(Daigle) understood where he's come from at the beginning of spring to where he is right now. He passed a lot of guys by. |
(Dustin) threw reasonably well, but his curve wasn't as good as it could be at times. |
(Green) said he's got another mouth to feed. He was on a salary drive. |
(He) has something to prove, and it's already evident that he's been working hard, throwing a lot of bullpen sessions. |
(Terrero) played a nice game yesterday. Unfortunately, he gets the highlight because of what happened. That wasn't what won or lost the game for us. One of the reasons we were in a position where we were at that time was because of Luis Terrero. |
(Vargas) threw the ball well. Velocity was good and he pounded the bottom part of the zone, which we've been stressing to him. |
(Webb) struggled a little bit early, but he made some adjustments. That's what happens when you get a little older and wiser. He got better as the game went along. |
A guy like him, with his age . . . I said early on in camp that some things like this could happen with him. We just didn't want him to go back out there. We wanted him to get some treatment. |
A lot of times, it's one or two at-bats that swing the game one way or the other, and that was certainly the case. |
A win is a win. That's the way we look at it. It's not like we haven't been through a few dicey last innings before. |
Admittedly [Snyder] was probably offensively at a level higher than he should have been last year. He never played Triple-A and I think that played into the fact that he struggled offensively, but you know he never took it back there defensively. |
After the worst three innings of baseball I've ever seen, I think, at the big league level, I mean that was just awful. But to our credit we didn't die. We came back, we had a lead, had our closer in the game. Can't ask for much more than that. |
After [Tuesday], and the way our bullpen has been beat up, we needed an outing that got us a little deeper in games. It's tough to run [Ortiz] out there and not go to somebody sooner, but we have to be ready for the next game, too. |
All the way around, he's done a nice job on both ends. |
An infectious spirit. It rubs off on everybody. |
