betting double run steal throwing tonight tried
You don't try a double steal very often, but we tried it tonight and it worked. When you run a double steal, you're betting on them throwing through. When they don't, it makes you look awfully foolish.
benefit certainly ready rest run
It was certainly the most nerve-wracking way to go. But we'll benefit in the long run by having him ready for the rest of the month.
guys nasty running sat teeth
the thing sat up and hissed at us, with those nasty teeth showing. We had guys running out of its way.
ball runs score threw
Jarrod threw the ball very, very well. He was outstanding. We just couldn't score runs off the other guy.
runs score
He pitched an outstanding game. We just couldn't score enough runs for him to win.

It's too soon to say A, B, C and D are going to happen. We have different options and different ways to go.

Eddie threw more pitches in that inning than he did all spring training.
chunk took
It took a chunk out of the back of his finger.
difference left pitches turned
Hernandez left two pitches up in the zone, and that turned out to be the difference in the game.
guns people problem rather swinging swung walks wonder
After the walks some people will wonder why Carl swung at the first pitch, but I didn't have a problem with it. We had one of our big guns at the plate. I'd rather have him swinging there.
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.
light second somebody switch turned
He had a 14-pitch first inning and a 38-pitch second inning. It's like somebody turned the light switch off.
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.
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.
