That was a great throw. He caught the ball and he got it to second base in a hurry.
We can't get into a slugfest with these guys. We have to manufacture, we have to run the bases hard and we have to run them well. We're confident we're going to do that and that's the type of game we have to bring.

We haven't played consistent baseball. Our offense has been spotty at times.
He's a good defensive third baseman, and he's quick and he's got good range. Early on this spring, he wasn't moving his feet like he can, but you can see today what type of third baseman he can be.
But we're not going to get there if we don't play better baseball.
The opportunities and the game situation are going to tell the eventual tale of how many attempts he has. But I'm hoping that it presents itself as much as it did because that means he's getting on base as part of our offense.
Umpiring of baseball has been around since Day 1 and some calls are missed, but most of the time they get it right, ... Instant replay in baseball? I don't know if it is ever going to be such a plus that is should be a part of our game. There are plays that are going to be bang bang. But you have to absorb that and play good baseball.

It was a swing, our catcher caught it, Doug Hennings called him out. Somewhere a long the line because the guy ran to first base he altered the call.
We're good at situational baseball. And running the bases well is more important offensively than anything we do.
We're going to have to do a better job on offense, getting guys on base early and doing some of the things we want to do,
Adam Kennedy is the best defensive second baseman in our league.
Joe has an incredible baseball mind and a tremendous ability to communicate with players on all levels. That's a combination any player should appreciate.
