We think we have some pretty talented people that can help us do the things we need to do, and they've been good out in the clubhouse up to this point. We'll wait and see. It's going to be a long year, but up to this point, it seems like there's a nice flow going.

angle asked believes general help hitters impressive manager nice watch whether
Whether the general manager believes that he can help me out of my pen, I haven't asked yet. That was impressive to me to watch him come right at the hitters with a nice angle to the ball.

A lot of things got straightened out. It was a good conversation, ... Both parties learned a little bit about what each other is thinking and what's going on. It helped me. I'm sure it helped J.C. I learned a lot from him.
arms couple help maybe people power pressure
That's why getting some people up here is going to help. Maybe a couple power arms like a (Travis) Bowyer and maybe a (Francisco) Liriano will help take the pressure off as we go here into September, where we don't have to kill those guys.

A presence like his can only help. He's a pretty classy man. He told me he's ready to do whatever it takes to help. If I need him to help some young kids, he'll do that.

He's fighting everything. He's really pressing. We need to figure out how to help him get through this thing.

I'm not going to expect too much of him. We want to take it nice and slow and not put too much pressure on him. I do believe he's going to help our team sometime this year, even if he starts the season in the minors.
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?
