ask
Some of them do. I pretty much know the ones that do. I pretty much know the ones that don't. But you can go ask them.
That does make it a little more interesting.
goes guys pointing pulling rooting
That always goes a long way, guys rooting for each other, pulling for each other, not pointing fingers.
terry throw
Terry doesn't throw out 'very good' very often.
hope lingering
I just hope it's not a lingering thing.
base good handled himself hot personally playing third
I personally think he handles himself good when he's out there. He's a little more relaxed. Third base is a hot spot. He handled it fine, he did fine, but I think he handles playing out there a lot better.
bench games guys happy help ready stay thin
Being on the bench for these games won't help them get ready for season. We are thin at the infield spots, so we are very happy to have these guys stay here.
good great hands hurt quick seemed
Before he got hurt, he was a pretty good hitter. He had great hands and a very quick bat. He seemed to know what he was doing.
arm ball looks mechanical strength velocity
His arm strength looks good, his velocity is very good, but it's a mechanical thing just getting the ball down and locating the ball a little better.
coming easy fastball felt free good hand jumping location threw
His location is not there, obviously, as his fastball was jumping all over. But the ball was coming out of his hand good, he threw free and easy and felt no pain, so that's a good thing.
definitely guys looking maybe month season start
But if guys aren't even close, you've got to start looking at maybe making changes. You definitely like to give them at least a month into the season and see where we're at.
came chance early four held innings played runs sweep time win
Any time you get a chance to win a series, that's what it's all about. We had a chance to sweep them here but they played well, they came back and jumped on us early and got some runs off Lohse in the first four innings and then held a lead.
classy exactly falling hard hits needs roots
That's exactly what's going on. He's such a classy guy, and he roots so hard for everyone else. He needs to get some hits falling in for his own confidence. Not for us. I have confidence.
bit guy speed
That's a little bit scary. That is our speed guy off the bench.
