good hit player power run
I think he's going to hit for some power and be a run producer. He's got a good swing. ... He should be a good big-league player before it's all said and done.
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.
guy hitting home run tough
Look, if the guy is going to keep hitting a home run a day it would be tough to keep him out of there.
certain five last nice night pitching playing runs teams
When you're playing certain teams in the league, you know you've got to score. We scored five last night and then five in one inning tonight. You know you have to do that, and the pitching did a nice job. But, yeah, the add-on runs are key.
full running speed
He's getting there with his running but he's not at full speed yet.
fastball run trying
He was just trying to run the fastball inside.
behind bit intimidate run stronger
He makes us that much stronger behind the plate. He can intimidate you a little bit with his arm. You can't just run at will when you're in that opposing dugout.
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.
bothering push ready run
He just can't run on it right now. I mean, he can, but it's bothering him. He's doing everything but running. ... We don't want to push it too far, too fast. But he's ready to go.
breathing runs
We scored some runs to give him a little breathing room. He pitched good. He got out of some big jams.
gotten liked lost run since support tight
Since he's come back, I've liked everything we've gotten out of him. Sometimes, he hasn't gotten any run support -- he's lost some tight ballgames. His won-loss record, I think, is misleading.

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.
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.
