cab dinner hotel last sister wife
I got into the cab at the hotel to go to dinner with my wife (Kim) and sister (Terry) last night, ... Same cabbie.
comment
I don't have any real comment on that.
confidence success swinging
I'd like to get him going. He's had some success here. I'd like to get him swinging with confidence, because I know if Ryno is swinging well and swinging with confidence, we're a different ballclub.
asking
I'd like to think we can. That's not asking a lot.
guy wants
Mike's the kind of guy who always wants to be better.
mike played
Mike is doing fine. He could have played tonight.
experience hit hitting hole mike order top
Mike has hit in the 5-6 hole a lot in his career. He also has experience at the top of the order, so we have some flexibility. For now, though, I want Mike hitting down in the order a little.
angeles handled knows los mike pitching
Mike has handled some outstanding pitching staffs in Los Angeles and New York. He knows what he's doing back there.
pinch start
Obviously, we'd like to start getting some pinch hits.
couple looking strength
Obviously, we're looking at at least a couple of months. They feel they can get his strength back before the end of the season.
lacking
One thing we are lacking is power, ... It would be big if we could get him going.
good gotten guys looks lost rut
One thing you want to get is good swings. It looks like we have gotten a little defensive. I think some guys have lost some confidence. For us to be in a rut this long, it shouldn't happen.
future
I wouldn't even want to think about where we'd be without him. And I don't want to ever think about what it'd be like in the future without him.
