ability believe continue goes single special year
We have the ability to do special stuff, and we have to continue to be more consistent, and that's team-wide. It's not one single person or one single area. We do believe that we'll get better and better as the year goes on.
continued
This was nothing new. He just continued what he's been doing all spring.
battle behind continue either fall far mark race time trying
There are things we're still trying to accomplish. The .500 mark is one of them, and to continue to battle in the wild-card race is one of them. You can't fall too far behind in either one of those at this time of year.
baseball breaking command continue fastball game issue mechanical struggling work
He's really struggling to command the baseball right now. He's struggling to command his fastball and his breaking ball. It's just a little mechanical issue that we'll continue to work on. But he got a little better as the game went on.
brady consistency trying whatever work
I think Brady will work out whatever is going on with him. I'm just trying to get some consistency in our offense.
adequate billy quite
I think Billy can play, quite honestly, every day at second, probably every day at short, every day at third, or every day in the outfield. He could be adequate at all those spots.
levels reason three year
I think we all were (impressed). There's some reason why he has jumped three levels in a year and a half. You could see why today.
excitement next spring training
I think there will be a lot of excitement in spring training next year.
addition afraid great jeff second solid
Jeff Cirillo is a solid player. He's been a great addition to the team. He does everything well. I'm not afraid to put him at second base.
benny bit davis good starter
I think Doug Davis would be a No. 1 starter on a lot of teams. He's every bit a No. 1 starter as Benny is. We feel good about him.
six throw worry
I said, don't worry about it. He's only going to throw about 50 pitches. That's about six innings, and then he'll be done.
defeating fighting fights-and-fighting hard
Our guys, what they're doing is they're fighting real hard to try to get out of it. It's defeating the purpose.
