's all about location. He located his fastball on the outside corner all night long.
gets rid
It's not only his arm. It's his release. He gets rid of it so quickly.
either good lost people
Sobering, but, in a way, uplifting. The people I encountered were in pretty good spirits. They either lost everything or don't know what they're going back to.
good
That's as good as you're going to see, ... other than Mariano Rivera.
cause field problems socialize
Around the field he was all business. He didn't really socialize or go out with us that often, but he didn't cause problems around the clubhouse, either.
explain seems
You can't explain it. It just seems to happen.
baseball fresh good ideas style
I think someone young with fresh ideas and a different style of baseball will be good for the team. Hopefully, it will be a good fit.
classified collection guys takes time together
It's disappointing and frustrating. Any time you get a collection of guys like this together and know you have what it takes to make the postseason and you don't, it's classified as a disappointment.
business care front hope scoreboard somebody taken teams watch
We had it in our grasp. We could have taken care of business ourselves. We have two teams in front of us, so now we have to scoreboard watch and hope somebody else does it for us.
anybody believes everybody improved last months picked surprise talent team year
I think everybody believes that we have the kind of talent that can really surprise some people. I don't think anybody picked this team to be in first place last year for two months of the season. I think we're improved from there.
