arm chance coming gives good happened innings jon kid league misses opportunity pulled seven sudden took trust
Before I got the job, Jon never had the opportunity to go more than six, seven innings. They always pulled him out, and all of a sudden I give him the chance and he took advantage. I think this kid's arm is there. This kid gives 200 innings every year, he never misses a start. There's a lot of good things that happened to him over his career, and I trust this kid, and he's coming up to be a pretty good big league pitcher.
alex chance gives good throwing
Everyone was concerned, because I was only throwing 85, but it was good today. It gives me a chance to keep Alex sharp.
believe best came chances decision guys manager playoff ready sorry weeks
We have two weeks to make a decision on playoff roster. He doesn't have to show me. He's got to show his teammates. You don't have to show me anything. I didn't come here to make friends. I came here to be the best manager I can. You got to make those guys believe you are ready to go. If you're not ready to go, I'm sorry and I'll take my chances in a different way.

It's just tight. I don't want to take the chance of losing him for a few weeks instead of a few days.

That's important for every manager. You play good against your division, you have a better chance to have a better year.
chances gut kid
This kid showed me he can do this job, do the role. I'll go by my gut feeling. Hermanson's opportunities will be there, but the way Jenks throws, I'm going to take a lot of chances with him.
