center chris defensive eight games
We know what kind of defensive center fielder Chris Duffy is. To get him going offensively, it's not going to do us a lot of good, eight games in, to keep going back and forth.
came says schedule
What the schedule says is what you do. I think we came out of it pretty good, all things considered.
catch speed
We're going to speed Duff up and get him some at-bats. We've just got to catch up a little bit.
change landscape perception
With what we have here right now, ... you'll see the landscape change and be better than what the perception is.
hitters pitches
We know he's very capable. He has the pitches to get major-league hitters out.
beginning direction guys seeing themselves
We're seeing some of these guys beginning to escalate themselves in the direction that you want to see them going.
ballpark games hits six three win
First and foremost, you aren't going to win many games in this or any ballpark with one run. We get six hits from three people, and that won't make it at any park.
capitalize diego games happened lose number obviously remaining row san stranger win
Stranger things have happened in this game. But obviously we have to win a number of our remaining games and obviously we need some help. San Diego has to lose some games in a row and we have to capitalize on that.
affect based games last remains seen
It remains to be seen how this will affect us. Based on last night, not at all. But that's one game. We have 37 more games to be played. And it's not just the results, but how we go about it. Do we play with enthusiasm, with intensity, with passion?
anybody chance charge close everybody games handle lock matter putting serious slam teams throw thus type winning
Back in May, when the Padres went something like 22-6, they had a chance to slam the door, throw the lock around the handle and close it off for everybody else. And it didn't happen. So it's not a matter of anybody putting on any type of serious charge thus far, it's a matter of teams just winning some games here and there.
accomplish game light takes
Sometimes it takes one at-bat in one game for the light to go on. You can accomplish a lot by doing what we were doing with Duffy today.
clubhouse full guys
Is Oliver Perez important to us? And Kip Wells? Sure, they are. But we've got a whole clubhouse full of guys that are important to us.
economic property
You should not be able to take someone's property for economic development,
duke good
Zach Duke did a good job. He had to battle, obviously.
