baseball bit game good gotten grown known people practice presence sloppy talked year
The story has always been with him that he's a sloppy practice guy, but a good game guy. He's gotten better at his practice now, and a lot of people talked to him about that, working on some drills. He's grown up a little bit and made his presence known this year in camp.
deserves good guy
The way Lew is playing, he deserves to be out there. He's been our igniter lately, the guy that's really been playing. He's doing a lot of good things for us so we have to keep him in there.
beat catcher games happy risk
The risk of a catcher getting beat up in the World games is pretty high, and I'm happy to have my young catcher here.
andy concern individual pitchers pitches talking themselves watches
Andy watches it all the time, now we're talking to individual pitchers about doing it. They do go watch it when they come out of the games. They watch themselves a lot. It's not so much a concern about tipping pitches but making better pitches.
andy talking watches
Andy watches it all the time. Now we're talking about it with each pitcher.
And we were very entertained by that in the dugout. That was very entertaining.

Another great pitched game by Johan. Another loss for a good pitching performance.

There was a line halfway around the building at around 5:15 waiting to get in. It was amazing to see the excitement that the fans have.
best guys might players replace sending teams
Scary. Some teams might be able to get away with it, because they have depth. We're sending all of our best players over there - or some of them. I don't know how we're going to replace those guys if something happens. But you just have to live with it.
giving guys month rotation trying
Radke is going to be in the rotation, Silva is going to be in the rotation, Lohse is going to be in the rotation and we're just trying to get them through it. We're in the first month of the season, so you've got to keep giving these guys the ball. What they've done around here and how well they've done around here for such a long time, you just have to keep giving them the ball.
last stamp
Really, how many different lineups did we have to write up last year? It's a lot better when you can stamp a lineup down -- well, makes it a little easier, anyway.
best game heard lunch prayers puck takes thoughts today towards turned whatever
Our thoughts and our prayers are turned towards Puck in Arizona. We all heard about this before lunch and that pretty much takes away from anything you do at a ballpark. We did the best we could do today and the game was whatever ... it was a game.
concern games guys losing throw
Our concern is, how many guys are we going to have to throw our games? We've got two split-squad games early, and now we're losing another pitcher.
runs
Offensively, we didn't do too much. But we scored the runs when we had to.
