expecting streak
I was expecting the streak to come from another team.
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.
expect happen seen tomorrow wonder
I expect a lot with the bat. What I see in BP is the same BP I've seen before. ... I wonder what's going to happen tomorrow in his at-bat, the reception.
baseball expect feeling gets good hit knew time
We knew he was going to hit one. We knew he was going to hit more than one. We expect him to hit one every time he comes to the plate, and that's a good feeling even if he doesn't do anything. The anticipation gets everyone on their toes. What we need to do now is get him into good baseball shape, which he is not in now.
care expect five itself next transition waiting
There's a transition going on while we were waiting for the five regulars. That's why it's happening, but I expect it to take care of itself in the next 2-3 days.
career expected goes hope start time
There's a time in everyone's career when things start to happen. We expected a lot from him. I hope he goes to another team. He's still young enough to contribute.
action expect falling guys
He was really tired. I don't expect him to play. Also, this outfield, you see young guys slipping and falling on the grass. I believe, all things considered, No. 25 won't see any action tomorrow.
barry concern expect knee weekend
The concern is the knee, and the knee is big-time strong. I expect Barry to come back after the weekend and play.
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.
