Boy, the infield is like concrete out there. Ground balls get by you in a hurry. We can use the good weather to get our work in but you'd like to see a little rain at night to soften up the fields a bit.

You get nervous, but you can't play scared. We've got to get better. That's how you get better. We were awful shaky in the beginning and guys started relaxing a little bit and got better. I was pleased with the way it worked out.

base baseball complexion guys hit home seemed sitting team traded trying work
When we traded Richie, the whole complexion of the team changed. We always seemed to be sitting back and trying to hit the home run. Now we've got guys in the lineup who work the counts, get on base and manufacture runs. That's the kind of baseball we want to play here.

He knows what he's doing and knows what he wants. He grew up in this game and knows the game extremely well. I think he still has to work on his defense, but he will play every day.
baseball breaking command continue fastball game issue mechanical struggling work
He's really struggling to command the baseball right now. He's struggling to command his fastball and his breaking ball. It's just a little mechanical issue that we'll continue to work on. But he got a little better as the game went on.
