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.
explain run start wants
That's pretty good. He can start another five-year run if he wants to. That's pretty incredible. I don't know how to explain that.
aggressive ahead door faces gotten helped offense pitching slammed start
I think it helped that our offense was aggressive from the start and our pitching has just slammed the door in their faces when we've gotten ahead in this series.
answer becomes everybody gorilla innings nice question room scoring start talk team tries
There's no question that 600-pound gorilla was in the room that no one wanted to talk about. If you keep going innings without scoring runs, everybody tries to do too much in one at-bat, and that's when you start to get into trouble. That's when it becomes a team slump. It was nice to answer in the first inning.
expect extra guy options start
He'll be an extra guy that can pinch-run. I wouldn't expect him to start right now. In September, you like to have as many options as you can.
ended good great grew hurry kids last matter playing starting stepped team truth year
There were a whole lot of things last year that made me nervous. Starting off last season, I did not think we had a good enough team to get to the playoffs, and the truth of the matter is the kids all stepped up and grew up in a hurry and we ended up playing great ball.
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.
definitely starting
not said definitely one way or another that he is starting or not starting.
ok starts worry
The whole thing is OK. It's OK with the team. We don't have to worry about what he does in between starts because we know he does his work. It's evidenced by the way he pitches.
everybody gorilla innings nobody room scoring sitting starts talk trying wants
It's like that 600-pound gorilla sitting in the room that nobody wants to talk about. If you keep going too many innings without scoring runs, everybody starts trying to do too much in one bat. And that's when you get in trouble.
series start tennessee
Getting this World Series start is probably going to go a long way in getting him over the Tennessee loss.
bat confidence help lamb lift longer morgan plus power quite saying seen starting step stretch swing time
I've been saying for quite some time now that Lamb is going to have to be a big plus for us down this stretch drive, and he is starting to swing the bat like we've seen in the past. It was a big lift tonight. We don't know how much longer Morgan is going to be out, but if he (Lamb) can step up and swing with power like we know he can, I think that will help everybody's confidence a little bit.
explain fine good kinds nice run start wants
That's pretty good. He can start another five-year run if he wants to, and that would be fine with me. That's a nice streak. It's pretty incredible. I don't know how to explain those kinds of things, but that's a pretty good streak.
pick scientific
Pick 'em out of a hat. We just need somebody. Nothing scientific in the formula.
