came fears guys hard impress trying
One of my fears was that with young guys trying so hard to impress us that they are not going to say if they feel something. My fears kind of came out.
harder lead learn learning pitch
There are times when you have to learn to pitch with the lead. To me learning how to pitch with the lead is harder than learning how to pitch when you're behind. That's what we need to learn how to do.
behind guys hard hate playing
That's the hard thing, he's not having a chance. The guys who aren't playing every day, you hate to see them behind when they come back.

advantage best hard manager somebody work
It would be hard to say you have an advantage over anyone. The idea of a manager is to get the most out of your players, and everyone does it differently. I'm just doing it the best way I know how. That doesn't give me an advantage over somebody else. This is just my method. It may not work for other guys.

It's just (that) we're trying to get a good look at the two younger guys at center. If you're playing Chris out there a lot it's hard to get a good look at them.
