guys stay track trust
With guys like Brad, they're going to trust their track record. They're going to get there if you stay with them.

You stay with it. But at some point, you have to get returns for the opportunities they are given.
continues stay
I'd like to stay away from it. If it continues to be a problem, though, it's something we'll have to look at.
balls flying gives gotten monitor reminder starting stay swelling takes
He had a little swelling starting there and that was a concern, but there wasn't anything he could say to stay in. We'll monitor him real closely, but I think we may have gotten real lucky. It gives you a reminder of what it takes to go out there. You're so close, and balls are flying off the bat.
challenges driven kevin lets mentally needs physical pick runs situations stay stayed
He needs to stay mentally strong. Kevin has driven in some big runs but he lets some situations get away that he needs to pick up. He's had some physical challenges but he stayed on the field.
fresh game gives guys leave might paid pitches rotation somebody stayed taking wonder
He's managed his rotation and especially his relievers beautifully. You never see him leave guys out there too long or use them too often. You might wonder why he's taking somebody out after 10 pitches of a 9-0 game in June, but it's paid off. His guys have stayed fresh. He gives guys fresh innings.

feeding frenzy mound negative positive side spring throw
It's Spring Training. I know how that goes, ... First, you throw on the side and you get a positive or negative feeding frenzy. Then you throw off the mound and get a positive or negative feeding frenzy ... and when you're done, you throw all of it out the window. It's not just Chan Ho. It's everybody.
continue
It's something we have been and will continue to monitor.
good step wants
It's something he wants to do, and we think it will be another good step for him.

It's not good news to see Soriano and Putz healthy and throwing well.
decide finished goes periods product tough
It's not a finished product but he goes through periods where it's pretty good. We've got to decide if it's there yet. That's a pretty tough call.
balls hit
They hit a lot of balls that snuck through.
