days gives multiple nice pitch stretch
We probably could use another arm. We have a long stretch of days where we don't have any off days. It's nice to have a lefty, and he also can pitch multiple innings. He gives you a lot of options.
chance five games gives guys lock next pitch ready sure themselves
We have 25 games left, and we have to go for it, ... I want to make sure that my next five guys know what they need to do and know that they're going to pitch and they can get themselves ready for the ballgame. This gives them a better chance to just lock in.
assets backup certain early finish gives grind nice played swinging
He's a guy, overall, that gives us more assets in that spot. Miguel played well for us early in the year, and he can always go out there and grind and claw and do certain things. But he did come here to be backup guy. If Kaz can finish up strong, the way he's swinging right now, it would be nice for us.
bodies chance gives good guys push ready reason
They know their bodies better than anybody. When they are ready to play they'll tell me. . . . There's no reason to push them. We're going good and this gives some of the other guys a chance to play.
