defined helps
It really helps to have defined roles, and we don't really have that now,
either guys helps makeup situation terms tough
It's a tough situation (for Fernandez), but sometimes you just have to go through it. It was a tough situation for Mike, too, because he pitched well enough to make our team. Either one of those guys could have made the team. It's just that Jared has a little more flexibility in terms of what he can do for us. It helps the makeup of our staff.
help players pro third time younger
He's a professional player, a pro that you want your younger players to emulate. He will see a lot of time for us at third base. He could really help us.
bit ended evident help hit instead putting runners runs score struggled struggling takes team three walks
(Capuano) just struggled all day. He could never get it going. We had too many walks all day. We ended up with nine. When a team has been struggling to score runs a little bit like they have, you can't help them out by putting runners on. Then it only takes one hit instead of three to score a run. That was evident in the first inning.
ben chip everybody guys help pick slack
Everybody has to pick up the slack with Ben out. All the guys have to chip in and help out.
closer help matters needs
He needs an inning badly. It doesn't help matters for any closer to go that long without pitching.
help hurts
That's going to help us as much as it hurts us.
bat bench brady days five four help houston seven
Brady is seven days out and still four or five days away in the best-case scenario. Going into Houston another left-handed bat off the bench will help us.
dominant
He's not just a closer. He's a dominant closer.
eating good habits
It's not easy; it's hard. You've got to get into good eating habits and good conditioning habits early. If you don't, it can get away from you. This is real important for his career.
catching game miller night playing
It's just a day game after a night game. Miller would be catching if we were playing a night game.
enjoying midst monster poor winning
Poor Jenkins, he was distraught yesterday. He was having a monster year. We're having fun; we're in the midst of a 10-game winning streak, and he was enjoying himself.
hyped tough
He was really hyped up. He never got in a groove. He was overthrowing and he couldn't make the adjustment. It's the first day and it's tough on the young kids.
corps kids plan three tread until water
The whole plan three years ago was to tread water until these kids got here. And it's not just those three. It's all the others, too, a whole corps of kids that are coming.
