ability anyone aspects energy flair focusing good hit saw seen spring
He has had some good at-bats and has had a flair for the big hit here recently. We saw that from him in spring training. Anyone who has seen him play realizes he has a lot of energy. He's working on focusing that energy into the important aspects of his game. He has an ability that you don't see every day.
cause heat help
We didn't help our own cause much. We didn't put a lot of heat on them, that's for sure.
bad baseball days good leagues regardless situation whether
We all know the situation - those umpires, regardless of whether they're in the big leagues or in A-ball, they have good days and bad days.
continue excited forget good guys happy journey needed start won
I got that first one out of the way. I am just happy that we won a game. I'll never forget it. But I am more excited for my guys. It's a lot better for them than it is for me. These guys needed to get off to a good start and continue their journey to the big leagues.
spell
We're just going through a spell right now where things aren't going our way.
embrace hope learn nice
I still look at him as a player, so it was nice to see what he's been able to come in here and do. My hope is that our regulars here will watch, embrace and learn everything they can from him while he's here.
chuckle face league major managerial pitcher sending
I thanked him for sending a top-notch major league pitcher to face us in my managerial debut. He got a chuckle out of that.
pitchers program proud starters tight
Our pitchers have pitched well from our starters to our bullpen. We have a tight pitch-count program here and every one of the pitchers has pitched well. I am proud of them.
ahead future good looks
He was impressive. Even when Blanco got that hit, he still managed to keep us in check. I don't know much about him, but from the looks of it, he has a good future ahead of him.
pitches strikes throw whenever
He could throw two pitches for strikes pretty much whenever he wanted. When you can do that, you'll be pretty effective.
help next selfish
We'd like to be selfish and keep him here. But we're here to help him try to get to the next level.
good last ourselves position putting win
We've done a lot of good things the last two nights. We're putting ourselves in position to win games.
advantage anyway boost course few good guys hits mentally nice relaxed spread tonight
It would be nice to get a few more hits spread out over the course of the game, but we'll take them anyway we can. We had some opportunities tonight and it was good to see us take advantage of them. The guys battled their tails off tonight. It should be a big boost for these guys mentally to get them relaxed and get them on a roll.
blowing shot wind
That was a big hit. I don't ever think we're out of the game, but that put us just one shot away, especially with the way the wind was blowing out there tonight.
