both create moving sides
I don't need to say anything about it. I think both sides are moving forward. You don't want things to create a rift between the two clubs.
ask few given past performance terrific
That was another terrific performance by Derek Lowe . You can't ask any more than what he has given us the past few starts.
both choices days decision few great guys hope next passed position problem summarize
To summarize for you, both guys passed (Saturday). It doesn't make any decision over the next few days any easier. But that's what you hope for. When you're in a position where you have to make choices like this, they're not easy. It's a great problem to have.
both competent either figure guys kids sit smart talking time understand
We have two kids there. Both are very competent kids -- smart enough to understand what we're talking about -- and they will figure it out. We've got to find opportunities for both of them. We'll take it a day at a time and go from there. As I've said all along, with these two guys on the club, I don't want to see either one of them sit for too long a time and not participate. It's advantageous to both of them to do it that way.
ask craig wilson
Very well deserved. What else would you ask Craig Wilson to do?
cannot five level mistakes six
Those first five or six innings, you cannot make mistakes like that on this level and succeed. There's no way. You can't have it.
best bring chance closely players sit situations study talents
I think you bring the best out of your players when you sit and study and look very closely at what their capabilities are and then try to find situations where their talents have the best chance to come out,
great help knows ourselves owe ryan starting
I think everyone knows Ryan has a great arm. I think we owe it to ourselves to find out if he can help us a starting pitcher.
believe continue hope intensity shown
I'd like to hope so. But for that to happen, we've got to continue to come out with the intensity we've shown so far. And I believe we will.
believe catch clubhouse components pitch seen
Pitch the ball, catch it and put it into play, you're going to have to show me that it doesn't work, because I've seen it work. We have the components in this clubhouse to make it work, I really believe that.
ask days group harder night players took
You can't ask a group of players to play any harder than they have for two days and, especially tonight, take the kind of at-bats that we took all night long.
ask overdo point series situation
There wasn't any point in this series where he had to overdo it with our bullpen. You couldn't ask for a better situation going into Colorado.
ask god knees thank
If you have enthusiasm, thank God for it. If you don't have it, get down on your knees and ask God for it.
both exactly great job
I thought they both did a great job (Saturday). They did exactly what you wanted to see and what they would have wanted to do.
