guys session
We had a heart-to-heart with each other. A lot of guys said stuff. It was like a venting session for everybody.
figure group guys jim known manager players talk
It's a pretty important asset, especially with a group like ours. The players want to know what the manager thinks. With Lloyd, you pretty much had to figure that out on your own. Jim Tracy's known to talk to his players, and that makes guys happy.
avoid bats guy leagues major minor season seems since
It's been kind of frustrating. I've never been a guy who has had a lot of injuries. I always had 500 at bats every season in the minor leagues. It seems like that ever since I've got to the major leagues that I haven't been able to avoid injuries.

Even the stuff we were doing today, that could be huge. It's a lot easier to score from third than from second.

We're always dealing with the administration, and the typical student really isn't, so we're trying to bridge the gap and explain to them in more, I guess, casual terms the reasons for some of the rules that are in place.
eyes good open
That's what he should do -- open some eyes and show that he can play. We're real good friends and competitive, too, at the same time.
good playing whoever
Whoever is playing good should play. I think that's fair.
felt good
It felt good just to get off to a good start. We haven't had a lot of those.
behind easier game tough
We haven't had a whole lot of these innings. It's a lot easier to play the game that way. It's tough to have to play from behind like that all the time.
