balls good hit league major needs playing
We thought it would be good for him to get some playing time. He hit some balls hard, that were right at guys, but he's a little rusty. He's a Major League player. I like his swing. His legs, his health, he's doing much better there. He just needs some at-bats.
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.
ball means meeting played type
We're disappointed we haven't played better ball on this trip. It was by no means a kind of sense-of-urgency type of meeting or anything.
ball great opportunity starter
We had a great opportunity there, and (Cardinals starter Mark) Mulder, he got out of it, ... We're just not cashing in at this point. The double-play ball killed us.
ball brand content cover ended improve last work
We're not content with how it ended last year. The brand of ball we played, we'd like to improve on that. We've got a lot of work to do and things to cover this spring.
against balls coming gets hard hit tough
Lowe was tough on us today. He is coming off some well-pitched games, and we didn't hit that many balls hard early. A sinkerballer gets groundballs, and that's what he has been able to do against us.
ball ran threw
I thought he threw the ball well. We just ran into a well-pitched game.
ball balls couple effort fairly good threw
I thought he threw the ball fairly well. He got a couple of balls up there, but it was a pretty good effort by Chris.
ball boost chance club four good series split three
That's a very good ball club over there. And to split a series with them - and we had a chance to take three out of four - is a boost for our club.
ball couple fairly gotten luck tonight tough
I thought Woody, overall, pitched fairly well. He's gotten the ball up a couple times, but tonight he was better. He had some tough luck that first inning.
ball jumping power swing
He's got unbelievable power -- plus/plus power. You can see it coming. He's getting his swing down. The ball was really jumping off his bat. Look out for Italy.
against arm ball both brought damage gives good guy job nice played plays reason shot sides
He was a real shot in the arm when we brought him up. He's done some damage with the bat, with extra-base hits, and he's played nice outfield. He's a good athlete. He's a guy who plays both sides of the ball well. The job that he did when we brought him up, I think, was the reason why we did want him on this roster. It gives us more flexibility against left-handed pitching.
ball good pride
What we want to do is play good ball like we did tonight, ... There's some pride involved.
