Keep it going, I love it. The guys were having fun tonight and obviously everyone was making a contribution. That's what you need to do the job on the road and hopefully we can get something special going.
bodies chance gives good guys push ready reason
They know their bodies better than anybody. When they are ready to play they'll tell me. . . . There's no reason to push them. We're going good and this gives some of the other guys a chance to play.
adhere concerned control guys happens people policy
I have no control over what people do. It's unfortunate for them, but we have a drug policy and you have to adhere to that. If guys want to take on that, it's on them. I'm concerned about what happens on the big-league level. We have a policy in place and everyone understands that. That's the law.
division good guys
They're the division champions. Those are the guys we've got to go through to be where we want to be. We feel good going into the series. We want to feel good going out.
applaud coming felt guys responsibility surgery team time
A lot of guys could have said I'll take the surgery and take their time coming back. But he got back out there because he felt a responsibility to this team and I applaud him for that.
case goes guys hope human longer natural seen time
Some guys take a little longer to exhale. It's a natural thing, a human thing. I think that most of the guys I've seen in the league, as time goes on they get more and more comfortable. I hope that's the case with him.
adapt guys hit
Carlos can hit anywhere. He's one of those guys who can adapt to any situation, I believe.
billy bottom came closed great guys job liked line nice picked picking pitchers scratch throw today
The thing I liked about today more than anything was we picked each other up. I really thought the pitchers did a nice job of picking guys up and we had to scratch for some runs, but the bottom line is that Billy came in and closed it on a great throw by Carlos.
boils good guys holes job learned main poke ready stuff team
It boils down to how the guys play for you. That's the most important thing for me. I've done a good job getting my team ready to play every day. That is, as a manager, all you can do. The other stuff you can poke holes in. The main thing is I've learned a lot about the game.
bullpen guys
I told the guys in the bullpen they're going to get used.
barometer base best bit couple emphasis games good guys knocks relax spring training turn whatever
It was good to see him relax a little bit and get going. Obviously, spring training is not the best barometer for how you base these guys but, you know, he was 0-for-20 or whatever and he had a couple knocks so that's why you don't put a lot of emphasis on games like this because you can turn it around in one day.
ahead anytime deep early guys hat pitcher tip
Anytime you go deep on a pitcher in early BP like this, you've got to tip your hat to them, because those guys are way ahead of us.
guys sit
I don't like to have those guys sit too long,
guys rhythm trying
They're trying to find a rhythm and everything, so guys like that, you just let them do their thing.
