face mouth simply sweating
He didn't go to his mouth on the mound. He was simply sweating profusely on his face and was wiping it away.
expected slow starter time
He did OK, probably a little better than I expected for his first time out. He's a notoriously slow starter anyway, so I thought he was OK, pretty good.
enjoys fine move office perfectly political running time
I don't think he's going to be running for political office any time soon. He just enjoys pitching. If he could just move all this into his hometown, I think he'd be perfectly fine with that.
appeared ball behind good throwing
It appeared to be long innings, and we appeared to be getting behind guys. But they were throwing the ball in pretty good location.
advice bit decided push rest taken year
He could have taken the rest of the year just to rehab, which is probably a lot of the advice that he had received. He decided that he was going to push it a little bit and try to come back this year, just in case.
impressed players several
He's pitched well. I'm impressed with several of their young players ... him in particular.
soon
I'd just as soon us do what we do,
soon watch
I'd just as soon not watch them any more, they look pretty good.
bats took
He just took our bats and shoved them up our bat racks.
putting situation
I'll say something to them, ... by putting them right back into the same situation come Tuesday.
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.
baggy excited happy utilize
I am excited to no end that Bagwell is with us now, ... We'll be able to utilize Baggy and I'm happy for him.
balls breaking dominant seen strike
He didn't look as dominant as I've seen him in the past. He didn't use a lot of breaking balls or off-speed stuff, he just used his fastball. But we didn't strike it.
glad lose sort
It's unfortunate someone had to lose this game. I'm sort of glad we won.
