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.
believe guys press seen start struggle tries
We're due. We're overdue, ... These guys can hit. We've all seen them hit. Believe it or not, what happens, when you struggle as a whole, everyone tries to do that much more. It may not always look like that but you start to press a little bit.
alex best guys hope looking plenty seen stunt
Alex made some adjustments to his stance. I just see him better than I've ever seen him. He's more aggressive. He's not getting overpowered at the plate. I see him as one of those guys getting better and better. This is going to make it tougher, because he's not out there every day. You hope it doesn't stunt his growth. Right now you're looking at it as what's best for the team. He'll get plenty of action.

But if you've been paying attention and seen what he has done, he has got a pretty good argument on his side.

I don't worry about these guys, ... They've shown up every night all year long. I haven't seen us tank it yet and I don't expect to.

We've been swinging. We like the way our offence is built.

We've been swinging the bats pretty well. I really like how our offense is built.

We were raving about him two months ago.

We hit some balls hard right at guys today. That's baseball, we also benefit from that, too.
against beat brains built cause compete division expected gate good key optimism slow team teams trying year
We expected to have a better team than we've had here in a while. The key is to play to good against the teams you're going to compete with all year because there's been optimism built up, expectations and you want to keep that going. You don't want to come out of the gate slow and let the teams you're trying to overtake in your division beat your brains in cause then everybody's like where's the progress?
breathing runs
We scored some runs to give him a little breathing room. He pitched good. He got out of some big jams.
blow hoping last pulling serious
It would be a big blow if it's something serious. We're hoping not. But I mean, even if it's nothing serious it's going to set him back. We don't know for how long. I mean, we're pulling for the kid. And if it's something serious, then we've got to make adjustments like we did last year.
