alex best guys hope looking plenty seen stunt
Alex made some adjustments to his stance. I just see him better than I've ever seen him. He's more aggressive. He's not getting overpowered at the plate. I see him as one of those guys getting better and better. This is going to make it tougher, because he's not out there every day. You hope it doesn't stunt his growth. Right now you're looking at it as what's best for the team. He'll get plenty of action.
coming good knew
Coming in we knew we had a good one,
anytime count couple forces goes guys last man odd won
Anytime he goes out there, you know you can count on him. You look at the last couple years here, and he's always won for us. But he's always been the odd man out, too. He just forces his way in there, comes out and wins. There's something to be said for guys that are winners.
count couple forces goes knows last man odd time won
Any time he goes out there, you know you can count on him, ... If you look at the last couple of years, he's always won for us but he's been kind of the odd man out, but he forces his way in there and knows how to win.

Any time he goes out there, you can count on him. At times he's been the odd man out but he's as good a competitor as there is.

As good as the team has played he feels if he's around we're that much better. That frustrates him, he's the leader of the pitching staff.

They need to see me around. I like to lock in on those guys sometimes. I like to put a name with a face and see what they can do. They're trying to impress me and trying to impress everybody.

We want to hang in there and see what develops. We want to finish well and say we had a good year. You play until you're eliminated.

We are hoping it's not. Even if it's not something serious, it's going to set him back a little bit anyways.

We knew when we lost those two there was going to be some games like this and it was going to take its toll on our bullpen. That's just the situation we're in.
almost expect guys hoping knew list needed targeted wish
We knew what we needed to do to improve. We targeted some guys and we were hoping to get one or two of them. You never expect to get your whole wish list and we almost did that.
change couple course few guys looking starts until
We like a couple guys down there in Triple-A that can come up and do that job. We're not looking at it as a one-time deal. Of course if the guy comes up and struggles, we may change that. But we want the guy to make a few starts until A.J. is ready.
aggressive baseball good guys playing run team
We know what these guys are doing. They're a very aggressive team and they're playing really good baseball right now. That's the way they play. They've got some guys that can run the bases. ... Let's just keep the guys off the bases. Then they can't steal.
ahead along comparison few game good guys otherwise storm year
Very few guys come along like that, once every 20, 30 years, guys who take the game by storm right out of the gates. Hernandez is just way ahead of most 19 year olds, that's the difference. Otherwise these guys don't get here that fast. Same thing with Gooden. I don't know about that comparison yet, but he'd be pretty good if he is.
