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.
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.
both came pitching sides staff
He came through in a big way for us, on both sides of the ball. But Ramon is experienced, and our pitching staff is very comfortable with him. He'll do most of the catching. But I told Miguel how much I think of him and what he's done for us.
both exciting gives great love player production season sides talent tremendous watch work
Khalil is a great talent with a tremendous work ethic. We'd love to see him make it through a season without any injuries. He gives us production on both sides of the ball, and he's an exciting player to watch for the fans.
ball both good sides
They're all such good athletes, ... and they play both sides of the ball so well.
mean took
When you first come up, you don't know what you're getting into. He thought he took too many pitches. This time, he's getting his swings. That doesn't mean he's out of control, just that he's being aggressive.
attacking focus instead looks loses men success tends
When you haven't had a lot of success up here, it comes down to confidence. He didn't have the same look he did this spring. It just looks like he loses his focus out there, especially with men on base. When things aren't going well, it looks like he tends to back off, instead of attacking the hitters.
deal injury mike
When you had the kind of injury Mike had, he's going to have flashbacks and you're going to have to deal with things.
believe four games three
When you do it three out of four games, you really believe it,
credit easy giving seems
We've got to come out of this. It seems like we're giving (opposing pitchers) credit a lot lately. We can't get down. There is no easy answer.
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.
difference
We said he would make a difference and that has been the case.
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.
early knocked
We got knocked out early -- first round.
