best brief gold knowing period possibly talking time
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.
ball best changing corners five game hitting knee last normally pitches six
It was probably the best game he's pitched in the last five or six ball games. His knee is getting better each start, and he is getting back to where he normally would be: that is hitting the corners with his pitches and changing speeds.
best cover fourth game pitching sharp tear third
It was a very well-played game, but it all started with pitching and defense. Again, we didn't tear the cover off the ball. We scored one run. This is what we have to do to compete. Hopefully, we can put it together. This is probably the third or fourth sharp game that we have played, but this the best that we played.
asking balls best chance couple field foreign good ground routine watching
I want to get him in the lineup, I want to give us the best chance we can to win, ... Watching him have a couple of good at-bats, watching him field ground balls and things, I think he'll be all right there. I've been told he can play shortstop, so it's not really foreign to him. All I'm asking him to do is make the routine plays.
adjusted baseball best coming family moving offense players plays second understand
We understand where he's coming from. He's been an All-Star second baseman. He is one of the best players in baseball because of his offense at that position... Moving your family and getting adjusted - it plays on a guy's mind.
best maybe
Just relax. All I tell him is to go out there and do the best he can. He's doing all right. It'll be trial-and-error for a while, maybe all year. Who knows?
best building continues good location outing sharper time
He continues to improve. He continues to get sharper each time out, and his location was very good today. He had a very good outing today. Keep building -- that's what we look for. As you go along, you get better. This was his best outing so far.
being-the-best do-the-best
I always tried to do the best. I knew I couldn't always be the best, but I tried to be.
afford area best bothered control happy living town
If it bothered me, I wouldn't be where I am today. It's just like living in one area of town and you can't afford the things some of your friends can afford. Does that bother you? Subconsciously, it does a little bit. But you can't let it get the best of you and control your thought process. If you do, you won't have a very happy life.
best complain gives goes healthy innings last possibly protect takes though throw trying
He's a professional. He takes the ball. He's not always healthy when he goes out there, but he doesn't complain about it. He just gives you the best he can possibly give you. It was the same way last year, even though we were really trying to protect him with that knee, he still wanted to throw as many innings as he possibly could.
critical far guy handle himself individual knows lower maybe pain tendency
When a guy is maybe on the lower end of the pain threshold, we have a tendency to maybe be a little critical of him and say what he should do and what he should be able to do. All I know is an individual knows himself and he knows what he is able to handle as far as pain is concerned.
lose rallying takes together whatever win
We have to do whatever it takes right now, ... That's our rallying cry: whatever it takes. We have to put it together now. We can't win one, lose one, win one, lose two.
finish
We had the ballgames. They were our ballgames to win, and we didn't finish them off.
