change might year
From year to year, I might change different things. But right now, I'm just going to play it as it comes.
narrow trouble
I don't think you can look at one leader, ... You narrow yourself and get into trouble when it's only one guy. Because if he isn't always there, what are you going to do?
expect manager salt worth
I expect us to win. I'm not about making predictions. But yes, any manager worth his salt is going to say, 'I expect to win.' That's just me. That's how it's always been.
ball blessing break played plenty resting sets spring strong time training winter
I don't think its sets him back. He played winter ball so he had enough throwing. It could be a blessing in disguise. If you take a little break before spring training he could be strong after resting up. He'll have plenty of time to get ready.
mean
That doesn't mean a whole lot to me.
doubt fact guy hope love pray track
Look at his track record. No doubt about it. I love the fact he's on our staff. I hope and pray he's the guy we all know.
few game winning
(Matsui) has to get back into game shape. The kid's doing really well defensively and we're winning a few games, so there's no rush, that's for sure.
pitches totally track
Listen, when he pitches if I don't see what I like to see I'm not going to be totally patient. You go by your track record.
bouncing stuff
He was probably just bouncing around with exercises, stuff like that. His stomach's a little upset.
bottom erratic gathering himself line pitches seen
He was effectively erratic I guess. That was probably the most erratic we've seen him in a while. But the bottom line is he made pitches when he had to make them. Sometimes he may get out of sync, but he has a way of gathering himself when he has to.
ball fly nice
He was impressive. It was nice to see the ball fly out of his hand.
figure flexible loop
I already told Loop we're going to be flexible in that role, ... We'll see how it goes. It's not something that we can figure out because there's not enough time.
almost ball bit expected quite ready seen vintage
I almost expected him to do what he did tonight. I know he wanted the ball and he was ready for this. I have seen him quite a bit in the past, and it was vintage Trachsel.
feet keeping key
He was a little anxious. Sometimes a young guy, when you want to get your feet wet, you can be a little erratic. The key for me is keeping us in the game.
