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).
breathe gave good room runs
It was good to get some runs early, ... It gave Cappy a little room to breathe out there. He pitched another good game.
august careful july pressure run trouble
You can run into trouble in July and August if you're not careful (with the bullpen) now. We have to take some pressure off those guys.
ball board five found hit runs
He just struggled. They didn't hit the ball hard, but they found holes. They put five runs on the board on him quick.
board lay runs seven
That's one thing about the Cardinals, they're not going to lay down and die. Even after we scored seven runs I wasn't comfortable. They can put runs on the board in a hurry.
depends game games hitter lost runs score second seen stage
I'm not going to concede too many runs in this series, ... It depends on who the hitter is, what stage of the game we're at. I've seen a lot of games lost where you're in the first or second inning and you say, 'Eh, let them have that run. We're going to score a bunch.' And you end up losing, 1-0.
both hit home runs
J.J. is going to hit some home runs. He's not a Punch-and-Judy hitter. Both of the home runs he has hit (this week) have been big for us.
benefit glad great runs score
I'm glad we were able to score some runs so he could benefit from his great pitching.
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.
afford runners struggled struggling
Capuano had too many walks. We have been struggling to get runs, and we just can't afford to put runners on base. He just struggled all day long.
opportunity runs score
I told him I didn't want to take him out of the game. I wanted to give him an opportunity to get through the inning so we could score some runs for him and get him his 18th win. I told him to get after him and be aggressive.
looked run
I looked up and we had a run in every inning for awhile,
ball game good plate reflect run score time tying
Any time you get the tying run to the plate (late) in a ball game you've done a pretty good job. But the score really doesn't reflect that.
cracks huge run
One run there is a huge run, ... You give up five, but you still have 27 cracks at a young kid.
