arguing ball catch great job looked pitcher pitchers start turned wood
Their pitcher was aware. Wood did a great job there. Most pitchers would catch the ball and start arguing with the umpire. He was very aware. He turned around looked home. He did a great job on that play.
ball chance double hard hits playing turn
You're playing in between so if he hits the ball hard you have a chance to turn a double play. But he hit a little topper that you're not going to be able to do much with.
best game heard lunch prayers puck takes thoughts today towards turned whatever
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.
best family game hearts hoping prayers puck situation today tough turns waiting whatever
We did the best we could today and the game was whatever -- it was a game. Our hearts and prayers are all with Puck and his family and we're all waiting like everyone else is to see how everything turns out. We're hoping for the best and we know it's a tough situation going on out there.
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.
decisions easy time
It's not going to be easy decisions when it comes time to who's going to play and who's not going to play. All are getting after it pretty good.
