You don't see that too often. He's human, I guess.
approach david nice players
It's a different approach nowadays. That's why it's nice to see players like David Wright come into the system. He has that approach.
expect hitter hitting people prefer third
I told him that I'd prefer him not to do that, ... I know that I'm hitting third and a lot of people expect the third hitter to never bunt. I don't think like that.
base bunt feels felt game hit maybe might prefer rather swing
I told him that I'd prefer him not to do that. He felt he could maybe get a bunt base hit and, like I said earlier, if he makes it, then we're OK. But even if he makes it, it still might not be the right play.. ... He feels that's part of his game in his mind. But, personally, no, I'd rather him swing the bat.

I told the guys in the bullpen they're going to get used.

I told them we are here to work hard and get ready for a special season. Hopefully, we've moved up the ladder a little bit.
comforting glad wants
It's very comforting to have him. He wants to be the best, and we're glad to have him.
nice round totally
It's not like he's totally out of whack. Sometimes you just have a nice round of B.P. and you get a different perspective.
guys handled himself kid
For a kid getting his first taste, he's handled himself pretty well. Ideally, those are the guys that may come quick.
contact five good six tonight
It's there. We made good contact five or six times tonight and we didn't have much to show for it.
game kept obviously series stretch
It's obviously a very important stretch for us, and we'll just play it as we go. That's the way we've kept it all year, one game and one series at a time.
continue forward francisco looking next playing road san three trip
It's only three games. But, I'm looking forward to our next road trip (San Diego, San Francisco and Atlanta). We're playing well and we have to continue to do that.
