determine exams fort happened hold hopefully length move second time
Preliminary exams say the same thing. We'll let (Dr. Andrews) determine that and then go from there. It's big. The second time it's happened to him. You've got to move on. We've just got to hold down the fort and hopefully he's not out for any length of time.
ahead move survived tough
We survived it, we move on. There's more tough ones ahead of us.
happened move second throwing time
It's big, it's the second time it's happened to him. Nothing you can do about it, you've got to move on. . . . He was throwing good, he was throwing hard.
learned move ready year
It has been a long year but I look back at it more with a sense of satisfaction and optimism. I think we've learned a lot and we're ready to move forward.
move
He's got to be able to move laterally.
coming couple days few ground later move next taking until week
He's going to do a couple of things here today, move around a bit, but it won't be until later next week that he'll be taking ground balls. He's still a few days away from coming back.
best decision moves worst
He was the best we had out there. It was his game. Sometimes your best moves backfire and your worst moves don't. Naturally, if you make a decision and it doesn't work, the other move probably would've been better. That's just baseball.
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.
breaking command focus hitting lose move pitches start
The first start of the year, there's a lot of focus on him. He wasn't hitting with his breaking ball. His command was off. That was all. He was in and out. He'd move the pitches and then he'd lose it. But he was OK.
ahead college drafted easier everybody low move says start
He can do some things, but the big thing he got drafted for was his bat. Everybody says he can hit. When you draft college players, it's easier to move them faster. Usually you start them in low Minors and they're ahead of that.
offence
We've been swinging. We like the way our offence is built.
bats offense swinging
We've been swinging the bats pretty well. I really like how our offense is built.
break facing
We just want to break it up for them a little bit. Get them out there facing some competition. It revs things up a little bit.
months
We were raving about him two months ago.
