feet last opening question start wet
With time, we look to him to be a No. 1-type guy. If he's healthy, there's no question he's in the rotation. He won't be overwhelmed by an opening day start at home. That's why it was important for him to get his feet wet last year.
bases believe capable great guy hide hitting home judged left question reach runs since speed steal talent
This guy is only being judged by the home runs now. Right now, he's only capable of hitting home runs. He doesn't steal the bases anymore. He's not the (superb) left fielder anymore. He doesn't have the speed anymore. I believe that when we reach back, we are going to hide all that talent that started when he was a kid. Because there's no question about it, this guy's been great since he was a kid.
ballpark balls dominate guy hit miss question spoiled
No question there was one guy who could dominate this ballpark and hit balls out ? that was Barry. We miss him on the field, an MVP guy. We've been spoiled here.
ball charged coming guy hard lose signed throwing time
We're going to take our time with him. It's really hard to lose Noah, a young guy who was really coming up big. He just signed a long-term contract. He was really charged up and throwing the ball well.
We have no scheduled day off for him tomorrow.
acquired capable control pitching team walk
We have no control on what's going to happen. He could be acquired by another team or he could just walk away from us. That would be a setback for us, because we know he is capable of pitching well, and he could end up doing it for someone else.
depended open
The possibility was open for him to be here during the game. It all depended on something he had to do.
five games losing loss months spent
We spent five months losing series. That's what has us five games back - not the loss tonight.
game hit intensity leadership life
Wow, he was good. The leadership there on the hill, the intensity ... we didn't hit much, but there was a lot of life in this game because of him.
games good guy relationship saving tyler walker
We know he's out there, We have a guy ( Tyler Walker ) now saving games who has a good relationship with the fans.
last pitchers starting trap year
We want starting pitchers to be able to pitch (in the spring), even if they're going to give up runs. We want to get away from the trap we were in last year with a lot of three- and four-inning starts.
We did not do too much with Zambrano.
hope stop walk walking
We always have big rallies when they walk him. I hope they don't stop walking him.
walk
We always have big rallies when they walk him, even before Mo was here.
