continue hope intensity order played type
I'd like to hope so. But in order for that to happen, we have to continue to come out here every day and play with the same type of intensity that we have played with. And we will get to that point.
belongs build certainly game hope left minor prove terrific
He was terrific tonight. I certainly would hope that this is a game he can build on. He doesn't have anything left to prove in the Minor Leagues. He has to prove that he belongs here, and I think he started to tonight.
catch changed hope lead playing slug
Having the lead changed the way we go about our business. We weren't playing catch up. You can't hope to slug your way back into games.
certainly goes hope hurt spring
I would certainly hope not (intentionally) in spring training. I don't think Curt Schilling goes out there to hurt people.
certainly five hope nights plenty runs
I would certainly hope so. At the major-league level, there has to be a lot of nights where five runs are plenty to win.
decision hope tough
They didn't make the decision any easier. And that's what you hope for. You want to have to make tough choices. This is not easy.
clubs guy hopefully looking opportunity similar somewhat stuff type
I won't say where they are going to start. But he is the type of guy we are looking for to hopefully place in between two left-handers that have somewhat similar stuff and not give opposing clubs an opportunity to see the same type of stuff on consecutive days.
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.

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.
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.
needs spring takes time work
Zach's doing what he needs to do to get his work done. It takes time -- that's all part of spring training.
disruptive fast gets ideal piece player spot top
Duffy is an important piece at the top of our lineup. That's an ideal spot for him. When he gets on first base, he can be a very disruptive player as fast as he is.
