It doesn't change ... no matter when or where you see Puck, when he comes around everything is brightened up. Now we are just all hoping that he gets through this thing OK.
days five hoping knew spring throws
It wasn't that complicated five days ago. But we knew it was going to get a little entertaining here. We were hoping we could get through spring without injuries, but they are going to happen. It just throws a little wrench in there.
best family game hearts hoping prayers puck situation today tough turns waiting whatever
We did the best we could today and the game was whatever -- it was a game. Our hearts and prayers are all with Puck and his family and we're all waiting like everyone else is to see how everything turns out. We're hoping for the best and we know it's a tough situation going on out there.
hoping strength
He has no strength in it, ... We were hoping that he would be a little better, and he's not.
hoping likes lingering sit
He likes to play and he'll play through anything, so when he has to sit out, you know he's hurting. That's a little scary. I'm just hoping it's not a lingering thing.
hoping popping starts
If he starts really popping his pitches, then he could be ready. That's what we're hoping for.
expecting fastball good hoping slider threw throwing using
He threw as good as we were expecting and hoping he'd throw, ... He was throwing the fastball, using the fastball, locating the fastball and working off of that. Once he does that, his slider and changeup are unbelievable.
hoping hurt
All we're hoping is that he doesn't hurt himself.
hoping hurt normal
All we are hoping is he doesn't hurt himself, because it's not the normal progression for him.

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?
good handled talked
We talked about a lot of things, things that weren't handled very good and we got it straightened out. It was a good conversation. We'll go about our work.
feels games schedule three throwing wait worried
We just really have to wait and see. On that schedule right there, getting in three games and if he feels comfortable throwing all three of his pitches, then he's probably going to be ready. But we're a little worried about this.
