believe bonds came giants good help knee last late outfield rule year
I believe that the DH rule is going to be in effect, so Bonds will probably just hit. I think it will be good for him to get those at-bats without having to be in the outfield like he did when he came back late last year on that knee and at least sharpen his swing, which really don't need a whole lot to be sharp, but it will be a help for him and to the Giants and to the tournament, to the U.S. team.
adhere barry doctors knee last medical month ready saw since time trust
We've got to adhere to what the doctors say. He's getting better but not ready to play. There's not a whole lot that we know. We don't see Barry around. We don't see his knee physically. The last time we saw it was over a month ago. We trust the medical people. It's always been up in the air, ever since spring.
games knee sore
Too many games in a row. He's sore physically. Not the knee or the elbow. But a lot of games.
knee last ok saw swinging
Last year, I saw him favoring his knees. I didn't see him favoring the knee today. I didn't see it when he was batting. When he was swinging the bat, it was OK with me.
good knee last legs seen swinging
His legs look OK. He is swinging with a good base. Last year, I didn't see that very often. I haven't seen any favoring of the knee in two days.
depend knee legs maybe
I'll take anything over 100. Maybe 120 games, but it's going to depend on how his knee and his legs will feel.
awhile brakes chances knee
If he put on the brakes on a knee like that, chances are he'd be out for a while, and awhile is all we've got left,
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.
