bump good numerous point road seems start time wonder
It seems like we've come to this point numerous times this season, where you wonder if you're over the bump in the road and things are going to start to click, ... This would be a good time for it.
baseman defensive early feet good moving quick third today type
He's a good defensive third baseman, and he's quick and he's got good range. Early on this spring, he wasn't moving his feet like he can, but you can see today what type of third baseman he can be.
adept although changing finer good hard hitters hitting keeping keeps knows speeds throwing wants
He keeps getting finer and finer with his stuff. Although he's not throwing as hard as he once did, he's still adept at hitting spots, changing speeds and keeping hitters off-balance. He just knows how to pitch, knows what he wants to do, and he's very good at it.
command good matching velocity
The velocity is matching the command and he's getting good results.
bend early good john last since
John did something that he hasn't done since last year. He would bend but not break. He was good in the early going but it got away from him.
finish good grabbed guy held jam lead needed stuff
I think his stuff was good and he was the guy that we really needed to get out of that jam and finish the inning for us. Unfortunately they grabbed the lead and they held it there.
becoming good last three
He's had better at-bats for the last two or three weeks. He's becoming productive. We need Fin. It's good to see him contribute.
good impressive youngster
That's impressive for a youngster to have that good of at-bat in his first post-season at-bat.
bad benefit competition danger good guy point
That is not necessarily a good thing and not necessarily a bad thing at this point of the season. There is a danger of a guy getting cranked up for a competition that is going to be more intense. But I don't feel there is any benefit for it, no.
fine good locations pitches tough
That's a tough lineup, and you have to make pitches in good locations to get them out. I think he got a little too fine in some counts.
danny deserved far flew hard night played point randy
A big night for him. He deserved it. He played hard here. He flew under the radar, with A-Rod and Griffey and Randy Johnson, but as far as that team's success, if you're going to point to one guy, you're going to point to Danny Wilson.
fortunate hold hours last
These last 48 hours have been a blur. We were fortunate to hold on.
innings kevin main stamina throw
His stamina would be the main thing. We need to see if he can go out and throw 90 pitches. We need him to get us to the point, like any of the starters, to get us to the bullpen. But we have Esteban Yan and we have Kevin Gregg to give us innings if we need.
ballgame came damage exactly help impact indication last moving obvious ominous soon status tests week
There's been no indication that there is any damage in there that would impact him moving forward. But they're going to do some tests and we'll get a better idea this week exactly what his status is. I think as soon as he came out of last night's ballgame it was pretty ominous and pretty obvious that he wasn't going to be able to help us in this series.
