change couple course few guys looking starts until
We like a couple guys down there in Triple-A that can come up and do that job. We're not looking at it as a one-time deal. Of course if the guy comes up and struggles, we may change that. But we want the guy to make a few starts until A.J. is ready.
allowed changed gold hill lose might mind move saw second time
Any time you lose a Gold Glove, that's a hit. But that allowed us to make that trade. We saw Hill play enough second base, and he was good. If we had any doubts, that might have changed our mind about making a move or not.
changed hitting path spread stance strong
He changed his stance a little bit. He's a little more spread out, a little more crouched -- in a strong hitting position. I see a shorter path to the ball.
change life-changing darkness-within
If you don't change direction, you end up where you are headed.
guy hit leagues minor results seen
You don't look at results in the minor leagues because I don't think I've ever seen a guy go down there and not get hit around.
call days fort hold job win year
We're going to need them. There are going to be days in the year we are going to have to call on them to do the job and hold the fort so we can try to win a game. They did that today.
hot somebody trying win
We're going to give this a go. That's our plan. If somebody is really hot and we're trying to win games, it may come down to that.
difference offence start
What a difference offence makes. That didn't start out too well, down 4-0. If we didn't have offence, we don't come back in that game.
difference offense swinging
What a difference an offense makes. From day one we've been swinging the bats, and that was big. If we don't have the offense we have, we don't come back.
chance key limit mistakes plays routine trying
We're going to make our mistakes this season, but the key will be in trying to limit those. We want to make the routine plays when we have a chance to make them.
filled good moving needs
We're moving in the right direction. We filled some needs and now we need to go out there and see how good we are.
bat hoping spark
We're hoping he can give us a little spark with his bat when Gregg Zaun doesn't play. He's part of the future.
might
We were already down two there. If we were tied, we might have done something differently.
good offence shape
We're in good shape because our offence has been very good at this point.
