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.
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.
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.
action good great ground hard looks sinking throw took
It's hard to throw much better than that, ... He made it look easy. He had great command, good sinking action and was getting ground balls. He made adjustments, and it looks like he took it out there.
earned himself played took win
He's played very well, and to be honest, he's flat-out earned this. He took it upon himself to win this job, and that's what he's done.
sign took
He wanted me to sign it, ... He took it over to me.
advantage ball bat breaking difference hanging looks took
He looks the same. I don't see any difference in his bat speed. He got a hanging breaking ball and took advantage of it.
came good hung took
He came out of it and I think after that (pitch), he hung in there and took some good swings.
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.
