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.
base depth free great prospect third
We don't have a lot of depth at third base in the system. That's like having a prospect there, but we got him as a sixth-year free agent. That's a great find.
baseball card
I have a clean-shaven baseball card from 1979.
baseball concerned dwell left
You don't like being 3-7. But we have too much baseball left to dwell on it or be concerned about it.
appreciation bases consider military ourselves san sunday teams troops
We have so many military here. This is our way to show our appreciation to our forces. We like to consider ourselves as the military's teams with all the bases we have in San Diego. It's an honor. Every Sunday we have the troops out at the ballpark. This is something we do with honor.
ball base hurt looking runs threw
Any runs you give up hurt you, but we got the ball we're looking for at first base and couldn't get them out at home. Pedro threw great. Give him credit.
baseball figure good objective playoffs
Our objective is to get to the playoffs and play good baseball. We'll figure that out once that happens.
accurately baseman coming great himself instincts pitch positions third throws
He has great instincts and feel for the game. He positions himself so well when the pitch is coming and has great reactions. And he throws as accurately as any third baseman I've seen.
baseball scholars-and-scholarship thinks wants
He just thinks about baseball. He said he doesn't go out. He just wants to go to the ballpark.
base bigger hit hoping piece quite tie
Greeney, it doesn't get any bigger than that. You're just hoping to put one in play and get a base hit there to tie it. That's quite a piece of hitting.
baseball gender issue
I didn't think gender was even an issue anymore.
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.
