bit choked emotional saw
It was an emotional moment. That kind of choked me up a bit when I saw that.
good range roller saw slow
Very smooth. His range is not as good as it once was, but you saw him charging in on a slow roller and making it look very, very simple.
castro catch guys middle near saw
Castro is going to catch the ball. You saw that when Castro made a play up the middle near the end of the game, and he made it look easy. Not too many guys can do that.
bunch fans guys saw
We're battling, and we got some big hits. Our fans saw a pretty fired-up bunch of guys out there today.
baseball everybody exciting huge saw team
I think you saw a pretty exciting baseball team out there. We got some huge hits, big hits, and a huge inning that everybody was a part of.
absolute bull calm expected gets raging ready rush saw
He gets a little raging bull out there sometimes. He's got to calm down. But we saw everything we expected to and more. To say he's ready for the big leagues, yeah, if we were in absolute need, he'd be fine. But we're not going to rush him.
catch held saw tries
Once he saw he couldn't catch it, he could have held him to a single. Instead, he tries to make a little too much out of it.
best doubt player saw
He's the best player I ever saw on the field, without a doubt.
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?
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.
ball catching chance clubs hardest might pitching talked winning work
We just talked about being a winning team, and what we're all about here. Pitching and catching the ball is what we do best. It's what we work hardest at. We have a chance to win. We can say that where a lot of other clubs can't. Well, they might say it. But they can't say it like we can.
We just got here, give it a day.
