biggest changed level seemed work
I don't think his at-bats have changed a lot. Sometimes, you just don't get hits. The biggest thing is you keep your frustration level down, and he has seemed to work through that.
coming concerned happy knee played seemed stronger
He's been outstanding and he's played very well. We were a little concerned about his knee coming into camp, but that's seemed to get stronger and we're happy with the way he's played.
seemed top
It's kind of mind-boggling to us because he seemed to be on top of his game. I know he's much better than that.
game last locks seemed seen starts top twice
It's kind of mind-boggling because he seemed to be on top of his game tonight. He's done it twice in his last two starts and the organization has never seen him do that. He usually locks in and focuses more.
ball bit breaking easy pitcher point score seemed
It seemed like the left-handed breaking ball was a little bit more of a strikeout pitcher than the right-handed breaking ball. The point I made is that it's not easy to score runs.
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.
chance score
We had a chance to score in the ninth, we just didn't get it done.
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.
catch ok regular sure
We're just being protective. He was OK to play today. But we're going to make sure that he is OK during the regular season. He will catch Saturday.
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.
