We're going to have to put a chalk mark up on that wall. Because that's the last place he was seen. Remarkable. Three plays about identical. He kept us in it. |
We're going to see a lot more of him. |
We're going to see a lot more of him. He's got some thunder, he's going to be able to do some things. |
We're grinding these games out, playing nine innings. |

We're gritty right now, which is important. [All] six runs we scored were with two outs, which is very important. If you expect to win and go places, you have to have a lot of two-out hits. |
We're gritty right now. We're grinding through games an inning at a time. |
We're having good at-bats, taking the walks and getting the good pitches to hit. It's only eight games in, but this is what we're capable of doing. |
We're hoping he's healthy. That's No.1, first and foremost. All the reports that we've had is that he's been on a regular routine throwing ? not throwing off the mound, but everything seems to be good. He's a big horse for us. When he was a free agent last year he was at the top of my list. We were fortunate enough to be able to sign him. He just never was right. Mel can tell you, from spring training on he just didn't feel right. It was just something that nagged him all year. Finally we shut him down. Hopefully that stuff is behind him. |
We're in a pennant race, but the mentality is more of a postseason situation where every game is important enough to win right now, ... We can't be thinking long term. |

We're in a situation now where we can't think about just treading water (in the standings). We need to be thinking in terms of making an impact. |
We're in a situation now where we were four back going in, so we can't think in terms of holding our own, |
We're in a situation now where we were four back going in, so we can't think in terms of holding our own. We have to make an impact, and the only way to do that is to go out and win the first game. Hopefully we can do the same thing [Saturday]. |
