arguing balls guess
I guess he thought I was arguing balls and strikes.
banking guys top
Baseball's a gamble. We went for the top two guys out there. We're banking on them. And they're banking on us.
innings
He's going to have to get some innings in.
months
We were raving about him two months ago.
fastball gets great roll towers
Towers and McClung pitched great, ... (Towers) has been on a roll and (McClung) can overpower you with his fastball and when he gets his curveball over he's tough. He has a great arm.

good offence shape
We're in good shape because our offence has been very good at this point.
call days fort hold job win year
We're going to need them. There are going to be days in the year we are going to have to call on them to do the job and hold the fort so we can try to win a game. They did that today.
bat hoping spark
We're hoping he can give us a little spark with his bat when Gregg Zaun doesn't play. He's part of the future.
difference offence start
What a difference offence makes. That didn't start out too well, down 4-0. If we didn't have offence, we don't come back in that game.
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.
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.
games knew lost situation toll
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.
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.
