Wow. He's doing a great job of coming through for us, of clutching up. He's playing some great ball. That play in the ninth was huge. He's playing inspiring ball right now.
Lowe was tough on us today. He is coming off some well-pitched games, and we didn't hit that many balls hard early. A sinkerballer gets groundballs, and that's what he has been able to do against us.
He has great instincts and feel for the game. He positions himself so well when the pitch is coming and has great reactions. And he throws as accurately as any third baseman I've seen.
Greenie's coming along faster than we thought. He's feeling pretty good with it, and he's got the OK to do just about everything.
I think it's a very workable situation. It starts with attitude, and Mike's coming in with a great attitude. He's always been a great soldier, and he's always done what's best for the club.
It gives us, I think, probably our best pinch-hitter coming off the bench,
It doesn't happen often, does it? It's something you never think about. It was relentless, and there's some hard stuff coming in. It was getting sloppy out there.
We're covered in the outfield. We're getting tested right off the bat. But you need to be prepared for anything. We have experienced guys coming off the bench.
Ryno's come off a pretty good week. He knocked in some runs. I don't want to let him get rusty after coming off a pretty good week.
It's very close between the two. I wish I had a better reason besides what I just told you. I think Sweeney is our best guy coming off the bench.
I know he's pulling for us. I'd like for him to get it, believe me, especially coming off his last start. I know Adam is very eager to get on the mound and pitch. This would be a first time for him.
