I just don't know why we can't throw and catch the ball. Am I embarrassed by it? Not really. I'd like for us to be sharper.
I just felt like it's better for him to stay in his regular turn, and that way everybody else stays in their regular turn. Ramon can go down to the bullpen and help us out there if needed until his turn comes up again.
His arm wasn't right a lot of the season. Hopefully he can get this corrected once and for all. It's been three years now.
But if you finish over .500, you can say, 'We can go from here. If we win 'x' number of games more than we won last year, we can win this thing.'
I promise you tomorrow you'll see the Opening Day lineup.
In trouble, right back out of trouble. That's his M.O..
If you want to be realistic, you say, 'What would it take? A miracle.' Well, miracles happen. Not too often, but they do happen once in a while. But, realistically, yeah, we're looking at it, and probably it's insurmountable.
I guess we've gotten comfortable real quickly in this ballpark.
I guess more disgust because we had two games won and then we lost them.
I guess they decided to give me a birthday present.
It has to be cultivated. Just because you are playing a team that's down the road that doesn't mean it's a rivalry. Both teams have to be productive and winning over years and time. You have to create the fan interest and the media interest in it and that makes it a rivalry.
Hopefully, he'll get three at-bats in a shorter period of time hitting at the top of the lineup.
He's very sensitive, and he has a mind-set. He lets you know how he feels.
I'm concerned because that's supposed to be his strong suit.
