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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
