time
Time is dwindling down, ... We can use a jolt right now.
game opinion protecting thrown
Getting thrown out of the game is protecting my players. I just voiced my opinion and I was thrown out.
ball deal game hear piece protecting thrown throws umpire
Getting thrown out of the game is no big deal for me. Just protecting your players. I thought the ball was low. You say your little piece and the umpire doesn't want to hear it and he throws you out of the game.
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.
ear goes rest
Ideally, we'll just see how it goes and play it by ear the rest of the way,
base coached third
I coached third base for 10 years and I don't second-guess my third base coaches.
confidence good huge inner knows
Carlos knows how good he is. And that kind of inner confidence is huge in making it here.
reason risk
Carlos is getting better, but there's no reason to risk anything here where it's so cool, not when he's come this far.
adapt guys hit
Carlos can hit anywhere. He's one of those guys who can adapt to any situation, I believe.
assume grain natural salt
But take all that with a grain of salt because you assume that's not the natural thing.
call takes whatever win
I wouldn't call him a swingman ... he could be in the roation by the end of the year. Nothing's etched in stone. We're just doing whatever it takes to win games.
