bit less muscle people percent pulls season shoulder sore starting sudden talking types
To me, starting the season with people less than 100 percent is very, very scary. I'm not talking about a little bit of a sore shoulder or something you play through, but I'm talking about muscle pulls and those types of things. Those come back and all of a sudden you're out.
baseball bit early few healthy hopefully next pitching series ship struggling time trying
We're struggling a bit right now, trying to find our way and trying to get healthy at the same time early in the year. We've got a lot of baseball left, so hopefully we'll right the ship in the next few series and play a little better baseball, pitching and defense.
ball bit close knows missing veteran worry
I think he's just missing the ball a little bit right now. He's close to whacking it a little bit. I don't worry about him, he's a veteran and he knows how to hit. He'll get his hits.
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.
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.
ball bit good rough swinging swings time tomorrow
He's having a little bit of a rough time swinging right now, and we'll see if he can put some good swings on the ball tomorrow and go from there.
bit contract figured good guys start thinking
He's got the contract thing, the whole package. When you're in your contract year, you start thinking about it. Guys that can play a little bit usually get after it pretty good. We figured he'd be on a pretty good mission.
bit couple days knee sore today
He jammed his knee a bit on the play. He called me over today and said he was a bit sore in his leg, so we'll give him a couple of days off with the off-day tomorrow.
behind bit exactly good guy location normally perfect seen stuff
We know he's the one guy who's a little bit behind where he would normally be. No excuses. He had good stuff tonight, but he's not exactly perfect right now with his location and as good as we've seen him.
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.
bit deserves leagues willie
Willie Eyre is champing at the bit to get in the big leagues (and) probably deserves a look.
bit choked emotional saw
It was an emotional moment. That kind of choked me up a bit when I saw that.
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.
bit greatest guys start
I'm not jittery. It's not the greatest thing in the world to start out like this. I'm not jittery about it. I think these guys can play a little bit and we'll be all right.
