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.
air blame fault good loses maybe might scare scaring stuff sudden surprise
I might be scaring him. Maybe it's my fault to go there and air him out. I might take the blame because all of a sudden I went out to air him out and said not good stuff to him. I might surprise him and scare him and all of a sudden he loses what he has. It's maybe my fault to do what I did.
continues expect good high offense player suddenly
From the beginning, with Joe, I said that the expectations were so high and when he didn't play up to those expectations, he suddenly is not a good player. Hopefully, his offense continues to get better. But we expect any player to get better every year.

The only thing I see, I just put my head down to the right and he was running to the base. All of a sudden I see A.J. running and I'm confused, I don't know what's going on. When someone said the ball hit the dirt and then I saw him running and that's it.

guys hits hitting nine nobody sudden three time tonight walk
When we were really struggling, you didn't see guys get two hits in a game. Any time someone got one hit, one walk -- nobody could put it together. Tonight when we were hitting the ball, one guy got three hits, one had two RBIs, one had two hits, all of a sudden you don't need nine guys to get a hit -- just two or three to get a hit at the right time.

I was kind of worried about him leaving the ball around the plate and giving up a home run, and all of a sudden he'd lose everything he built for the whole game. He said he was fine and I believe my pitchers.

I know the situation. I went through it. I went through it the same way. We tried to treat him the best we could. It's not easy when you play that many years in one city and all of a sudden your life changes. Your feelings are hurt - no matter how you leave.

We tried to get something done. I think he (Contreras) feels comfortable here and I don't think things are going to bother him. Jose is a tough man. He knows what he is doing, especially where he comes from.
