field great helped left longer reach saw short somebody swing trying wall
He got out of his game. He got out of what helped to get him off to a great start. I saw a much longer swing in Houston. I saw a very short wall in left field and I saw somebody that was trying to reach it way too often.

Obviously, he helped make us a good baseball team two years ago.
certain given help information order player succeed worked
Colby has worked with him a lot. Oliver is being given information that can help him succeed as a major-league pitcher. Sometimes, the player has to take the information and make certain adjustments in order to be successful.
chance combined contact given great helped hitter last less man none saying sean seasons second strike
I'm not saying things would have necessarily been different if Sean was in the lineup but I think it would have helped to have a hitter who combined to strike out less 100 times over the last two seasons up in the situation. You need to make contact with a man on second and none out, and I think Sean would have given us a great chance of doing that.
base helped hit
A base hit there could have helped you along.
belongs convince helps knows major playing winning
It helps convince (him) that he belongs playing in the major leagues. He's a winning player. He understands situational baseball, he can steal, he knows how to read pitchers.
expect help looking realize settle
I think Oliver Perez has to realize that he has to help settle the waters. I'm not looking for perfection. You don't expect that. Just keep us in the game. Keep us around.

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.

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.

You should not be able to take someone's property for economic development,

Zach Duke did a good job. He had to battle, obviously.
large last mean next obviously sample six size team won year
One-and-7 obviously isn't the way you want to start. But the (Dodgers) team I managed last year started 12-2 and we won 71 games. So it's not a large enough sample size of games. It doesn't mean this is the kind of team we're going to be for the next six months.
