It's going to be a work in progress. He got a little lesson today. We don't want to make the same kind of mistakes two or three times.
It's going to be more or less preparing for games and playing in games rather than conditioning and playing in games. We play games but we are still going through Spring Training here.
It's good news and we are very excited about that, but it's a wait-and-see thing, too. We will wait and see how he reacts to this and how he feels, and when he goes out there and starts working again, then we will determine how good that news is.
It's safe to say. Is it safe that's going to happen? No.
It's really just not fair for the coaching staff, to hang them out there. That's worse than saying, 'You're fired.' Because then they know they have to go look for a job.
They had a chance to knock us out, as I've said, and they didn't do it. So we're getting our second wind, it looks like.
They didn't have anything to get rowdy about.
They didn't get the job done tonight. They didn't give us a chance. You can't defend walks.
You don't want these kids to feel shattered because they don't come through with a base hit or make a play in a tight situation and feel like they've cost us an opportunity to do something.
You don't see too many get up that high. That was a tremendous play. When the ball was hit, I though it was a base hit.
You can't let that happen. Those things come back to haunt you.
You can't let that happen. He felt like he was safe, but the umpire thought he was out. Those things come back to haunt you.
You can't keep going like this and saying, 'Well, it's early. It's going to come around.' We need to get results and we need to get them starting tomorrow.
This might be the one we needed to put us over the top before this thing is over.
