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.
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.
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.
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.
change gets hoping matter
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.
hoping popping starts
If he starts really popping his pitches, then he could be ready. That's what we're hoping for.
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.
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.
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.
