besides bullpen center directors farm grow guys left maybe mean means press public reason second top
The bullpen guys are going to have to grow up just like the starters, just like our shortstop, second baseman, first baseman, right, center and left fielders probably. It's OK. Just because a guy is young doesn't mean he can't play. It just means that no one in the public besides maybe farm directors and the press know who they are. They can still play. There's a reason that they are top prospects.
bigger grow playoff
If it was a playoff game, I think he'd be out there. But we don't want it to grow into something bigger than what it is.

I don't think there's any question about the heart of these kids. They want to win, and they want to be big-league players. It's us growing up as a team and eliminating minor mistakes and getting better every day.

I'm very concerned about it. None of us know what it is like to be Pokey Reese, the issues he's had to deal with on a daily basis. I'm not upset with him. I am just worried. We all have personal things that we have to tend to. I'm just concerned that he's OK. It worries me. I just want to hear his voice that he's OK.

In his first start, and what he's been through this spring, I didn't feel it was in his best interest to go back out there.

I'm not a big fan of doubleheaders. I think it takes a lot out of your players. It not only hurts them that day but it hurts them down the road.

I kind of got emotional watching them play. They were trying so hard. Our guys grew up a little bit tonight.

healthy leg patient quick quickly remain respond send sure
It's not as quickly as we would have liked, but you have to remain patient and make sure he's healthy before we send him back out there. I know it's not as quick as he would like. He's a little miserable. The leg didn't respond the way he wanted it to.

It's not gonna wear on my patience. I expect our guys to be perfect but I understand they're not gonna be.
