game played spring training typical
It was the first game we played like that. It was kind of a typical Spring Training game.
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.
depends game good opportunity played spring training
He's played really well. He'll come into Spring Training with a real good opportunity. A lot of it depends on what we do in the winter, but there's not a whole lot about his game that I don't like.
spring training
But he will go to Spring Training as a starter.
bad error fact spring training
The fact we made only one error is not bad for a Spring Training game.
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.
fun guys hit opposed sit watch
Offensively, it was fun to just sit back and watch our guys hit as opposed to scratching out every run.
edge job lived lucky position win
We lived on the edge tonight. We were lucky to be in a position to win the game. We had one big inning but couldn't get the job done.
