case eric guys impact players
They're pretty exceptional players, guys who are impact players that can make a significant difference. In Eric and Rich's case we're still ongoing.
amount defined funding mission powerful statement
It would be a pretty powerful message. A significant amount of our funding comes from our association with the IBAF. Our mission statement is defined by it.
baseball definitely good hate hope left program seniors
These seniors have done more for me than I could ever hope to do for them. We have a good baseball program here, and it's because of these kids. I hate that it had to end this way for them, but they've definitely left their mark.
bullpen games pitch reducing
We like our bullpen. We can look, with those pitch counts, at reducing games to our bullpen a little quicker, potentially.
commit discussed involved mentally obviously physically playing point
Mentally and physically he's not at a point where he can commit to playing but he would like to be involved and we've discussed that. Obviously we'd like to have him involved in any context.
classroom hit kids teachers worked
Many new teachers haven't worked with kids before. When they hit the classroom all on their own, they feel very alone.
club decision indication pitch sit whether
We want to make a decision soon. He should get an indication of whether he can pitch or not after the outing, and then he'll have to sit down with the club and see what they think.
change given happens maybe moving quicker revisit view
He's disappointed it's probably not going to happen. We're going to revisit things with him in another 10-12 days, see if things are moving quicker than maybe he thought. If there happens to be a change of view on his part, we've been given assurances that we can reopen that scenario.
bullpen depending figuring looking schedule situation slot
We may be in a situation now that we don't need to (piggyback starters). Depending on the game, you look at what your bullpen brings. We're just looking at the schedule now figuring where we need to slot people.
closer compete eric reality realized sets
He was enthusiastic and wanted to see if he could pitch. But as you get closer reality sets in. He realized it was questionable that he comfortably compete and comfortably be Eric Gagne.
devastated running
He was running backwards. He was pretty upset, devastated would be the word.
ball gets
If that ball gets through, it's 12-4 and there's still only one out. You never know. But that's kind of the way things went for us all day.
chance coming few guys party team tournament
I don't think everyone else in this tournament is getting their wish-list, either. We have a few young guys on the team who will get a chance and this could be a coming out party for them.
associated baseball canada maybe somehow team uniform vital
If nothing else, I'd like to get him to be around the team when we're down there in Arizona. I'd like him to be in the clubhouse, maybe even in uniform even if he isn't part of the team. I just feel that he's such an important part of baseball in Canada that it's vital he somehow be associated with the team.
