against baseball dangerous gets good hitter hitters situation
That was big. Sherrill gets a big strikeout against a very good hitter and then Mateo gets one of the most dangerous hitters in baseball in a situation like that.
adversity capable everybody players year
That wasn't what we thought he's capable of. Sometimes young players are better players from the adversity that they have to go through. We'll see with Jeremy. But that wasn't the year that everybody expected.
charge hit saw slow
That was not hit hard, but it was no slow roller. I saw him charge and he made it look easy.
ball caught concerned good received
I wasn't concerned about the strikeouts. He caught the ball well. He received the ball well. He made a good play on a short-hop (pitch in the dirt) to get the first out of the game.
blessed cursed entire expect face fact meet realize walks
I think every day he walks out and you look at his face you realize you expect too much out of him because he's only 19 years old. He's going to be cursed and blessed his entire career. There are going to be big expectations for him. He's blessed in the fact that he probably can meet those expectations more times than not. It's kind of a double-edged sword.
caught indecisive land saw talked
I think he was a little indecisive once he saw the ball. We have talked to him. He just got caught out in no-man's land and couldn't get back.
couple frustrated hopefully innings last settled threw
I think he got a little frustrated and got out of his rhythm, but he settled back in and the last couple innings he threw well. Hopefully this will get him going.
cart discuss good putting talk
We have options. It wouldn't do any good to discuss them before I talk to Bill. That would be putting the cart before the horse.
contract talked
We haven't talked to Mel and we haven't talked about Mel. He's still under contract with the Yankees.
ball luck rough threw work
I thought he threw the ball well today. He had some rough luck that one inning. I think he threw the ball well, and we were ale to get his work in.
afraid guy role swing
We need a guy in that role who's not afraid to swing the bat. And this guy is not afraid.
balls four gave hit quick
We gave up four quick ones and never got back in it. We didn't even hit many balls hard.
late runs
We've got to keep those runs from scoring, especially late in the ballgame.
anyone certainly defender good hard model plays role tremendous wants
He's a good player. He's a good hitter, a good defender and a good baserunner. He also plays hard all the time. He certainly is a tremendous role model for all our young players, or anyone else who wants to watch.
