base candidate considered field front gold guy hits situations uses
Is he not a guy going into day one who is considered a Gold Glove candidate -- and a Gold Glove candidate that can go out there and get 200 base hits if he uses the whole field and hits intelligently with the situations that are in front of him?

Both guys are going to catch in situations and games that make the most sense for them and the club.

That was a part of the reason. There was one situation in particular that Kent picked up on. For competitive reasons, I'm not going to say what it was.
due given role situations
We've given him a substantial role due to some situations that've come up, ... and he's responded very well.
four intriguing people possibilities situation spot talking
We were talking about four different people as possibilities for one spot in the rotation. It makes that situation that much more intriguing in my opinion.
base bunt created guys hit left perfect pitches situation
Two perfect pitches to bunt -- they are fouled off and we left our guys stranded. (Chicago) created a two-out situation and got a base hit that scored a run. It's huge.
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.

There wasn't any point in this series where he had to overdo it with our bullpen. You couldn't ask for a better situation going into Colorado.

This is not a platoon situation with Jeromy Burnitz. Jeromy Burnitz is our right fielder.
approach approaches ball change dugout far given group guy missed noticed players situation swing swung team understand watching
The one thing I noticed about this team while watching from the other dugout is that it swung and missed too much. The approach had to change collectively, in my opinion, as far as each and every guy approaches his at bats. You need a group of players that understand that in a given situation it's pretty important for them to try and put the ball in play, and not swing and miss.
best bring chance closely players sit situations study talents
I think you bring the best out of your players when you sit and study and look very closely at what their capabilities are and then try to find situations where their talents have the best chance to come out,
black dealing far handling mark situation
I think that what we do, as far as the handling of this situation and dealing with it, will go a long way in determining that factor, ... I'd like to think this is something you can deal with and keep a black mark from the (Dodgers) name.
bench contend factor fan great handled knows player situation team
He has handled the situation very professionally and he's made a big fan out of me because of that. It's great to have a player like him on the bench that you can put into the lineup and the other team knows he's a significant factor to contend with.
aggressive percent situation sure third trailing
That's an aggressive play, ... but as I said to him, when you're trailing in that situation and you would have had first and third with no outs, you have to be 100 percent sure that you make it.
