dimensions excited team
It's going to make our team better. I'm excited to have him in the lineup. There are so many dimensions he brings. We need a little spark. It's going to make us better offensively and defensively.
baseball brought bunch change dynamic easy field guys happy leaders proven whether winning
It's easy to say you want a bunch of young guys. But no one's going to be happy whether you're young or old if you're not winning baseball games. The guys they brought in here are proven winners. They're leaders on the field and in the clubhouse. I think that's really important when you change the dynamic so much.
build coaches easier high next question relationships school second
It's easier the second year. You've got new coaches and they've got to build relationships with the high school coaches. There's no question it's easier the next year.
arms ball body caused happened knew looked saw
It was so bang-bang, I had no idea what happened or what caused the ball to be loose, ... All I knew was I looked down, saw the ball going through my arms and off my body and we'd won.

It was somewhat surreal to think that HIMSS first launched its advocacy initiative just a little over five years ago and here we are today meeting in the White House with the President's key HIT policy advisors on our members' advocacy agenda.

It's a little different circumstances, but you know what? When you pop the champagne, you pop the champagne. And this is just the beginning.
agent care far meet needs pilot report seeing taking
When I'm seeing a pilot, I'm taking care of the pilot -- but I'm doing it for the FAA, ... I'm an agent of the FAA, and that's who I report to, so it's far more important that I meet their needs than the patient's needs.
baseball definitely produce shows talked whatever
We've talked about having a swagger. But when you play .350 baseball, or whatever we played, you can't tell yourself to have that swagger. You have to go out there and produce to have it. When you show you can come back and get big hits, then it shows that it's possible. I think it definitely snowballs.
brad chance dominated gets settled
We had Brad on the ropes, but he battled out there and competed. When you have a chance to put him away, you have to before he gets comfortable and settled in. He pretty much dominated once he got settled in.
ball contact felt rolling saw
When I got to first, I felt the ball in my chest. There must have been some kind of contact with Cruz's glove, then I saw the ball rolling away.
both good hard hopefully time
Yeah, I think it could have been worse, without a doubt. After the MRIs, hopefully we're going to get good news. It's going to be hard to keep both of us out of the lineup. This time of year, it's hard to keep us out.
