confident experience
With all the experience he?s had as a manager, he?s confident in the way he does things.
talked together
We got together and talked some things out.
arm balls curve feeling throw
I didn't throw any curve balls today. I didn't like the way my arm was feeling in warm-ups.
upset
He's upset about today. That's obvious. We should be upset about it, too. (Losing) 10-2, it wasn't a pretty game.
finish good necessary positive season stop teams trying turnaround whatever work
Good teams find a way to stop the bleeding. For whatever reason, I think we're just trying too hard. Things aren't always going to work out, and they haven't, but you've got to do the things necessary to do the turnaround and get back on track. We just haven't been able to do that. We need to, because we're getting to the end of the season and it's important that we do finish on a positive note.
ear guys sure
I'll be in Kenny's ear as much as he'll let me be, and I'm pretty sure the other guys will be, too.
feeling longer relate seems
I know what he's going through, I can relate to him. I know the feeling of going out there and having a long season. It seems much longer than it really is.

aim ball hard perfect strike threw throw trying worrying zone
I had been trying to aim the ball a bit. So I just threw as hard as I could. I wasn't worrying about trying to make a perfect pitch. I just wanted to throw it in the strike zone and give them a different speed. It was very effective.
best days games good hitting obviously past shut teams
I've been getting a lot of runs. This is just one game, ... Obviously the past two games we haven't scored any runs. But that's going to change. We've got a good offense. But there's going to be days where even the best hitting teams are going to get shut out.
picked runs scoring several
I've been getting a lot of runs. They've been scoring a lot of runs for me. They picked me up several times,
anyone entire single team
I don't like to single anyone out. But I feel like the entire team was frustrated.
good taken track
You need some rules, of course. You've got to have order. At least he's taken the players' input. He's made a good impression, so far. Which isn't surprising, considering his track record.
ball breaking coming fastball good looked pressure putting threw time trying
It looked like he was trying to feel for his breaking ball a little bit, that's what it looked like he threw in the dirt. Fastball was coming out good. Probably been putting a little pressure on himself, trying to do too much. First time out there, for any pitcher, it's the first time out there. You don't know what to expect. You're just trying to go out there and get a good feel for it, really.
