Every time you start trying to figure something out, somebody gets whacked. So we're just going to let it go down to the end.
bring bunch damage figured guys looking past respected role
We've had a bunch of young guys in that role in the past. He was looking for a job. We always respected him. He's done enough damage to us over the years, so we figured why not bring him over to our side.
baseball cure figure good home light maybe shining sometime
That's your shining light right now. Maybe this is a cure all. Maybe we'll come home and play better baseball. Sometime we are going to have to figure out a way to play better on the road, too, but first come home and play good baseball and then go from there.
both early figure four three
No, no. I just wanted them to get their three or four at-bats early in the game, so I put them both out there. We'll figure it out here soon.
bring figure pitcher players
If you can figure out a way to get a pitcher up here, with all of our players down and hurt, and tell me who you want to take off this roster to bring a pitcher up here .
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.
fighting fights-and-fighting figure help
He's fighting everything. He's really pressing. We need to figure out how to help him get through this thing.
business care figure guys hard holes joke
We joke around here a lot, but we have a lot of holes to fill. We have a lot of business to take care of, ... It's hard to get them in order. We need someone to end the ballgame. And then we need someone to set him up. But we have to figure out a way to get to those guys. We don't need those guys if we can't get there.
figure hits slow
How many hits did they have? They can kill the ball. We have to figure a way to slow them down.
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.
