Thomson- Duran? His makeup's pretty good. one thing he said was do anything we want him to do. we want him to close.

Thomson- kepler- he did it swinging in the cage. Paul said he couldn't go. stiff and sore worked through it during the game. see where we're at on Friday.

Thomson- set up guys would be strahm and kerkering.

Thomson- Lazar was surprising to me cause he was pitching so well. rojas makes an unbelievable throw again. then soft hit soft hit then you think he's settling in.

Thomson- closer? well he's had that role. really good at it. gets righties and lefties out.

Thomson- we got some pieces now. Robertson coming back.

Thomson- lengthens pen so much.

Dombrowski- he's good enough. he's legitimate. he's a legitimate closer. he gets lefties and righties out.

Dombrowski- the control aspect is huge. and I think we have a chance to win.

Dombrowski- need to be right handed bat? Needs to be? don't wanna say needs to be. .

Dombrowski- did we have a rain delay(laughs)?.

Dombrowski- I really didn't think this one couple days ago. really think having Abel this close to the big leagues made the difference.

Dombrowski- we're not trading him(painter).

Dombrowski- offense upgrade? we're not done. we're not done talking. go up to the deadline. see what happens tomorrow.

Dombrowski- still looking for bullpen help? No. unless someone puts something in our face.

Dombrowski- the diff was the acquisition price. we would not have paid this price for a rental. that made difference- pure rental would not have traded these players for that. both players- Tait is really good prospect and Mick we like a lot.

Dombrowski- dominant closer for a tough price but it's something we think makes sense.

Luzardo- marsh is incredibly talented out there. extremely comfortable with him out there. he's great guy in clubhouse and I'm happy for him to get that hr.

Luzardo- not gonna have your best stuff 32 times a year.

Luzardo- but there were mistakes? Yeah- error at first but overall improvements made.
