face good guy hopefully kenny likes lost needs ready rogers sat start step
Kenny Rogers is not the guy he likes to face very often, so we sat him out. But he was ready to play. We've lost a lot of people, and Jacque is one guy who needs to step up.... Hopefully that's a good start for him to get on a roll.
earlier guys perfect pitchers pitching sat science staff year
It wasn't a perfect science earlier in the year with our pitching staff and Joe. There were issues. We sat down with the pitchers and we sat down with the catchers about how different guys like to pitch. That was something he had to learn.
choked nice
That one kind of choked me up. I thought that was a pretty nice thing by big Buck.
arguing ball catch great job looked pitcher pitchers start turned wood
Their pitcher was aware. Wood did a great job there. Most pitchers would catch the ball and start arguing with the umpire. He was very aware. He turned around looked home. He did a great job on that play.

It's a boring kind of thing, really. I think common sense pretty much tells you where it is.

I can't see Rad not wanting to go out there.
terry throw
Terry doesn't throw out 'very good' very often.
face help learn people serious understand wants
This is serious, very serious, and a lot of people are going to learn from this. We're going to help him get through this thing and make him understand how serious this is. He wants to face the penalty, and that's the right thing to do.
classy help presence ready takes whatever
A presence like his can only help. He's a pretty classy man. He told me he's ready to do whatever it takes to help. If I need him to help some young kids, he'll do that.

Our hearts and our prayers are all with Puck. We know its a tough situation out there.

He can do those things. That's what we envisioned when he got him over here.

Disappointing ballgame for us, ... I really don't know what to say about it, to tell you the truth.
