afraid best fail seen willie
One of the best things about Willie, other than his speed, is that he's got guts. You can't be afraid to fail and I haven't seen Willie back off in two years.
badly ball hit miss spots
Obviously, we didn't hit our spots today. When you miss as badly as we missed, you see what can happen. We just couldn't get the ball where wanted to.
few hit series
Obviously, we didn't hit our spots. There were more than a few at-bats this series where we pitched him where we wanted to and we got him out.
adrian coming
More and more I see Adrian coming into that role,
anticipate baseball catch experience good number people players taking time
I don't anticipate it taking him a long time to catch up. Kenji is a good baseball player, number one, and it has been my experience that good players know how to get people out.
dugout floor found last
I couldn't look at that last pitch. I found something on the dugout floor to look at.
anticipate five gets putting starter
I anticipate the starter going five or six, and Gil going two or three. When he gets through that, we'll look at putting him in the rotation.
pleased strike threw zone
I was real pleased with how he threw the ball. He was down in the strike zone and threw well.
mountain
Let's not make a mountain out of a molehill. He'll be back tomorrow.
both chance gave great hate job
I hate to use those two matchup guys, Sherrill and Putz, that early. They both did a great job and gave us a chance to do what we did later.
extra giving jamie starts winds
We're giving Jamie an extra day of rest. And this way it winds up giving him two starts at home.
ball happened talked
We don't know what happened to him. He had a 14-pitch first and a 38-pitch second, and when we talked to him after that, he said couldn't say why he couldn't get the ball where he wanted.
pulled until
We won't know until tomorrow. If I were to guess, he pulled a hamstring.
ball charge club difference extra hop knows looking mean stay third tricky
When the other club knows you're looking to take an extra base, they'll charge the ball more. When they have to charge, a tricky hop could mean the difference between getting around to third and having to stay at first.
