ball carry seen time year
I've never seen the ball carry this time of year like it did tonight.
outing pitcher second sees time
The second time a young pitcher sees the same team, that's what made today's outing even more impressive. They have some idea of what you're going to do out there.
good hitting might needs period stumble tearing time
I think he's hitting right where he needs to hit right now. He's going through a good period now. He might stumble a little bit. There'll be a time when he's not hitting well and Wilkerson is tearing it up. We've got to keep that in mind.
mental period time
You don't do what he has done over a long period of time and not have some mental toughness.
arms capable couple guys legs next shape showing spring start time
It's the time of spring where guys are getting their arms in shape and their legs under them. We'd like to see them start showing what they're capable of doing in their next couple of outings.
anybody balancing knows people pressure realize talking texas time tough trying
It's a tough time for Coco. He's balancing a lot of things and trying to make a lot of people happy. I don't think people realize the pressure on this guy. There's a lot more going on than just the Texas Rangers, and anybody who has been in the Dominican knows what I'm talking about.
compete ourselves prepare time win
We're going to compete and try to win while at the same time prepare ourselves for the future.
bad exciting happened liked obviously people time took top won
The big thing was Curt Schilling, he was obviously on top of his game. It's disappointing. A lot of people took time out of their day to be out here, and we would have liked to have won the game. It was a pretty exciting day. Only one bad thing happened today, and that's that we lost.
dealt focus move people time
It is something that we've dealt with and I think he's dealt with it real well, all things considered, and it's time to move on and get the focus back on getting people out.
great man people quick sharp special time
He's a special young man. He's sharp and has great people skills. He's a quick learner. J.D. will make the decisions, and most of the time he's been right.
excited feeling guy help pain time
He's so excited about feeling no pain for the first time in so long, but he doesn't want to go back to that. This is a get-lucky guy. If this guy is right, he could really help us.
couple days gone hit quite time
He only got hit a couple of days ago and it's going to take time to look at things. There was a lot of swelling, but it has gone down quite a bit. There's still time.
confidence hit last patch rough season shake
The rough patch he hit at the end of last season would shake anybody's confidence a little, but it's nothing that can't be repaired.
best break certainly five good
It would be a different look for sure. He's going to get a good chance. That would certainly break up the pattern. But at the same time, you're going to take your five best pitchers.
