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.
anybody beat plan
We can beat anybody with the way we pitch. And that's what we plan to do this year.
beat hit legs running
It was a hit in the gap, so it wasn't like he had to beat a play to home, but he was running good. His legs feel good.
beat guys list share
It's a big list every day. It's probably no different than most teams. We've been beat up. We had a big one with Torii, and other guys off and on. We've had our share of injuries, that's for sure.
beaten guy needs step
Our outfield's been beaten up pretty bad, and Jacque's the one guy that needs to step up. And he's been doing that.
ball balls beat deception falling good hard hit missed mixed
He had good deception tonight. The ball was going in there pretty good, he made some pitches. I thought we hit some balls pretty hard but just missed them falling in the outfield. But he pitched good enough and mixed it up good enough to beat us.
beat heck last night running tough
He had a heck of a night last night. He was running around pretty good. This turf can beat you up, as we know. It's better than the old turf, but it's still tough on your legs.
beaten guy leaders-and-leadership lost needs outfield people step
He's one of our leaders. We lost a lot of people this year. Our outfield has been beaten up pretty bad. And Jacque is the one guy who needs to step up, and he's been doing that.
division gotten people tried
We tried to tell people in the off-season that this division had gotten better and would be very tough.
ball based couple goes hole last moved night steps stop talked
We talked about it and moved them over a couple steps last night, but we're going to have to do better than that. You have to make adjustments based on who's pitching. If the ball goes through that hole a couple of times, then why don't we just move over so we can stop it?
good handled talked
We talked about a lot of things, things that weren't handled very good and we got it straightened out. It was a good conversation. We'll go about our work.
feels games schedule three throwing wait worried
We just really have to wait and see. On that schedule right there, getting in three games and if he feels comfortable throwing all three of his pitches, then he's probably going to be ready. But we're a little worried about this.
ball catching chance clubs hardest might pitching talked winning work
We just talked about being a winning team, and what we're all about here. Pitching and catching the ball is what we do best. It's what we work hardest at. We have a chance to win. We can say that where a lot of other clubs can't. Well, they might say it. But they can't say it like we can.
We just got here, give it a day.
