confidence fine good hoping last victor
Victor was fine tonight. Last year, he was good for us for a little stretch. I'm hoping he'll get back to that again. I have a lot of confidence in Victor Zambrano.
again ball confidence early guy himself pitches
We need to get him going. That's why you go to a guy early in the season, so he can get his confidence going. He'll be all right. We'll just give him the ball again and he'll make some pitches and get himself going.
bit confidence goes history hope next pick road share struggle team teams unless win
If we're going to be a team that goes to the next level, we have to play better on the road. That's the way it's been over the history of the game. Most teams struggle a little bit on the road unless you're a top-echelon team. So we hope that we pick it up a little bit more and win our share so we can have that confidence going on the road.
confidence good huge inner knows
Carlos knows how good he is. And that kind of inner confidence is huge in making it here.
confidence expect
I just wanted to take his temperature real quick. Let him know what we expect from him.... I still have a lot of confidence in him.
asset confidence himself needs player
That little butcher-boy play is a play he needs to do more often. It's a big asset for him. He just needs to have confidence in himself to do it a lot. That's his game. That's the kind of player he's going to be. That's the player he should be, so I'd like to see him do it.
overall pitches
When you don't get calls, then you don't pitches where you want them to be. But overall he pitched pretty well.
chart depth four guys knock might socks step three
We've got three or four guys on the depth chart who might step up and knock my socks off.
coming hitters react sending
With our 4-5-6 hitters coming up, I'm not sending him. I don't second-guess myself. I just react to what I see.
adding bite coffin crucial nail punishment stuff
We're not able to put the nail in the coffin so to speak, just adding on. All crucial runs, all stuff that comes back to bite you later. We must be gluttons for punishment I guess.
defensive saw spring thunder
We thought he was a defensive guy. Then in spring training, we saw he had some thunder in his hands. We'll take it.
coach great help pick pitching tweak
We think we can help him in some cases. He's always had a great arm. Mechanically, there's always something a pitching coach can pick up to tweak a little bit. Sometimes they work, sometimes they don't.
coming guys perfect talked time
This was the perfect time to do it. I always like to let the guys know where I'm coming from. We talked hitting, we talked defense. It's something I don't think we do enough of in baseball.
felt hitting morning pitching urgency work
We flip-flopped things this morning to get the pitching and hitting in before that. We're going to work on our fundamentals all spring, so we felt like that wasn't an urgency right now.
