push
It's something you don't want to become chronic. It doesn't make any sense to push it.
camp great guys positions push veteran wide
Those positions are wide open. We have a veteran in Reese and two young kids. To me, this camp is great because guys will have to push themselves.
early push reason
It's early in the season, and there's no reason to push him. You don't want it to become chronic.
accept fifth fourth push
Don't accept being the fourth or fifth outfielder. Don't accept being the long relief. Push each other. Take someone's job.
games miss push
He's sore, he's going to miss some games anyway, so why push him.
camp fighting great guys push spots taken
To me, this camp is great because guys will have to push themselves. We have two spots taken and about 40 guys fighting for the rest.
ability abundance eight push teams
We have an abundance of young starters. Other teams would probably like to have eight veterans, but we have eight young starters. They have the ability to push each other.
anyone chance create healthy push pushing
What I like about it is they have a chance to push each other. To me, the accountability to each other is more important than accountability to anyone else in that room. And when they are pushing each other, I think you create a very healthy environment.
bounce learn move special sure worried
I'm sure this will be a day he will remember. And this will be a day he will move on from and learn from. He's a special kid, though. He will bounce back. I'm not too worried about Hanley.
concerned daily deal hear issues none personal tend upset voice worries
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.
best interest
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.
fan hurts takes
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.
best exactly larry product sure team
I know that Jeffrey and Larry will do the best they can to get me the best product on the field. We're not exactly sure what the team is going to be, but I know they're going to give me a winner.
approach conducive number
I like his approach to the plate. It's conducive to a number two.
