everybody needs repair
In my opinion, yes. I don't know how to repair it, but in my opinion, yeah, something needs to be done to have everybody always on the same page.
proud
I'm as proud of him for that as anything he's done. He emptied the tank.
assume sort understand
I only know what was said, and that sort of thing, and I understand how they do things. I would assume it was probably pretty close.
left rest sure
How can I say this? I'm not sure I'm going to retire. That's all I can say. When I said that, I left off the rest of the story.
discomfort
He's probably still going to be in some discomfort during the game.
good help maybe opportunity spring training
Gator's been a big help to me over my 10 years here. It was an opportunity for me to come down to spring training and maybe help him out a little bit. At the same time, I thought it would be good for me. So here I am.
hopefully
We're not out of this thing. We're hopefully going to go get two from Billings and see what happens,
ask felt good protect threw
Overall, he threw well. We couldn't ask for too much more than what he did. We wanted him to go 80 pitches, and that's what he had through five. He felt good and wanted to continue, but we've still got to protect him a little bit.
obviously somebody time
I think it's time for somebody new. I've been here for 10 years, and they obviously want to make some changes.
change help somebody time
I think it's time for somebody new, ... I've been here 10 years. They obviously, probably, are going to want to make a change anyway. I'll help them out a little bit. This is one change they don't have to make. I'm making it for them.
best
I think it was very unprofessional. When you're getting your butt kicked, sometimes you have to take it the best you can.
leave people satisfy sets
I would tell him what it's like and I wouldn't leave anything out, ... You've got to satisfy two sets of people here and it shouldn't be that way.
ate laugh
It ate at me for a while, ... but I laugh at that, too.
against hard tries
I think, maybe, at times, he tries a little too hard against them.
