bee catcher flew home oh run saw
We had a bee swarm come through. Flew over the dugout, right over home plate. Saw the catcher run from the Dodgers. Oh my goodness, I was gone.
april games home month nicest played six year
We've played six games at home (13 on the road). April is the nicest month of the year in Florida, right? Doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me.
guy hit home last month nice obviously project year
He showed for a month last year that he was a guy who can hit some home runs. If you hit home runs, you obviously are going to put up big numbers. He had 11 in a month -- basically, in 100 at-bats. If you project that out, that would be real nice for any club.
great guys home slide
He just got in there. It's a great slide. You tell guys never to slide headfirst into home plate, but it worked.
coming ground home mind rushed tried trying
J.J. got the ground ball. I think we tried to do too much trying to get too outs. I don't mind him coming home there because we're only going to get one out. I just think he rushed it.
dig home plate
You look back, and that was a real important run. I would dig home plate out if they let me, but I think they would get a little upset.
beat home run second solo third
The solo (homer) doesn't kill you in the second inning. It's the home run in the third that really hurts. Howard beat him today.
five guys hit home tampa
If I was to get the Tampa job, I'm not inheriting five guys that can hit 30 home runs. I'm inheriting a lot of guys who have to do the little things.
home jumping
It was kind of calm. I didn't see them jumping up and down at home plate. They were good.
good saying
There is probably not a lot of good that can come from me saying anything.
shave
With our guys, it shouldn't be a problem. They're probably too young to shave anyway.
pressure youthful
We're youthful and we need to put pressure on the other teams.
experience finish fire great houston might picked teams thrown top
We're thrown right into the fire, Houston and New York. Why not? Two teams that are picked to finish at the top of their divisions. Obviously, we're going to have to play them at some point. Might as well play them the first week. I think it's a great experience for our young players.
best great guys learn triple until
To me the best way to learn is on the job. You could keep guys down until they're 24 and 25 and they have great years in Triple A, you still don't know if they can do it here.
