caught certainly good ryan
I thought Ryan caught a good game. He certainly will go back out there.
certainly five hope nights plenty runs
I would certainly hope so. At the major-league level, there has to be a lot of nights where five runs are plenty to win.
certainly goes hope hurt spring
I would certainly hope not (intentionally) in spring training. I don't think Curt Schilling goes out there to hurt people.
certainly four game games gets interested pitch sitting
When the first pitch of the game gets thrown, we've got four games to try to win. I'm certainly interested in doing that now that I am sitting in this office.
belongs build certainly game hope left minor prove terrific
He was terrific tonight. I certainly would hope that this is a game he can build on. He doesn't have anything left to prove in the Minor Leagues. He has to prove that he belongs here, and I think he started to tonight.
afraid attack ball certainly close paying pitcher
If I'm a pitcher and I'm paying close attention, I'm certainly not going to be afraid to attack somebody's bat. I want the ball in play -- because they're going to make plays.
certainly mike
I certainly don't want have to use Mike Gonzalez in that situation.
afraid bit certainly people shy
I'm certainly not the least bit shy or afraid of having young people out there competing,
certainly point sit
I don't really think he'll get better from the sidelines. But I think we're getting to the point where you'd certainly like to think we'll sit here and see some improvement.
ball certainly covers gets surely tremendous
He surely can do that. I'd have to say he gets a tremendous read on the ball off the bat. He certainly covers a lot of ground.
catch speed
We're going to speed Duff up and get him some at-bats. We've just got to catch up a little bit.
easy few gonna guy identical last leave quality recognize saw seeing start starts step teammates took
What we're seeing right now is, in my mind, identical to what we saw last year, when it took him a few starts to get untracked, and then you see one quality start after another. His teammates recognize that's he gonna leave everything that he has on the field, and it's very easy to step up for a guy like that.
came says schedule
What the schedule says is what you do. I think we came out of it pretty good, all things considered.
arm ball decrease instead pushing slot throwing timing
When your timing is off and you're pushing the ball instead of throwing the ball, there will be a decrease in velocity. If the timing is off or the arm slot is off, you won't see the same thing.
