baseball bit early few healthy hopefully next pitching series ship struggling time trying
We're struggling a bit right now, trying to find our way and trying to get healthy at the same time early in the year. We've got a lot of baseball left, so hopefully we'll right the ship in the next few series and play a little better baseball, pitching and defense.
heard takes
We all heard about this right before lunch. That pretty much takes away from anything you do at the ballpark.
guy hire knowledge
To me, if you're going to hire a coach, he's the first guy you go to. He's been with us before. He has knowledge of these guys, the whole package.

Those two guys, I'm not really worried about. They're pretty professional about what they do.

This was a tough series. They are playing very, very well. They are a very confident group.

We kept playing. That's what this game's all about.

We think we've got a pretty good player here that is going to help us do some damage this year.

We think we have some pretty talented people that can help us do the things we need to do, and they've been good out in the clubhouse up to this point. We'll wait and see. It's going to be a long year, but up to this point, it seems like there's a nice flow going.

Why do you bring up his name? He's on that side. I don't want to talk about J.C.
bit less muscle people percent pulls season shoulder sore starting sudden talking types
To me, starting the season with people less than 100 percent is very, very scary. I'm not talking about a little bit of a sore shoulder or something you play through, but I'm talking about muscle pulls and those types of things. Those come back and all of a sudden you're out.
care close easy sit state
Torii's been very close to Puck. He was in no state to go out for a ballgame. I told him to sit back, take it easy and we'll take care of that game.
good innings news ready somewhat start stretched whether
The good news is that we'll get his innings stretched out and he'll be somewhat ready to start the season. Whether it's here right away or down the road, he'll be on that schedule.
legs outfield
We need to get him able to play the outfield and let him get his legs back.
facing knew league runs tough
We were facing one of the better righthanders in the league tonight. We knew it was going to be tough, runs would be at a premium. He made it really tough on us. We really didn't have many opportunities.
