It makes sense to have him where he's at today.
innings opportunity younger
It's an opportunity to get some more innings for some younger guys.
consider offense
It's kind of unfortunate when you consider how the offense is playing, and you get pitched right out of the game.
capability good latter score slim starter tough
It's going to be tough to score off us in the latter part of the game. If a starter has the know-how and capability of getting 18 outs with a slim lead, we're in pretty good shape.
game given guys ready situation
It's going to be just another game to those guys because they've been given at-bats. That's why they've been given at-bats, so that in a situation like this, they're ready and not rusty.
potential
It's flexible. It has the potential to be interchangeable.
ask covered intrigue successful taken
It's been a very successful spring. A lot has been covered ... taken in by these guys, and applied. That's all you can ask for. It's a very interesting mix. It has some intrigue to it.

It's great to get him back in camp with us. I saw a guy on TV who really liked the arena that he was in.
far rest saying suggested swinging time
It's been suggested to J.D. for the time being to back off as far as swinging the bat. Am I saying we will not see him for the rest of the year? I'm not saying that.
bottom came game haunt lose manner road tough walk
It's a tough game to lose after the manner in which we came back. One of the first things to stave off on the road is a leadoff walk in the bottom of the ninth. More often than not, it comes back to haunt you, and it did.
came game lose manner tough
It's a tough game to lose after the manner in which we came back.
forward information players somebody step street unless useful
It's a two-way street when you give somebody information. We don't take information to the players unless we think it will be very useful to them. As a player, you have to do something about it and take a step forward and try to make some of the adjustments that are being suggested.
constantly john players work
It was exceptional. And that was from day in, day out, working with John Shelby. One thing you'll see us do is constantly work with players on their versatility. Having Shelby around makes a big difference.
balls beginning best breaking command fastball progress threw
It was the best Snell has done. I'm beginning to see some progress from him. He threw enough breaking balls for strikes. He had much better command of his fastball tonight.
