carry deep enjoy good great ridiculous roll spot start
It's ridiculous to say that we don't enjoy it. It's a great start for us. With young clubs, you get off to a good start and you can carry this roll deep into the season. It's a good spot to be in.
season start tough
It's tough when you start the season with the workload that he had.
aiming next start
There really are no set plans. We're aiming for him to make his next start and see where that goes.
along ben piece sheets starting three
He's been an important piece to our starting rotation, along with Ben Sheets and Doug Davis. They've really solidified the first three starting spots.
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.
benny bit davis good starter
I think Doug Davis would be a No. 1 starter on a lot of teams. He's every bit a No. 1 starter as Benny is. We feel good about him.
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.
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.
balls felt location parts
He just never really got it going tonight. He felt good, he felt all right. At times he popped it at 93 and most parts he got it around 90. He had a lot of balls up (and) his location just wasn't very good.
