barometer base best bit couple emphasis games good guys knocks relax spring training turn whatever
It was good to see him relax a little bit and get going. Obviously, spring training is not the best barometer for how you base these guys but, you know, he was 0-for-20 or whatever and he had a couple knocks so that's why you don't put a lot of emphasis on games like this because you can turn it around in one day.
couple good leaving pitchers ran shut
We just ran into a couple of good pitchers and they shut us down after leaving Arizona.
along couple credit dedicated deserves eggs hard helps himself kid opportunity stays sure tough tribute walking worked
I've been kind of walking on eggs with him because I really haven't had an opportunity to give him much rest. It's a tribute to him that he's worked as hard as he has. After having a couple tough years with injuries, he's dedicated himself to making sure he stays in the lineup every day. Being young helps that, but there's a lot of maintenance going along with that, and I think the kid deserves a lot of credit for doing that.
couple
He's going to be fine, just a couple of outings.
backed beat couple last took
He kind of backed into that because he took off the last couple of days. So if it wasn't for that, Julio, I would have beat you out that year.
contract couple days help might
He'll be here in a couple days -- it might even be tomorrow, ... There's nothing in his contract about it. We just told him we wanted him back. We want him to come back and help us.
sure wrong
I'm sure he's going to play in the Cup. Why not? He's fine. There's nothing wrong with him. Nothing serious. So why not?
continuity perfect solid somebody step
In a perfect world, yeah, you'd like somebody to step up. To have that solid lineup is what you like as a manager. You like to have that continuity going through it every day.
good guy knew
I knew he was fine. It was good to see him out there, good to see what the guy can do for us.
pushing
I like him a lot. He's pushing everybody. I like what I see.

I'm legit now. I won't be breaking Billy Martin's or Earl Weaver's records, but that's been building up for a long time. I don't want to get a reputation, but I want to protect my players.

certain continuing solid spring style toward training work
It's Spring Training, so you get your work in. But we're still continuing to work toward a certain style of solid play, how we go about our business. I want to see some of that, too. Spring Training isn't just about stats.
second win
It's not going to be a thing if he comes here where we say, 'OK, fine, put him at second and let him play,' because we want to win games,
