angels good hit hurt lapse pitching played sixth team
I thought our pitching was pretty good today. The Angels have a good team but we pitched well, hit pretty well and defensively played well. That one lapse in the sixth inning hurt us, obviously.
good jamie threw
Jamie did a very good job. He threw well enough to win, but so did the other guy.
cart discuss good putting talk
We have options. It wouldn't do any good to discuss them before I talk to Bill. That would be putting the cart before the horse.
good jeremy matt plays swings switch time
Matt has been a good big-league player. We'll make the switch to get him some at-bats ... give Jeremy time to regroup. If Matt swings and plays the way Matt can, it will make things interesting.
good learning rather thankful
You look back and are thankful that he reacted the way he did. It's not good to see him get into trouble, but it's good to see him get out of trouble. I'd rather have less-stressful learning experiences.
bunt choice good great runner second
With no outs and a runner on second, it's a good play. It was his choice to get the runner over like that, and it was his second great bunt in two nights.
ball extremely good pitch threw velocity
His velocity was good from the first pitch on. Joel threw the ball extremely well.
good player stays veteran
He's a veteran player and if he stays healthy, he's a good player.
breaking command fastball good stretched supposed
He was only supposed to go two innings, but the way he threw, we stretched him out to three. He had real good command of his fastball and a real good breaking ball.
couple early good missing threw
He was rushing, he was missing his spots. He threw a couple of good pitches, then he'd get away from it. It's still early in the season.
good last win
He's pitched well every outing. The last two have been exceptionally well pitched. But he's been good every outing. It's good to be able to win one when he's pitched well.
above arm average glad good quick solid
He is as was advertised. He's a good solid catcher, he has a good quick release. He has an average to a little above average arm that's accurate, and he's a very intelligent player. I'm glad he's on our side.
anticipate baseball catch experience good number people players taking time
I don't anticipate it taking him a long time to catch up. Kenji is a good baseball player, number one, and it has been my experience that good players know how to get people out.
anyone certainly defender good hard model plays role tremendous wants
He's a good player. He's a good hitter, a good defender and a good baserunner. He also plays hard all the time. He certainly is a tremendous role model for all our young players, or anyone else who wants to watch.
