You let that go by, all you're doing is creating more animosity on the other side. Hey, the guy gets hit after hitting a three-run homer, nothing happens. ... I think actually he let them get away with something there.
You just don't like to see sloppy play. We're not playing good, crisp, sharp baseball in any aspect of the game right now. Period. It's going to have to pick up. It's focus, anticipation and concentration. That's what it is. We don't seem to really be there right now.
You just don't like to see sloppy play. It's never too early to be concerned.
Will we catch people by surprise? I don't know. If they take us lightly, I think they'll be surprised.
I think having the whole offensive line back is key.
I still think we have to go out and play like we would play normally.
It all comes from the pitching. If you have good pitching, it keeps you in ballgames.
I think John gained that experience and understanding that he can do it now at this level. He is what I call 'established' now on this staff. He doesn't have to come here and win a job. All he has to do is get ready for the season.
Just knowing him for a brief period of time I feel like he's going to go out there and give it 110 percent. We're not talking about a Gold Glove or anything like that, just go out there and do the best you possibly can.
Just knowing him for a brief period of time, I feel like he's going to go out there and give it 110% and he's going to put the effort in to get better on a daily basis. He's not going to go out there and just put time in.
I'm happy for him. He seems to be having fun again. Everyone likes him. What's not to like? A kid full of enthusiasm, a big smile on his face, a young guy going out there and playing like he's a kid in a sandbox.
I might be more reasonable with it. There will be a certain time when the things go off. At a certain time, you have to start preparing yourself for the ballgame and think about the people around you.
We need two to exceed expectations, and we need one to be right on the borderline. That's what we need, because if you don't, it dumps a bigger load on the bullpen. We're just going to have to wait and see.
We need it. We need somebody to get hot, and he seems to be the guy now.
