guys next
We're getting a look at these guys for next year.
exactly fill reason saving situations throw
This is exactly why he's here. He can fill that role. And the reason we don't use him (more) is we're just not going to throw him out there. We're saving him for situations like that.
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.
division fight good louis next sit
I'm not going to sit here and say we're going to fight for the wild-card next year. As good as St. Louis is, that's something we want. We want to fight for the division championship.
maximize trying work
I was just trying to maximize our matchups, ... It didn't work out.
hitter shows
That shows the kind of hitter he is.
expanding good strike
He had very good stuff. He had an outstanding (split-finger fastball). He's working one expanding (his strike zone) a little bit.
meat serious
It's nothing serious but it got him right in the meat part of his hand. It's just a little sore.
deceiving looks
Looks are deceiving at times. Sometimes, they're not.
hitters talking third trouble
He didn't have any trouble getting the first two hitters out. We're talking about a third of an inning that killed us.
evaluate fine miss slight strain
He's got a slight strain of the right lat, not his shoulder, not his elbow. We'll evaluate him tomorrow, but we don't even know if he's going to miss a start. We think he's going to be just fine and dandy.
easily errors number throwing
He's growing, he's learning, he's trying. He's going to make mistakes. His fielding is improving. You look at the number of errors he has made and how many of them have been throwing errors? Those things are easily fixed.
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.
bothered grew himself match others
He grew up in this atmosphere. So the expectations others had for him have never bothered him because they can't match those that he's had for himself for a long time.
