guys next
We're getting a look at these guys for next year.
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.
business care prince takes win worked
It was a big win right there. Prince takes care of business like that. It worked out just great.
great intent player spring winning
I put him up there with the intent of him winning the game. You know, he's had such a great spring for us, he's such a veteran-type player who really is comfortable in those situations.
hoping nine sitting win wins
It was a win for Davis. We were hoping it'd be for Doug Davis, as well as Doug's pitched. Doug's been sitting on nine wins for a long time.
ability fit pass pick quite talent win
He'll fit in quite nicely. You can't win without talent and we couldn't pass up the ability to pick up someone with talent and experience, too.
beat game good hard mistakes phase sit talent wait win
Not only are they so good talent-wise, they're so good in every phase of the game. You come in here and play them, you know they're not going to beat themselves. They're going to play the game hard and they're going to play the game right. If you sit back and wait for them to make mistakes so you can win a game, you're going to be in trouble.
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.
class league national needed win yesterday
That's the class of the league over there, the class of the National League for 14 years. And we did everything we needed to do to win this game, and yesterday and the day before.
ability anybody call guys home losers straight winter
I told our guys it's very important for us to go home this winter and not give anybody the ability to call us losers again. They've been called that for 12 straight years.
great huge timely win
It's a great feeling, ... A lot of timely hits. It's a huge win for us.
ball bat catch field guys pitchers reason swing throw win
There's a reason why guys win 300 games. They can field their position, they can swing the bat and they can throw strikes. That's a big part of his game. There's not a lot of pitchers that catch that ball. That ball was smashed. That was a big play.
hitter lately noticed seventh sit throughout winning
He's going to be a 3, 4, 5 hitter throughout his career. He's not going to sit in the seventh spot. And I don't know if you've noticed lately but we haven't been winning too many games, so something's broke.
dominant
He's not just a closer. He's a dominant closer.
