confidence few kid learned next quite smart spring sure
So I'm sure it's been a confidence thing off and on but he's a smart kid and next spring he's going to look back on this thing and (realize) he's learned quite a few things.
few heard hope leave
I've heard that a few times. I'm going to leave that up to the people. I hope that doesn't matter.
care few personal rather sooner taking
We have no idea when he's going to be back. Hopefully, it will be sooner rather than later. He's taking care of a few things, and I can't really say any more than that. It's a personal matter.
coming depending few guess guys players year
Depending on what year it is, with the young players we have coming up in the organization, I would guess there's going to be a few of our guys in that game.
dropping few pounds starting ways
He's dropping a few pounds and starting to look better. He's got a ways to go.
care few gone hate home hopefully permission personal taken
He's gone home for personal matters. That's all I can say about it. He's just got permission to go home and take care of a few things. I hate to be so vague, but hopefully this will be taken care of sooner, if not later.
ballpark bit few gets hearts maybe pitches settled spring stadium stuff threw throwing time training
He was good. I know he threw a few too many pitches in the first inning, but he settled in. You know, I think a lot of times the first time in a real stadium other than a Spring Training ballpark gets your hearts started a little more -- maybe throwing through his stuff a little bit -- but I thought he was really good.
seen unusual
I've seen Elmer a lot and that's not unusual for him.
flow game guy
It was the other extreme, but a guy like Santana can do that to you. He can make things look real lethargic. The game just didn't have a flow to it.
ball pitch pitching talking wants winter
I still don't think that he'll pitch for us. I know he wants to but ... he's talking about pitching winter ball and we're going to talk about that, too.
months needed seen three
I've been here three months and I've seen just about everything I needed to see.
five problem
Five in a row, ... The problem with that is you see it better.
maybe might pitch thinking
Right now, we're thinking he might pitch one, maybe two more times,
quite
Quite honestly, I think that is a long shot.
