The time for forgiveness and overlooking and waiting is over because you just don't have those numbers of games left. We got to have people going out there now doing the job, not hoping they are doing it.
Every Opening Day is special to me. When they don't become special to you, it's time for you to get out of the game. You get butterflies, and can't wait to get started. You look forward to it from the time the season ends until the next Opening Day.
You get up, you go to first base, you come back up and hit against the guy the next time and you do some damage with the bat. Those days are over.
You feel especially good inside when the kids go out there and do a job for you. This team is probably going to have a different face on it by the time we see it next year opening day.
We have more than a week left before the season starts, and there is plenty of time for decisions like that to be made.
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 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.
It wasn't even close. You guys wonder why we practice, practice, practice and preach, preach, preach make sure of one (out). Take your time and make sure of one. They don't have a chance if you don't make a good throw.
I wanted to take a look at him at shortstop. It could work, but I don't know the next time he'll be out there.
We felt like every time he took the ball he was going to go nine innings, no matter what. I really admire him for that.
Unless he takes longer than five to seven days, or is still there, then that's when there's some concern and will have some type of effect on the team. Other than that, he's got plenty of time to get ready for the season.
We know why we came up short today and hopefully we can take advantage of 12 hits and score more runs the next time we get 12 hits. I hope it's not August.
We're not going to have the kind of club that's going to just outscore teams. We're going to need good pitching along with timely hits. That's what worked for 90 games last season.
