ball excited forget hits home knows needs time
Any time Jose hits a home run, I try to forget it real quick. I let him know that he needs to forget about it real quick, so I don't get excited about home runs. He knows I don't like for him to hit the ball in the air. But he's got some pop.
bullpen coming
The bullpen is coming along. It's been pretty solid.
ahead continues liked needs obviously pitch seen
Bannister still needs to make this club, so I'm not going to get ahead of myself with all that. I have liked what I've seen from (Bannister) all spring. If he continues to pitch well, obviously he has a chance.
pressure
That's what we want to do. We want to keep adding. Keep the pressure on.
change drop
That's why you don't panic. That's why you don't overreact. We know very well that things can change at the drop of a dime, so we'll just keep playing.
That's why you don't panic, ... That's why you don't overreact.
good
That's why we don't panic. That's why we still feel good about this team.
catcher earlier personal
That's just the way it falls. I told you earlier I wasn't going to get into that personal catcher thing.
bleak change clubhouse matter positive stay
No matter how bleak things look, in this clubhouse we're going to stay positive and keep playing. Things can change around.
ball inch problem
An inch here, an inch there, that ball is through. I don't have a problem with that.
impressive poised second
The thing you like about him is he's very comfortable and very poised in the field. Yeah, he didn't play second today, but that's impressive to me.
billy bottom came closed great guys job liked line nice picked picking pitchers scratch throw today
The thing I liked about today more than anything was we picked each other up. I really thought the pitchers did a nice job of picking guys up and we had to scratch for some runs, but the bottom line is that Billy came in and closed it on a great throw by Carlos.
against bit feeling pitches
The thing about Pedro is that even if he's a little bit gassed, he can make pitches for you, ... I had a feeling that against some of those young, inexperienced hitters, he'd be able to make a pitch, and he did.
bring delivery guy pitch somebody unorthodox
Sometimes you come in with a guy who is unorthodox in a delivery and he'll get you an out. Bring somebody in with a different look and come in with a pitch you don't see everyday.
