Every now and then, when pressed for an answer, or a silly question, I will freeze up and say something utterly ridiculous. For instance, Brad Mills:
When asked why Bourn got the day off in Colorado's massive center field, and Michaels got the start, Mills responded:
“We're trying to get Jason some at-bats, and it's hard with our outfield. Any time you have a Gold Glove guy like Michael Bourn in center field, you want to keep him there and he wants to play. But there comes a time when you really need to get your bench players some time so they can give you something off the bench.”
Note: I follow him. But the phrasing...
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
