He was just trying to run the fastball inside.
decision felt keeps running
He did his running and felt good, felt better. If he keeps progressing, we'll see where he's at. I know we have to make a decision on that tournament. We'll have to see.
balls further guys runs ton
Some guys get by with a lot of hard-hit balls that are outs, they get a ton of runs scored for them. You look further than just results. You see what they guy's featuring and that will tell you everything.
few game gave guy last runs
In the past, if he gave up a few runs early, sometimes the game would get away from him. But he's been a new guy now for the last few months. He's just getting better and better. He showed that tonight.
afraid common everybody experience gets good great love maybe run time together work
I think that's common knowledge. Maybe not, but it's going to be soon. Great experience -- they love to work and everybody gets along.

The home run he hit, when hits balls to the left side, he's usually out in front and hooking them into the stands, but he kept that one fair. I can't remember the last time I saw him hit a ball like that down the line.
division hold rarely runs score shut slug three tough
There's no secret. When you're in the division with these guys, you've got to slug it out. When you go head-to-head with them, very rarely is there going to be low-scoring games. ... It's tough to shut them down, to hold them to three runs or less. You've got to score with them.

They know we can score some runs so we're not out of games. They're confident that we have some offence. We're solid top to bottom.
