absolutely control dominated large saw stepped tonight took
What you saw tonight is not unusual, ... Boy, he stepped up large for us tonight and just took control of the ballgame. He just absolutely dominated the game.
saw somehow typical
What you saw is some of our typical games. And we managed to somehow get through it and we just didn't eke it out this time.
expecting guys pitching pressure
What you're expecting from those guys is always pitching in pressure situations,
against games good milwaukee three took worries
What worries me is that we've had three games that are stinkers. We didn't look good against Milwaukee and we didn't look good tonight. They pretty much took it to us tonight.
games three worries
What worries me is that we've had three games that are pretty much stinkers right here lately,
bullpen help suspect though
Having Marquis in the bullpen is probably going to help a little bit. Even though some probably are going to say their bullpen is a little suspect right now, I don't look at it that way.
bat bit chris lamb swinging
He's a bit disappointed, and justifiably so. Chris is swinging the bat well and I wanted to get (Mike) Lamb in the game. He's swinging the bat well, too.
absolutely blows goes months six start
He's absolutely fantastic, and he'll be fine. If he goes six months and blows 40% of his saves, I'd start to get worried.
good hitter hitting mistake
He's a good hitter and he's hot. You make a mistake and he's hitting it. We made a mistake, and he hit it.
He's a little better, but he's not able to play today.
fine great hear himself job naturally pitchers rocket roy winner wonderful
He's a second-time 20-game winner and you don't hear much about it. Roy himself is not a self-promoter. He's very laid-back. He's very comfortable being in the back room. You have great personalities like the Rocket (Roger Clemens) and (Andy) Pettitte, who have done some wonderful things, so I think (the attention) naturally gravitates in their direction. But Roy has done a fine job for us and he's going to go down as one of the great pitchers in this decade.
happened hear roy somebody winner
He's a second-time, 20-game winner and you don't hear much about it. If it happened with somebody else, it would be all over the place, but Roy is not a self-promoter.
consider grinding
I also like the idea of having Bagwell in there, too. . . . There will be a lot of that grinding going on to consider what it's going to be.
mound needs wants
He wants to and I want him to, ... I think he'd just like to know where he stands. He needs to be on the mound to see where he is.
