blown command hit knows slippery spring time trying
It was his first time out after having very little Spring Training. He didn't have a feel for the ball. It was very cold, very slippery day. It was something that got blown out of proportion. I know that he knows that he wasn't trying to intentionally hit anyone. You will see that his command will be better.
becomes bigger fallen ridiculous tv
They've just fallen into the hype, that's all. They play it on TV over and over and over, and it becomes bigger than it is. To me it's kind of ridiculous really.
boys constantly fair finish good guys knock nice players preach talk until
It's nice to talk about where guys are going to finish and what guys are going to do, but to me until you knock off the big boys I think it's fair to say they are the favorites. I feel good about our chances, obviously, and preach to our players constantly about winning. But you've still got to do it first.
anderson baseman bring chance help might ourselves owe saying second sure talented veteran
I'm not saying that if we get a chance to bring in a veteran second baseman who can really help us, we should say, 'No way, we have Anderson Hernandez,' ... He might need another year. But he's young and talented and sure of himself. We owe it to ourselves to take a look.

I'm not saying Cliff can't hit him. We're just trying to get everyone in the mix. I sat down and had a conversation with Cliff and he's fine with it.

I'm glad we got the win today. Jae Seo gets his next start. Then we'll wait and see how it plays out.

I'm going to stop saying I've seen it all. Because every time I do, something else crazy happens.

I'm not going to focus on anybody. I'm just going to rotate guys in there.

I'm not disappointed. It'd be nice if he was here, but he pitched winter ball, so I'm not as concerned.
concerned feels
I'm not concerned at all, If he feels fine, then no.
believer bit extra firm guy matter time wrong year
I'm a firm believer that if you can give a guy an extra day, then there's nothing wrong with doing it. Everyone this time of year is a little bit banged up, a little bit sore, a little bit this, a little bit that. It doesn't matter because you have to take the ball.
continue
I'm just going to continue to let everyone play.
