drove four noticed three walked
I noticed they walked him four times on Sunday. But I also noticed that (Jim) Edmonds drove in three runs.
critical facing four guy hard job key maybe plays sit somebody three tough toughest
He handles everything well, and for a guy who plays maybe once a week, it's tough to do well in a job like that. Pinch-hitting is one of the toughest jobs, you're usually facing somebody tough. It's hard to sit around for three or four days, then try to go up there and get a key at-bat in a critical situation.
saw team three white
I only saw the White Sox play three games. I don't know their team very well,
afford almost strikes three walk
I like what you see there. And he strikes out almost three times as many as he walks, so he can afford to walk somebody, because he's going to strike you out, too.
bat hopefully maybe swinging tender three
I feel like he's swinging the bat well. I don't want to see him out there at the plate, have three at-bats and maybe be a little tender and maybe do something a little different. We'll give him one more day and hopefully he'll be 100 percent.
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.
hitting job ticked
I'm ticked off because we're not hitting well. We're just not getting the job done.
