break caught force run second
One run wasn't going to do it, anyway. We caught a break on the force at second and they got one there. It's a wash.
figure game guys pitches takes
I just told him that it's still the same game. You make your pitches you get guys out. You don't and they get you. It's still the same game of baseball. Sometimes it takes a while to figure that out.

He's been in a position to win a couple of them. He left with the lead in Anaheim. He's pitched some good games along the way,
character guys quality says shine strong sun tendency
It says something about the guy, how strong he is. Strong character guys and quality guys, the sun has the tendency to shine on guys like that in the long run.
allowed changed gold hill lose might mind move saw second time
Any time you lose a Gold Glove, that's a hit. But that allowed us to make that trade. We saw Hill play enough second base, and he was good. If we had any doubts, that might have changed our mind about making a move or not.

It's more about the guys on the top of the lineup.
guy might pitch point sees until
There might come a point where he has to pitch with it, I don't know. He'll go see the guy who did the surgery. Hopefully, he'll get some reassurance from him. Until he sees him we won't know.

It's that same area where he had that problem last year. So he only threw a few pitches and shut it down. After you have an injury, it might just be some scar tissue.
few games plays point sharp somebody third
I'll give him a few games at third base, but Troy plays a lot. I think there's a point just to keep him sharp out there because you never know what happens, somebody could go down. But he's a DH.
everybody guy knows logical team
He's the logical guy -- that's the way our team is set up, anyway. He knows that. Everybody knows that.
everybody game question starter tough whether
There's no question he's been through some tough times, but you know what, everybody has a little bit. This whole game comes down to location. Whether you're a starter or a reliever, you have to make a pitch.
bring closer nice sit
It's nice to be able to bring in your closer and sit back and relax.
