benefit expect feels good gratifying hard hopefully run work
I think he feels good about what he did. When you put in the hard work and see the benefit and the rewards, it's gratifying for him. Hopefully he'll get on that run that we expect him to get on.
chance good hopefully randy
With Randy on the mound, we feel we have a good chance to win. Hopefully we will play better defense.
ball extra foul good life steps swings taking
You'd think you were taking good swings off him, but his ball had a little extra life on it, and you'd foul it off. He steps up on the big stage, and he did it today.
blame good knowing maybe quickly randy stepped surprised threw truth umpire
You can place blame any where you want to. You can maybe say that Randy went a little too far. There's probably some truth to that, but I was surprised that Fieldin threw him out as quickly as he did knowing the kind of umpire that he is. He's a very good umpire. I don't know if Randy stepped over the line. I didn't necessarily think he did.
good home last playing
It's not a deterrent. There's nothing like playing here, like having the last at-bat. But we feel good about ourselves, home or on the road.
good great stuff
He had great stuff but not great location. But his stuff was good enough to overpower that lineup.
curtain randy
I thought Randy went back out there for a curtain call.
ball flash formula guys hopefully order pitcher six starting strike success throw trust
Our formula for success is having the starting pitcher get the ball to Flash and Mo. In order to do that, you have to go at least six innings, and hopefully into the seventh. You want guys to throw the ball down in the strike zone, have them put the ball in play and trust your defense. It's challenging.
access increase online public service state tremendous
I think it's a tremendous service, particularly the online access to minutes. I think it's a tremendous increase in the public access to state agencies.
bullpen catch forward hopefully life next runners saying situation spring takes today until
You can catch him in the bullpen all you want, but until you get into a live situation with runners on base, it takes on a life of its own. It's one of those things we've been saying all spring -- the more you get back there, hopefully the more comfortable you'll be. Today didn't go the way I wanted it to. I look forward to the next one.
call miss pitch prepare throws
With every pitcher, if you call a pitch you know where he's going to miss if it's not right so you prepare for it. With Wake, I don't think you have that luxury. If he throws a knuckleball, you just don't know where it's going to go.
ball looking running saw seen straight year
We saw a lot more strikeouts looking inside, which we haven't seen all year from Randy. He was able to keep that ball in there, keep it straight in there where it's not running back over the plate.
guys high striking
We were striking guys out with the high fastball,
lost stretch
To be up, 3-0, and not be able to stretch it out, ... that's probably where we lost it.
