bottom exactly haunt man toughest walk
One of the toughest things in the world to try to stave off is when you walk somebody, especially the leadoff man in the bottom of the ninth, and that's exactly what happened. It's tough. It's unfortunate. More times than not, it's going to come back to haunt you, and it did.
great mechanics mind time tough
He had a tough time today, but that happens. You have to keep in mind that he's only 22 years old. He isn't going to be great every time out. I thought his mechanics were off a little bit.
additional creep followed four game runs side three time tough trying
Each time we creep back into the game, it's followed up by additional runs from the other side of the field. When you're trying to get back into a game three or four times a day, that's tough to do.
additional catch continues creep followed four further game runs side three time tough trying
Each and every time we creep back into the game, it's followed up by additional runs by the other side of the field. And when you're trying to play catch up, and it continues to go further and further away from you, you're trying to get back in the game three or four times a game that's tough to do.

I don't know that we'd be asking that same question ... he had a start in Milwaukee that was awfully good. He had a tough time today.
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.
against ball basically breaking club last pitch tough until
I thought he battled. He didn't have his breaking ball until his last two innings. That's a tough club to pitch against with basically just your fastball.
capability good latter score slim starter tough
It's going to be tough to score off us in the latter part of the game. If a starter has the know-how and capability of getting 18 outs with a slim lead, we're in pretty good shape.
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.
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.
