Chavez has to hit there after we use [Michael] Tucker and Howard, ... Lidge throws one of those 90 mile per hour sliders that eats right-handers up. We thought that Chavez could put the ball in play. All we needed was a base hit, and we win the ballgame. We didn't need a home run |
David's back is fine. It's better than it's been. He's got a sore quad. I'm looking to see where it's at and how much it's hurting him. I want to see him run good. |
Even more impressive was, when he got in trouble, he pitched better, |
Every day when I've talked to you guys, I've said we've got to play better and we've got to outplay the other team. And I feel like, yeah, we've played teams we can beat. Some of them we didn't beat. We've got to improve. And if we don't, it's going to be too late. |

Forty-two years with the Cleveland Indians, and I'm going to steal you away. |
From what we saw from the dugout, the fan kind of leaned over, |
Gavin had a rough outing. I'm concerned about him. At the same time, he's young, he needs experience. If we want him to develop, we keep sending him out there. |
