help looked needed rotation starter
We needed help in the rotation and looked for an experienced starter who could pitch,
figuring guy hard hit looked mixed pitches sure time
We had a hard time figuring Hernandez out. He sure looked like the same guy as in '98. He mixed his pitches up and hit spots.
awesome bothering crushed face forget fought knee looked pitches tough
It's how you want to face him. It looked like he didn't have a chance. He fought off some tough pitches and then crushed one to center. You can't forget how awesome he is just because his knee is bothering him.
fastball looked
It looked like he didn't get it where he wanted it, ... It was a fastball or cutter out over the plate.
ball looked track
He was out of synch. It just looked like he didn't have a feel of where the ball was going, and he couldn't get on track out, there so I had to go get him.
came camp great left looked ready
He came to camp in great condition. When Chan Ho left for the Classic, he looked like he was ready for the season.
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.
