couple good guys searching work
We'll work that out. We've got a good bullpen. We've got a couple guys searching right now, but we'll need them and they'll be fine.
balls best taking work
The best work you can get is taking balls off the bat, over and over and over again.
arm behind count easier erratic good pitch works
It was good to see him out there. He was erratic in his command. But he's got such a good arm that he can pitch from behind in the count at times. It will be easier for him when he works ahead.

They've got a left-hander going and he's caught Bush very well, they've worked together very well the last couple of times out.

You never want to embarrass the kid. But he needed to get his work in.
afraid common everybody experience gets good great love maybe run time together work
I think that's common knowledge. Maybe not, but it's going to be soon. Great experience -- they love to work and everybody gets along.

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?
