guys step
They've had some guys step up and play very, very well for them,
bit evaluate games guy guys punish quite
I'm not going to punish a guy just because he's going to the world games. It's quite an honor. But it does make it a little bit more difficult. I'm not going to evaluate him while he's in the world games. I'll be evaluating my guys here.
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.
earlier guys perfect pitchers pitching sat science staff year
It wasn't a perfect science earlier in the year with our pitching staff and Joe. There were issues. We sat down with the pitchers and we sat down with the catchers about how different guys like to pitch. That was something he had to learn.
against force guard guys happy letting looks nice odds player talk trying
I want the whole player back. You have to guard against letting him get out there and trying to force too much or letting him do too much early. It's nice to see and I'm really happy that he's back out there running around, because when it happened, there was a lot of talk that some guys never come back from this. It looks like he's beating the odds right now.
coming friday fun guys night situation
It was a big situation like this, these guys coming into town, a big Friday night and he withstood everything. That was fun to see.
bit guy speed
That's a little bit scary. That is our speed guy off the bench.
ate guy shut throwing totally
Their guy totally shut us down. A big, tall guy throwing sliders and sinkers. He totally ate us up.
baseball facing game great guys lay team won
We won one game here. We didn't quit, we didn't lay down. We just didn't play great baseball here. The guys are trying. You're facing a team that's hungry.
guy hire knowledge
To me, if you're going to hire a coach, he's the first guy you go to. He's been with us before. He has knowledge of these guys, the whole package.
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.
deserves good guy
The way Lew is playing, he deserves to be out there. He's been our igniter lately, the guy that's really been playing. He's doing a lot of good things for us so we have to keep him in there.
guys sure together wonderful
This is pretty neat. I'm sure getting back together for these guys is nice. It's a wonderful thing.
afraid guy heck street voted
Street is the guy I voted for. He's a heck of a competitor, and he's not afraid on the mound. He's pretty phenomenal.
