Our thoughts and our prayers are turned towards Puck in Arizona. We all heard about this before lunch and that pretty much takes away from anything you do at a ballpark. We did the best we could do today and the game was whatever ... it was a game.

It takes us an hour and a half to get to Sarasota and Bradenton, and you can add 15-20 minutes more with the traffic. A team in Port Charlotte would be perfect.

A presence like his can only help. He's a pretty classy man. He told me he's ready to do whatever it takes to help. If I need him to help some young kids, he'll do that.

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.

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.
changed close good pitching playing team
We were playing a very good team here with a changed lineup and I think we battled pretty good in the series. Our pitching is pretty close to where we need it to be. I think we're going to be fine.
