ball granted took
took for granted that the ball went out and he tossed it into the stands. He thought it was out. That's why he did what he did.
balls batting bullpen gives practice sure track
We just wanted to make sure we get our bullpen back in order. It gives him (Cameron) a day to track down balls and take batting practice and he's going to go tomorrow.
approach granted greatest hitters hopefully mean past pitches quality swinging treat
We're going to approach him the way we always have and just take for granted that he's going to be swinging the way he usually swings. I mean this guy's one of the greatest hitters of all time, so we're not going to treat him any differently. We'll try to approach him the same way we have in the past and that's to make quality pitches and hopefully not make a mistake.
approach greatest hitters pitches playing quality
We're going to approach him like we always have, as if he's been playing all season. This guy's one of the greatest hitters of all time. You want to make quality pitches and not make mistakes.
approach batting playing problem watching
We're going to approach him like he's been playing all year. Watching batting practice, it doesn't look like he's had any problem getting ready.
accustomed ahead aware base fully schedule shape spring start sure touched training
I've touched base with him just to make sure he is ahead of schedule at this point. He's fully aware of how important it is for him to be in a little better shape to start out spring training than what he's probably accustomed to.
figure hard quite seen
I've never seen anything quite like this. It is hard to figure out what is going on. It has us buffaloed.
chance fair gotten injuries locked ryan searching swing
It would be fair to say Ryan is searching for his swing a little. With the nagging injuries he has had, he just hasn't gotten a chance to get locked in at the plate.
change encouraged good nice scenery stuff thrown
The stuff was always there. I think the change of scenery was good for him. Chan Ho is going to have a nice year. I'm very encouraged by how he's thrown the ball.
game hard together
It would be hard to put together a better game than we did.
club equally gone hope longest quite seen team
I've never had a team in (a funk) like this for this long. It's gone on quite a while, the longest I've seen a club go through. The only thing you can hope is when we come out of it, it's for equally as long.
early fine five guys pitchers spring start
Early in spring training, I am fine with it because I need some guys to have at-bats, too. But once pitchers start going five innings, I want my pitchers to hit.
command good
Estes had especially good command with his fastball.
active good open ryan
There's a good possibility Ryan won't be on the active roster when we open the season.
