against brought good knew looking numbers people
They brought some people in here that have good numbers against Johan. I was looking at it before the game. I knew Molina had done well.
brought everybody funny himself laughs
He's a pretty funny guy. He's brought about a lot of laughs already, so we're just going to let him play. He claps for himself and now he's got everybody clapping for him.
awhile brought everyday good kept missed needs rather sit year
He needs to go down and get everyday at-bats rather than sit up here on the bench. He's missed a year-plus of baseball. We brought him up here and kept him up awhile to see where he's at. He's doing pretty good after being out a year of baseball.
bench brought everyday happy instead jason needs sitting spring training
Jason needs to get consistent, everyday at-bats instead of sitting on the bench here with us. We brought him up here from spring training to see where he's at, and we're happy with his progress.
dugout fun game good loved manage manages playing watching
I loved watching Ozzie manage in the other dugout and he manages just like he played. He had fun playing the game and he manages having fun and that's the way we should all try to do it. I think he set a pretty good tone.
bet forget people sure talking throughout year
I'm sure there'll be a lot of people talking throughout the year about Puck. You can bet that we won't ever forget him.
deal hoping season spring start sure tough
I'm sure hoping it's not going to be like that all year. That would be a tough thing to have to deal with. That's why you take precautions now in Spring Training, so once you start season everyone is healthy.
people sure wrong
I'm sure he'll get votes. If he doesn't get votes, then the wrong people are voting.
along doubt later sure
I'm sure he'll come along and say he can hit. I don't doubt that a bit. If we need him to go out there later in the game, he'll go out there.
ball fans minnesota painful sure twins
I'm sure Minnesota Twins fans are hurting. It's very painful right now. We all know where Puck's going to be: He's going to be up there whacking the ball in Heaven. So we're going to be OK.
came camp confidence goes liked wide
I liked the way he came back up with confidence. I think (the job) is wide open, but he goes into camp as the front-runner.
spinning truth
I'm kind of spinning a little bit, to tell you the truth.
It's not going to get any easier. We've got to find a way to get it done.
decisions easy time
It's not going to be easy decisions when it comes time to who's going to play and who's not going to play. All are getting after it pretty good.
