anyone player sit survived type wait
I was the type of player who had to do the little things to win. Anyone can sit around and wait for the three-run homer. But I had to do the little things. I had to hit-and-run. I had to squeeze. That's the way I survived as a player.
ability clubs create driven expose hold runners runs sit wait weaknesses
create runs when we need to. We will look to expose weaknesses of other clubs. There are a lot of clubs that don't have the ability to hold runners on. I'm not going to sit back and wait for runs to be driven in. If we can create runs, we're going to do it.
anyone coach wait watch
I just can't wait to watch him work. I can't think of anyone better to coach the infield.
ready says wait
We'll just kind of wait to see how he feels. If he says he is ready to go, he's ready to go.
came daily deal issues none personal phone tend upset waiting
None of us know what it's like to be Pokey Reese and the issues he has to deal with on a daily basis, so I'm not upset with him. We don't know if something personal came up that he had to tend to. We're waiting for a phone call.
arms games great progress until wait win
You win with pitching, and there are some really great arms in this camp. I can't wait until we get going in the games and see the progress they make.
fun watching work
Watching our shortstops go to work was kind of fun to watch.
believe camp pitch
We're going to see how he does out of the bullpen. It's just kind of a different role, some flexibility for us. He has pitched very well in camp and we believe we can pitch him anywhere.
enjoyable hard meetings talk watch
What's really enjoyable to watch is how hard they play. We talk about it every day and we have meetings about how hard we're playing.
carry innings whether
We're going to have innings for all our starters, whether we carry 11 or 12 pitchers.
ahead asleep base call fall forget guy hard knowing learned runners thinking
We fall asleep and the guy scores. You can't forget who's on base. I call it always thinking ahead and knowing your base runners and knowing what the run means. We learned the hard way. Again.
fall guy
We fall asleep, and the guy scores. It can't happen.
catch concern played ways
We're a ways away with him. My concern with him was he already played catch and didn't tell us.
center tough
We have to get one of our center fielders going. They are young, and it's a tough game, but we have to get them going.
