We're doing a lot of little things right. We're getting some breaks, too.
guys next
We're getting a look at these guys for next year.
against best looking minute national past pitchers start three
We're going against three of the best pitchers in the National League, and if you look one minute past today, you're going to be in trouble. If you start looking down the road, you're going to get sideswiped.
chance frame hardest hitting home mind prince special
We're going for the win, and Prince has a better chance of hitting a home run. That's the hardest thing to do in baseball. You have to have a special frame of mind going up there. He's got that special mind-set.
settled
We want to let Rickie get settled in,
consistent looking offense runs score top trying
We're looking for a little more offense at the top of the lineup now. We're trying to find a way to score some runs on a consistent basis.
experience learn lessons means starting
We're starting to get there. They know that by no means we're not there yet. They've got a lot of lessons to learn and there's a lot of experience to be gained, but they like where we're at.
ended work
When they got the big inning in the third, it ended up costing us the game. That's something we'll work on all year.

score situation
We had battled back for him and got him in a situation where the score was tied,
blow good later liked saw strong
When he pitched more aggressively out of the bullpen, something started clicking. Later in the year, he was strong and the more I saw him, the more I liked him. I think he has a lot of up side. I saw him blow away some good hitters.
hit runner scoring spot though
The only way he doesn't go out is if we get to his spot and there's a runner in scoring position, ... Then I probably would have hit for him, even though he was 2 for 2.
evolving happen kids prince talent type
We know we are evolving as a team, and we know these kids are going to get better. Anything can happen when you have the type of talent these kids like Prince have.
turn
We haven't pitched very well. But those things turn around.
