baseball charlotte port spring team wonderful
It would be wonderful for us if Port Charlotte got a baseball team for spring training.
bad early everybody head hit improve keeps rough saying spring terrible winter
Everybody keeps saying it was a terrible year, but those weren't too bad of numbers. But he did struggle. He got hit in the head early and had a rough spring because of his winter with so many illnesses. Overall, if you look at it, he's got a lot of things that he can improve upon offensively.
issues pitching spring
We had a lot of issues this spring with our pitching staff. A lot of them were gone.
ginger leave options runs spring until
I still think he runs a little ginger at times. But he's doing everything he has to do. I'm never going to say never until we get down to the end of spring training. I think you just leave your options open.
bat everybody good leaving needed playing ready spring swinging
We thought we were ready leaving Spring Training. We were playing very good and swinging the bat good and everybody thought they were where they needed to be.
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.
spring tough training
It was kind of a tough thing to concentrate on a spring training game.
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.
along bring bullpen dominating pitcher pressure seen situations spring throw
We want to bring him along slowly. He can be a pretty dominating pitcher out of the bullpen the way we've seen him throw in spring training. And we could put him in situations where he can go out and not have too much pressure on him.
bit calm couple good spring trying
That's where Lew has been working hard. There were a couple of times in spring where he just flung it again. We're trying to get him to be a bit calmer out there. He's a good outfielder. He just has to calm down.
brings kid knee playing spring strong talent tear training wear
This kid has a lot of talent and brings a strong bat. It will be interesting to see how he does in Spring Training and how his knee will take to the wear and tear of playing in the outfield.
bench brought everyday happy instead jason needs sitting spring training
Jason needs to get consistent, everyday at-bats instead of sitting on the bench here with us. We brought him up here from spring training to see where he's at, and we're happy with his progress.
ball expect fifth pitch sore spring tough
He's a tough guy. He'll pitch through just about anything. And you know what? We expect him to be sore here in spring training, just like he always is. It's no different, and we expect him to take the ball every fifth day just like he's always done.
exactly light spring
He didn't exactly light it up in spring training. We didn't know where it was going.
