ball both far hitting known sides
Winn's got some pop. He's not known for his power, but he's got some. He's been hitting the ball far from both sides of the plate.
bat both legs saw standing sunday
I didn't like what I saw Sunday - he didn't look like he was standing on both feet. The bat is there; the legs are not.
add age bother hear issues
It's not overblown, it's the truth. I have to hear about my age every day, especially when I first got here. That's one of the issues we have here. We have other issues. To add one more isn't going to bother anybody.
barry both bring dull fans front life seat type
(Sunday), I didn't see a lot of life ? both teams. It was a dull type of game. We need some life. Barry will bring some expectations. When he comes to the plate, he will bring life to the fans and the team. I know I'm going to take the front seat (today).
field home left ready run
We just want to get him ready on defense. To see him play left field now was more important than the home run he hit.
days effect games playing pushing
We were pushing him to get off to a start. He was fresh. Now the effect of playing all those games showed up two days ago.
seen
I've seen it happen. You think you're going to get better, and you get worse.
looks physically pitch seems seen stronger throwing
I've seen him pitch a lot. He looks stronger physically from what I've seen and seems to be throwing harder. He's (looking) a lot better.
watching worse
It would've been worse if I was watching the game, but I didn't see any of it.
changed deal dealing easy man since
It was very hard, but it was easy because when you deal with a man like that, everything is easy. I've been dealing with him since he was 22. He hasn't changed as a person.
everybody last life likes love missing since velocity
It was very difficult. He just hasn't been the same pitcher. His velocity was down, and he had no life on his fastball. That has been missing since last year. Personally, I love him and the way he plays. Everybody likes him.
found fun low
The writers, ... used to make fun of us. I found it to be ? ridiculous. I found it to be low class. I found it to be prejudiced. I found it to be ignorant.
inside
Ellison has done everything. He's got the inside track. He's the favorite.
difference feeling
There's a feeling of urgency, because we know the difference that he could make for us.
