afraid guys start
I wouldn't be afraid to start any of those guys on Tuesday.
clicking scoring starts
It could be a while if our lineup starts clicking and scoring some runs.
bit choked nice puck
It choked me up a bit to see that. That was a nice thing by Big Buch. He was around Puck enough to really know him.
gives looking nice
It gives us those 82 wins, which is what everyone was looking for. It's not enough for us, but it's nice for the organization.
believe couple days few gave options players puck talked tough
It has been a tough couple of days and all we can do is go out and try to play baseball. We know that the Puck-man would want us to go out and do this for him. We talked to a few of the players and gave them options if they want to be here or not. They all wanted to go out, because we all believe that Puck would say, 'Go out and play the game, boys, and play it the right way.' And that's what we're going to try to do.
second time
I think the second time around we'll see where we're at here.
feeling talking
He said he was working out, on a diet, and was going to get to feeling better. He was talking about getting married.
diets-and-dieting feeling fun married talked
He said he was doing better. He talked about being on a diet, working out, getting to feeling better, and talked of getting married in June. It was fun to see him again.
foot sore
He said he was a little sore with his foot today.
behind bit mechanics pitches quality
He's a little bit behind some of the other people, but the quality of his pitches are there. Now, it's about mechanics and not rushing.
letting looks work
He's just rushing. It looks like to me he's not patient. I'm just letting him play and not think about it, see if he can work his way through some of these things.
patient
He's just rushing. He's not being patient enough.
arm chance control dictate great injury last learn pitcher whether
He's just got to learn to control everything a little better. He did a lot better last year, they told me, but he had the arm injury and it's just got to keep improving. He has a chance to be a great pitcher in this organization, whether it is as a starter or a 'pen guy. We haven't really decided. He will dictate that.
mistakes seems
He seems to be on just about everything. We're making some mistakes and he's creaming them.
