ball base job maybe partly running second setup stop success
It was a frustrating day for me personally. I didn't get the ball to second base like I wanted to. It was partly my job to stop the running game, and I didn't have any success doing that. Maybe there's something I'm tipping off in my setup to keep him from running all over the place.
career guaranteed imagine point
I imagine it's frustrating when you get to this point in your career and you can't get a guaranteed contract. I can't imagine what that would be like for him and I feel for him, I really do.
home matter playing
It wasn't a matter of us playing at home or away. We just didn't do the job, period.
dispute either gets guy pitches talked throw
That is surprising. He's all about efficiency. But he's talked about how he's had to throw more pitches as he gets older, and that's part of it, too. Either way, the guy is 5-0, and you can't dispute that.
affect catching nervous pitches
That's really what I'm more nervous about, because I'll see a lot more pitches catching than I will hitting. Hopefully, it won't affect us too much.
faith plays
It'll be interesting to see how everything plays out. It's not going to be easy, but we'll see what happens. It's going to be a fight. I have faith in my team.
board care continue order skill stress sure tested tolerate
It's important to know when to order a costly echocardiogram or stress test. Managed care will not continue to tolerate this scattershot approach. Plus, internists are now tested on this skill for board recertification. Requirements for residents and other specialists are sure to follow.
help people pleasant
It was a pleasant experience; they make you feel comfortable. I'm healthy, so why not try to help other people out that need it.
bases believe hit
What can I say? I go up to hit there and I still can't believe that I'm in this situation. Bases loaded, Cubs-Cardinals, Wrigley Field. I can't believe it.
believe gone reflection year
We all feel responsible that he didn't get his 15 wins. I don't believe that it's as much a reflection on the way he's pitched as it is a reflection on the way the whole year has gone for us.
overall
Even right now, I'm still a little light-headed, but overall I feel a lot better than I thought I was going to feel,
ancient classical eager expert fiddle finds lots man musical musicians paul performer tackle tells theatrical
This one should be lots of fun, ... especially hosted by Paul Woodiel, a man with an inquisitive musical spirit. Paul is a classical and theatrical performer and an expert in ancient and traditional fiddle music. Every year, Paul and I tackle another idea, after which Paul finds the musicians and tells the story to his eager audience.
fastball great hard hitting looks seen spots struck throw time tony vintage
Vintage Maddux. He's hitting his spots well. When he struck out Tony Womack, it was as hard a fastball as I've seen him throw in my time here. He just looks like he's in great shape. And we need him to be that way.

We are very excited to have Matt joining our staff. His expertise in working with goaltenders, and his experience as a head coach who did his own video breakdown made him the perfect match for what we were looking for. He did a great job recruiting at Neumann, and we will be counting on him working closely with recruiting coordinator Lisa Giovanelli to continue to grow the Bobcat program.
