ball brand content cover ended improve last work
We're not content with how it ended last year. The brand of ball we played, we'd like to improve on that. We've got a lot of work to do and things to cover this spring.
credit guys hard simple swinging worked
For him to be swinging the way he is with the long layoff, ... it's a credit to how hard he worked in rehab. He's one of those guys with a simple swing. It doesn't take long to get it going.
good hard worked
It's good to see him out there. He's worked hard to get to this point.
ability starters work
Our starters have the ability to work out of the bullpen.

Pedro pitched very well. You know you have your work cut out when you face him, and he was on top of his game and shut us down.

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.
change good needed nice scenery worked
He's done a nice job. He's a nice acquisition for us. We needed another starter. With his stuff, with his experience, it's worked out well. I think a change of scenery has done him well. It's good to have him in our rotation.
tried work
He tried to keep playing, but it didn't work out.
closer diego gets hope san since worked
I hope that gets worked out with Trevor. I can't say enough about what he's done for the San Diego Padres , the community, myself. He's been my closer since I've been managing.
far hard stations turned volume work
How we go about things as far as stations is a little different, but nothing major. We always work hard on fundamentals, and we've turned up the volume on that.
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.
