far good gotten parts roll solid
We just haven't gotten on a roll here where we've been able to put the combinations together, as far as the good-pitched game, solid bullpen, the good hitting, the good defense. We haven't done that with much regularity at home. We've had this part or that part -- we haven't had all the parts in a roll.
anxiety business cut gone good last months played season since team three
This team has gone about their business as good as any team I've played on or been around. That's the way they've gone about it since they showed up. There was just a lot of anxiety and inexperience for the first three months of the season last year. We cut a lot of teeth.
children given good kinds lord outside parenting
What parenting comes down to, I think, if you want to do it right, is you've got to get outside yourself. That's what children do for you. Well, the good Lord has given me all kinds of things right now to get outside myself.
good liking seeing
Very unfortunate. He was having a good spring. We were liking what we were seeing out of Josh.
good hat people saying season time tip year
Every year at this time of the season you tip your hat to them. If you ever get people saying that about your organization you are in good shape.
good
If we can go 7-4 every 11 games, we'll be in good shape.
balls blast coming couple good hits looking struck watching
I am having a blast watching Stewart play. That is a big day with a couple of hits coming off left-hand arms. He struck balls well in the big part of the ballpark. He is a good looking young player.
barometer believe breaking chair good happened kept nobody perform pitcher point possible simple taken tight time tried wound
Nobody here has taken him and put him in a chair and tried to get him wound up so tight that he can't perform by breaking down his mechanics, ... We've kept things as simple as possible for a young left-handed pitcher to go out there and perform. I really believe that, at this point and time in the season, this is one of the more challenging things that's happened to him in his career. This'll be a good barometer of who and what he is.
book good wish
I wish him good things. Our book is closed.
allowed effort good run seven starting
If we get that kind of effort (one run allowed by Jennings in seven innings) from our starting pitching, we are going to be in good shape.
adversity came colorado good learned realize short
More can be learned from adversity than when everything good happens. They realize they were short in areas, went down to (Class AAA) Colorado Springs, addressed the shortcomings and came back.
challenges command couple good handled pitches strike zone
I thought he handled a couple of challenges very well. I thought his first 10 pitches were up a bit, and then I thought he got pretty good command of the strike zone down.
ahead break dissect distance elevate everybody far good months numbers opportunity pack scheme spell themselves three time
I think by far and away he was way ahead of the pack at the time he went down. But the numbers he has now, they still spell out pretty good in the big scheme of things if you want to dissect numbers and break them down. Everybody else had an opportunity of three months to really put some distance between themselves and him and elevate themselves, but it didn't happen.
dream good room talent
Like I said, we're going to have a good year. We have too much talent in that room to dream small.
