brings guy special valuable whether
He's a valuable guy to have on your club. Whether he's playing, working with the other infielders, or on the bench, he brings a lot of energy. He's a special kid.
good trying
He's been working hard. We're trying to get him going. It's good for him to have success.
hit rather walking
He's been walking a lot. We'd rather he hit it out of the ballpark, but other than that a walk's all right.
both good runs score time
He's pitched well in both starts. We just didn't score any runs for him in his first outing. Any time you go out there and give up one run in two starts, that's a pretty good job.
behind help plate strikes watched
He didn't get a lot of help behind the plate the other night, either. I watched the film, and there were a lot of strikes that he didn't get.
ball changed
He located the ball well, pitched in and out, changed speeds, made it look easy.
guy key took
That's a key guy in our lineup, you need him and he took an 'ofer' in this series. If he doesn't go, then we don't go.
bad easier last level move time year
Every time you move up a level it's a jump, so I think they're going to be better this year than last year - not that they were bad last year. I just think everything will be easier for them this year.
cold definitely hitting hope
I hope so, because it won't be cold all year. We're definitely not hitting on all cylinders.
adrenaline kicking looks pitchers
I know right now the pitchers are fresh, but it looks like nerves. I think the adrenaline was kicking a little high.
ball believe good home ryan throw took
I believe he thought Ryan was going to throw the ball to home plate. He took a pretty good hit.
