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.
ask good guys hoping run took tying winning
We had our guys up there in the eighth, and you can't ask for more than that. What you're hoping for there is to get the tying or winning run on, and we did both, but they got a very big out. Randa took a pretty good swing, but just got it up in the air.
against both fun game gun guys roger threw top type
Both guys pitched great. That's the type of game we all expected. Young gun Jake did what we needed, threw zeros up there, because Roger was on top of his game. That's a fun game to watch, the young guy going against one of the best.
greater guys
There's not a greater feeling. This team's been pushed. These guys responded. It's been a bumpy road, but I couldn't be prouder.
coming covered guys prepared tested
We're covered in the outfield. We're getting tested right off the bat. But you need to be prepared for anything. We have experienced guys coming off the bench.
build continue fill guys holes next trying winning year
You have to fill some holes each year. Next year will be a different club, too. Ideally, you want to have guys come up through your system, but in the meantime, you want to continue to have winning seasons. What we're trying to do is build some consistency.
couple definitely full guys hurt
It definitely hurt because we've got a couple of guys down now so we're not at full strength,
bullpen cameron center field guys sure wait
We had to make sure the bullpen was in order. We've got some guys in the bullpen who need a break. So we'll wait a day, and Cameron will be in center field (today).
adam bat expect guy hope last limit played speed throwing year
I expect to see the same guy I did last year. I hope they'll limit him to 30 or 40 games. That first at-bat off Adam Eaton last year was very impressive. The guy hadn't played all year and Eaton was throwing 93-94 and he doubled off the wall. That bat speed is always there.
both defensive guy help power sides
Castilla is a guy who can help us on both sides of the ball. He'll give us some power and production, and he's an outstanding defensive player.
guy hit last locked obviously
Obviously he's not locked in at the plate. He's a guy that's come through many times for us. (Third base) is the last place you want to hit that ball.
guy wants
Mike's the kind of guy who always wants to be better.
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.
credit giving guy threw throw
We've got to come out of this and we will. Their guy did throw well. I know we're giving credit a lot lately, but he threw well.
