count early good guys looked missing pitches sure thinking
He looked like he had pretty good movement. I don't know if they were sliders or cutters away from right-handed hitters. I'm sure when we're making outs early in the count like that, our guys are thinking they're getting good pitches to hit, and they were just missing them.
crucial nobody talks
LaRue's play is one that nobody talks about. That was the big play in a crucial part of the game.
baseball bay everybody good knows outfield playing seattle tampa top
I think everybody in baseball knows he's a good player. Playing in Tampa Bay like he did and then going to Seattle ... when you play in the same outfield with Ichiro (Suzuki), you're not going to be top dog, that's for sure.
chance gave win
We pitched well. It gave us a chance to win some games.
deserve good innings win wrong
We did so many things wrong that we didn't deserve to win that game. I don't even know how we were in it. But you're going to have innings like that. They've got some good hitters.
ballpark drive ended trying
He was just trying to drive it to the big part of the ballpark and get one, and he ended up getting all three.
close percent
He'll be able to pinch-run and play the outfield. I don't think he's close to being 100 percent with the bat.
ballgame hits homer huge time
We got some big hits from Dunn and Griffey. Griff's big three-run homer was huge for us at the time of the ballgame ... I like the way we played.
careless couple errors giving guys help pitching routine throwing tried
There have been a couple of errors where guys have tried to do too much. We've had some errors that are just careless throwing errors. We can not make careless errors. You're going to have enough errors without just giving away bases. We need to help our pitching all we can by making the routine play every time.
early free hitter might randy
There have been times we haven't used Randy Keisler because he's our long guy. This might free up Keisler for a hitter or two early in the game.
austin depends maybe might pitchers rich
Maybe Austin Kearns, Rich Aurilia, I don't know, maybe Felipe Lopez, too, might get some rest. Depends on what pitchers we face, too.
job milton
Milton did an outstanding job for us. We had the one big inning when we capitalized on their wildness.
catch
No one in the world I thought would catch that ball.
healthy slow sure
Right now, we'll just really go slow with him, make sure he's healthy and don't overuse him.
