couple eddie felt hold last matter talked
We had really pitched Eddie a lot the last couple of weeks. We talked before the game, and he told me he felt good. But we just felt that we should hold him out, no matter what.
against batting considered happen intrigued managing realm since talk unless
I've always been intrigued by Ichiro batting third. I was when I was managing against him, and I have been since I've been his manager. It's not out of the realm of possibility that it could happen (someday). There's nothing like that being considered now. And there won't be, unless I talk to Ichiro first. And that's not on the calendar.
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.
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.
send talking
We'll probably send him to the instructional league. I'm not sure, but we've been talking about it.
anytime compliments dan few good phony rarely talks ultimate walks wilson worse
When I say Dan Wilson is one of the good guys, for me, that's the ultimate compliment. Very few of us, in all walks of life, rarely say and do the same thing. There's nothing phony about Dan Wilson. He talks the talk and walks the walk. Anytime someone like that leaves, we're all worse off for it.
mental specific talk
There are some specific things we wanted to talk to Felix about. They're more mental things than anything else.
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.
ask talked
I think it was a little indecisive. You would have to ask him. We talked to him.
days drop innings kid limit remains rotation settled skip talk throwing
How we're going to limit his innings remains to be seen. We can drop him down in the rotation ... when we have days off, we can skip his turn. There's a lot of things we can talk about. We haven't settled on any one strategy; it may be a combination of plans. But the one thing is that we don't want this kid going out there throwing 250 innings.
control innings talk
I'm not going to talk about the umpire. Let's talk about something we can control, ... The first two innings were very non-typical of his outings this year.
certainly coming side spring talk
If you talk to Jeremy, he'll tell you that offensively he's disappointed. He certainly was not what we had anticipated coming out of Spring Training, but on the other side of it, defensively he has been outstanding, more than what we had anticipated.
caught glad hit sure
We weren't sure if he caught it just before he hit or as he hit. After he hit the ground, we were glad to see him get back up.
