division gotten people tried
We tried to tell people in the off-season that this division had gotten better and would be very tough.
baseball bit game good gotten grown known people practice presence sloppy talked year
The story has always been with him that he's a sloppy practice guy, but a good game guy. He's gotten better at his practice now, and a lot of people talked to him about that, working on some drills. He's grown up a little bit and made his presence known this year in camp.
contact people sending
We haven't made contact with him, so we don't really know why (he hasn't reported). We are sending people to his house.
good guys hating heals people winning
You know we have a good clubhouse. We just had some people who were frustrated. It wasn't about guys hating each other. You know, winning really heals things.
alive people
People will say we're actually alive and that's not bad.
fear half handle lead maybe people starting
Maybe we can put some fear in them, They have a single-digit lead (over Cleveland) now, so you know they're starting to feel the effects. And that's half the battle, to see how people handle things.
ask means ought people
Means something to me, but you ought to ask some of those people out there,
almost buck deal guys heart locked march mph notorious people pitchers sees spring throwing until
If Buck sees him throwing 84 mph on March 6, he's going to have a heart attack. It's an issue, but people have to deal with it. There are going to be pitchers who are notorious for not getting going until right at the end of spring training. Guys aren't going to be locked and loaded; that's almost a guarantee.
clubhouse flow good help nice people seems talented wait
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.
bit less muscle people percent pulls season shoulder sore starting sudden talking types
To me, starting the season with people less than 100 percent is very, very scary. I'm not talking about a little bit of a sore shoulder or something you play through, but I'm talking about muscle pulls and those types of things. Those come back and all of a sudden you're out.
battling people trying
We're trying to survive. We've got injuries. We've got people out. I think we're battling pretty good.
flip people
It's wall-to-wall people here now. On the flip side, it's Florida. It's gorgeous.
good great people played send work
It's not going to be a very good day. We've had people who have played very well who we're going to have to send down. Sometimes, you can have a great spring, and it's just not going to work out roster-wise.
help nice people support talk year
It's always nice to get out and talk to the people who help support us all year long.
