Every year at this time of the season you tip your hat to them. If you ever get people saying that about your organization you are in good shape. |
Every year you show up here, you at least have a fraction of hope. This year there's a lot more substance to go with that hope. They know (the division) is open. It's time to make a statement on the field. |
Every year, there is an air of optimism and a lot of hope attached to it. This year, there is still hope, but there's more substance and not as much hope. |
Everybody that took the mound today was really good. |
Everybody thought it was a stab and something unique. Sunny showed us a little something today, and in a game we needed some length, BK gave it to us. |
Everything will start to come into focus and we will pay more attention to detail. |
For me, where I'm really going with it right now is he's just not pitching well right now. |
For us to win four consecutive road series, especially with this group, speaks a little bit about the effort being put forth and the results. |
Guys that are able to play, we'll get out there and play, and guys that aren't able to play, we'll pray for them and hope they get better. |
has hit the ball harder with more consistency than anyone on this ballclub. Anytime you have Todd Helton on your ballclub, that's something. |
Having a winning record at home or avoiding finishing last weren't motivating factors for us. When you are 27 games under .500, can we really expect to be better at home? |
He [Cook] didn't get rattled after the first inning. He kind of tightened up and was very efficient, with a good mix of pitches. |
He came in and helped Band-Aid things together and put himself in a good position for what might happen later on down the road. He built his confidence up. He pitched a lot better than he did last spring. He hit his spots, threw all his pitches for strikes and got the ball down. |
He can just point to it. |
He continues to stay in the hunt. He keeps hanging around. All our middle infielder guys have about the same amount of at-bats. [Jamey] Carroll, Wilson, [Jason] Smith and [Omar] Quintanilla. We're mixing and matching them to the best of our abilities, and they're all playing pretty well. |
