I didn't want to take him out of this game,
feet felt good kane pitch preserve trying
I didn't want to get (Wise) in with everything on the line. I wanted him to be able to get his feet back on the ground. I felt good with Kane Davis, ... We're doing everything we can to preserve a one-run lead. We're just trying to get to Turnbow. We were one pitch away.
again against behind billy bottom caliber carpenter fall four good guy hall help hits innings runs score timely tying
To fall behind 2-0 and then come back and score two runs and then again to fall back by four runs, making it 6-2, and tying it up in the bottom of that innings against the guy the caliber of Carpenter is a good feeling. We had a lot of timely hits. Overbay and Billy Hall had big nights. Even Cappy had two big hits to help his cause.
bad came good pitcher
He's a good pitcher having a bad year. And the good pitcher in him came out tonight.
great versatile veteran
He's a solid, veteran leader. He's got great fundamentals. He's a very versatile guy, and he's got a great attitude.
against good pitches time
He's always been good against us. Every time he pitches against us, he pitches tough.
bit guys knows league
He's got more guys around him now that can do the job. He's more comfortable. He knows the league a little bit better; he knows the guys around him are a little bit better, too.
good great since steady
He's been steady ever since we started. He was good the first day we went out, and he's been good ever since. Great addition.
chances
He wanted to go back out. We didn't want to take any chances with him.
bad jason pitch
(He) didn't even really make a bad pitch to Jason Bay.
dull felt good pain pull scar strange tissue
He didn't pull anything. It just felt strange to him. It was not a knifelike pain, just a dull ache. He has some scar tissue back there, and it could be he popped some of that, which would be a good thing.
early ended hit home last runs usual year
He didn't hit a lot of home runs early last year (four through May), either, and he still ended up with his usual 25 to 30 (25).
credit good
He didn't have his good stuff. I give him credit because he was out there competing, but he just wasn't sharp.
hitters talking third trouble
He didn't have any trouble getting the first two hitters out. We're talking about a third of an inning that killed us.
