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?
coming goes move next
By next Tuesday, we should have a roster move with him coming back if everything goes well.
fun grabbing guys moves pull share
Having guys pull for each other, everyone grabbing an oar, you can have a lot of fun. It's an old T.K. saying, ... 'If everyone grabs an oar and moves his share of water, we'll be OK.' That's what we're after.
ball dugout good guy move stood talked
He didn't even move. He just stood there at second. I talked to him in the dugout and he said he thought the ball was going to go foul. You still would be running. To me, that's not a good enough answer. So I just put the other guy out there and we move on.
blow carry few learned move past
He's not going to carry that with him. He learned over the past few years to just blow things off. It's over with. You're not going to do anything about it, so you move on. He's fine.
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.
ball fans minnesota painful sure twins
I'm sure Minnesota Twins fans are hurting. It's very painful right now. We all know where Puck's going to be: He's going to be up there whacking the ball in Heaven. So we're going to be OK.
came camp confidence goes liked wide
I liked the way he came back up with confidence. I think (the job) is wide open, but he goes into camp as the front-runner.
spinning truth
I'm kind of spinning a little bit, to tell you the truth.
It's not going to get any easier. We've got to find a way to get it done.
