hopefully numbers prove
That's out of his control. Hopefully the other numbers prove to be stronger.
feed guys hopefully last maybe seen sharp slow start
The last two outings were as sharp as we've seen him. Hopefully he's through his little slow start and on the right track. And now maybe other guys feed off what he's doing.
help hopefully sounds
Sounds awesome. He's going to do nothing but help us, and hopefully he'll get back to his old form. Hopefully it'll be like the Shannon Stewart trade.
guys hopefully pick runs slack staff
These guys are doing what they have to do right now to put runs on the board, especially when we as a staff aren't doing as well as we'd like to. We still have to pick up some slack and when we do, hopefully we can pick them up sometimes, too.
baseball best challenge easy forward good hopefully looking opening season start tough
It's going to be a tough opening month. I think most of us are just looking forward to getting the season going and looking forward to the challenge of it. Hopefully we can get off to a good start and play the best baseball right away because it's not going to be an easy stretch.
bit finish hopefully last numbers people persuade strong three top total wins
At least top three. A lot of times wins are out of your control, so all he can do is try to finish off strong with his last three (starts) and get his win total up a little bit and hopefully his other numbers are strong enough to persuade some people to go that route.
appeal center giving hope millions people vision
I think it's the cardinal's vision and the pope's vision that it would be a center that would appeal to a lot of people. The hope was that it wasn't going to be 10 people giving millions each ... but millions each giving $1.
blown huge saves
This is a huge loss. It's one of the more disappointing blown saves for me.
damages ibm product sells technology time uses
Every time IBM sells a product that uses our technology, it damages us. That will come out at the trial,
louder wish
They were loud. Every pitch, every strike, they got louder and louder. I wish it could be like that all season. I wish they'd come back.
balls couple last left plate
I feel great. Right now, it's just location. I've left some balls over the plate the last couple of outings.
battle huge team
That was a huge loss. It's one of the more disappointing losses, especially for our team to battle back like that.
creates fantasy good interest perform
I think fantasy is a good thing, it creates interest. I don't think about it much. It's not like I go out and try to perform for a fantasy team, but I think they are good to create interest and not just in baseball.
ahead since situations strikes sure
My thought was just to try to get ahead on strikes and make sure I'm around the plate. It's been a while since I've been out there, so in those situations you never know how you will react.
