We're getting a look at these guys for next 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).
faced good last rodriguez time
Rodriguez was really good today. The last time we faced him he was just OK.
anybody calling contend labeled last loser louis past playing rather tired trying winning
Playing .500 is the first step. Eventually, we're trying to get to where we can contend with St. Louis for the division. I'd rather have a winning record. We're tired of being labeled a loser for the last 12 years. We want to get past that. We don't want anybody calling us a loser again.
difference last players year
The difference between us last year and us this year was those young players being here getting us over the hump.
ball hit last opposite pierre
It nicked off his glove. With two strikes, we play in on Pierre on the opposite way anyway. About the last thing he will do is hit a ball the opposite way over an outfielder's head.
battling character kept last shows until
It shows the character of our club. We kept battling until the last out.
guess last people
I guess those people haven't been around here the last 12 years,
broke capitalize couple finally innings last nail opportunity year
There were times last year where he would give us an opportunity in the first couple of innings and we wouldn't capitalize and then he would just nail down. We finally broke through.
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.
