We're getting a look at these guys for next year.
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.
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.
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.
decent maybe score start though today
Even though we've been struggling, I think we have a decent lineup. I think we will score some runs. Maybe today is a start for us.
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.
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.

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.
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.
