applaud ball beats bunch great guy hanging next pitches takes tough
That was a great at-bat. You never know if that has anything to do with the next guy, but when a guy makes a bunch of pitches on you, and he nubs the ball to shortstop and he beats it out, I think it takes something out of you. You've got to applaud Willy for hanging tough in that at-bat.
bruise guess half knee next ok percent somewhat sort
I guess I could say the bruise is sort of diffused somewhat so he doesn't have a half sized watermelon on his knee now. I feel 100 percent that he will be OK to make his next start.
bruise calf inner knee next ok size spread
The bruise is diffused somewhat, so he doesn't have a big (welt) the size of a watermelon on his knee now. It's spread up his calf and inner thigh a little bit. He's sore, but he's just fine. I feel 100% that he will be OK to make his next start.
next spoke time tomorrow whatever
I spoke with (Everett) and things are going well. I told him to take whatever time he needs. And that could be tomorrow or the next day or the next.
ball brad hit knows mistake next walking
The mistake we make is walking Edmonds. You have to let Edmonds hit the ball in the next count. You can't walk him, and Brad knows that.
next time whatever
I told him to take whatever time he needed, to come back when he's ready, ... That may be tomorrow, that may be the next day or the next day after that.
pick scientific
Pick 'em out of a hat. We just need somebody. Nothing scientific in the formula.
stuck top
No, ... He snow-coned it. Stuck to the top of his glove.
balls complete guy pitches throws
The guy throws 95 pitches and pitches a complete ballgame, so we didn't put too many balls in play.
remembered series win
If you can get into the World Series and win the World Series in Houston, you can be remembered forever.
electric people wound
I just think it would be electric for the city. People are just so wound up.
fortunate works
He's puffed up pretty good. I think he'll be able to play on Friday. We're fortunate to have the off-day tomorrow. That works well.
coming games good job ours runs somehow time trait typical
It's just something that's been a trait of ours all year, but we managed to win. It's like some of our typical games and somehow we managed to get through it. We didn't eke one out this time and that's unfortunate because we had been doing a pretty good job of coming up with runs somehow.
factor
I think it was a factor for Andy. It started to swell up, ... Unbelievable.
