bats hit home runs saw spring training watch
I saw him hit 10 home runs in 40 at bats one spring training. If he's in spring training mode, watch out.
balls hit run saw spring
I saw balls that were hit where he had to run and stop. I didn't see much favoring in the knee. He's so much better than he was in spring training. That was a real workout.
guys last next older year
I said last year that our guys would be a year older. Well, they'll be another year older next season. And we have all those day games.
ball excellent florida hit home jeff kid range reminds saw second share state stronger
He reminds me of Jeff Kent -- I saw him in A ball in the Florida State League. Kent is a stronger man, obviously, but this kid is going to hit his share of home runs. He has power, and he's going to be an excellent second baseman. He has more range than Kent.
care developing five gives guy runs six taking
Here, it is not a developing situation. Not yet. If a guy gives up five or six runs in two innings, I'm taking him out. I don't care who the guy is.
bad competition face fiery leagues minor reduced
He's a fiery type. When we had him in the minor leagues in Montreal, he was in competition with everybody, the umpires, the opposing teams. He reduced that a lot. I like Milton. Too bad we still have to face him.
expected games played six sort
Well, I'm sort of encouraged. He's been slow. I expected that to happen. I think the six consecutive games he played was probably too much. It set him back physically.
believe fact hit innings playing respect time
We have to respect the fact he's playing all those innings and getting all those at-bats. We believe he's going to hit one every time up.
good matt morris
The acquisition of Matt Morris is a good, good one. He's great.
ballgame best happens knows plays runs seen
That was one of the best plays we've seen this season. That was the ballgame right there. It's two runs and who knows what happens after that.
awesome barry knows swing
That was an awesome pitch. But Barry knows how to swing like that on a fastball.
believe care guy outing particular
That's the way it is. I don't believe one particular outing is going to make a difference. He's the kind of guy who doesn't really care who's on the other side.
men
That's awesome. I don't know how many men can do that.
baseball want montreal
Baseball will be back to Montreal, I want to see it. I want it to happen before I die. I will see it
