couple days eventually few hard josh last played start stretching three work
Miguel played a few days in a row. Josh is going to play a few days in a row. We'll eventually work up to three days in a row. It's hard because we have two catchers that need to play. We'll start stretching them out the last couple of weeks.
afford continue game hurt
Miguel can't afford to get hurt in a game like this. Not if I want to continue to manage.
anyone player sit survived type wait
I was the type of player who had to do the little things to win. Anyone can sit around and wait for the three-run homer. But I had to do the little things. I had to hit-and-run. I had to squeeze. That's the way I survived as a player.
fans great
I was there when I was 6 years old. I've been there a lot. It's a great ballpark. It's a great atmosphere, day-in, day-out. The fans are great.
bricks carry eyes father gave remember
I was the grunt. I used to carry the bricks and cement. I remember when my father gave me my first $100 bill. My eyes were huge.
catcher felt guy strides
I think I made most of my strides as a catcher working under him. He is the one guy I really felt I had to have.
ball giving handling hit means move seldom taking zone
I think he's handling it great. I don't think he is going out of his zone a lot. He's taking what they give him. You see him always hit the ball to the right side, if that's what they're giving him. Very seldom do you see him move his swing. That means to me he is handling it great.
catch great pitchers spring time training year
I think he'll play catch up most of spring training just because of the time he's missed. He's going to play catch up the whole year really ... but that's OK. A lot of great pitchers have had to do it.
spring time training
I think he will play catch-up most of Spring Training because of the time that he's missed.
happy mexico seen
We haven't seen Amezaga play yet. I'm happy for him that Mexico is winning, but it's making it kind of tough.
changed excited
We just changed some things. We've changed some other pitches. I'm excited to see how he pitches, actually. I'm excited to see what transpires, when we get home.
guys kept score
You don't ever think you're going to score 12 runs. That's a lot of runs, but guys kept hitting. They got a lot of big hits.
good guys kept score
You don't ever think you are going to score 12 runs, but our guys kept hitting. It was a good game.
evaluate happen hit nervous younger
You kind of have to try to evaluate each guy, what's happening. Some of them are pressing. Some of them are nervous about what's going to happen if they don't get a hit in the at-bat. That's part of being a younger player.
