guys offense pick score starters
Guys are trying. Guys are out there playing. You've also got to score some runs, too. Our starters haven't been getting it done. Our offense has to pick them up.
five four guys ready throw
Guys aren't ready to throw every day. Guys aren't ready to throw four or five innings.
good hope
He's a good ballplayer. When he's healthy, defensively he's all over the field. All we can hope for is he's rusty.
He restarted his life. There were some differences (with the Twins).
wait
We're all waiting. We need to wait and see what happens.
bits lots pieces possibly trying
We're all trying to find out as much as we possibly can. There have been lots of bits and pieces but nothing substantial to find out what's really happening. We want to find out what's going on before we make any announcements.
guys individual matter talented worried
Those guys can play. I'm not worried about it. No matter who you put out there, you're going to have a talented individual out there that can play.
bench driving good healthy wants
That was good enough for me. He wants to play. It's frustrating for him not to play. It was driving him crazy. On the bench in Chicago, he was going nuts. Hopefully, we can get him healthy and keep him on the field.
That was wrong. We'll get that straightened out.
business decision definitely less playing team travel
That would be a little hard, having a team in your own division, playing them 19 times. But that's a business decision for them to make. It definitely makes less travel for us, but we'd be playing a team in our division.
cleveland hope huge win
That win was huge for this ballclub. We go to Cleveland and we still have hope.
raised yelling
That was (coach Paul) Molitor yelling at the umpire, not me. I just raised and said, 'What?' and he told me to get out of here.
coming guy guys prototype quality run
That wasn't the prototype guy you like coming off the bench. You like a veteran, but he was one of our better guys doing it. He had quality at-bats in that role. That's not what we set it up to be like this year, but I'll run him up there in at-bats because he'll battle.
anywhere everyday kyle offer player position somebody unless
That wasn't even part of the plan. Kyle was not going anywhere unless we had the right offer for somebody to get an everyday position player in here, or a DH.
