good mind signed
I've never signed up for anything with the thought in mind that I wanted to be mediocre. I feel pretty good about it.
good promise
Things are going to be done differently than they've been done in the past, I can promise you that. And it's going to be different in a good way.
good happen mexico player selected
First of all, I happen to think he was a pretty good player before he was selected to play for his country. I don't need to see him go play for Mexico to see that. But, absolutely, it can be a confidence-building experience.
base believe buffer clubhouse good guy happen needs office people team third
Every team needs people like that. It's not just what he does as a third base coach, and I happen to be believe he's very good at what he does. Having this guy as a buffer between my office and the clubhouse ... that's huge.
biggest chance element fifth good last pitcher starting
Did the starting pitcher give you a chance every fifth day to go out there and win? -- that's the biggest element I look at. (Santos) was pretty good at that last year.
against coming good job
We did a good job of coming back against a very good ballclub.
good seen taken
That was as good an at-bat as we've seen taken all year.
good looking spring swing talking
It doesn't get any better than that. It's what we've been talking about all spring - we went up there looking for something good to take a swing at.
bit build good next opening time
I thought he had a very good workout. ... I think it's a good one to build on. His next time out, you get him out there a little bit further, he's set up to go for Opening Day.
good strikes threw ton
We threw a ton of strikes and we made some very good 0-2 pitches.

He's a good little offensive player. He looks like he belongs in the majors. This kid knows how to play. And he's a winner.
attitude forward good looking seeing three
We have three good catchers. Our attitude is we're looking forward to seeing what they can do.
care choices couple fastball few good life numbers pitches quality seen strike throwing
I don't care what the numbers suggest. I thought the life to his fastball was as good as we've seen all spring. I think there could have been a couple different choices he made in a few two-strike counts, but I'll tell you: He was throwing nothing but quality pitches in the strike zone. ... He was actually too fine.
blue club good pick sit talk thus until
I could sit here and talk about those things until I'm blue in the face, but those are things if you're going to become a good club you have to pick up on and capitalize. Thus far, we've not been able to do that.
