playing start streak
The team's been playing well and we'll just start another streak tomorrow.
continue good hands reason starting third
We're working on little things with his hands and feet. Nothing major. He's starting to feel comfortable with the things we're doing. He's still learning. But he's young and he'll continue to work. There's no reason he can't be a good big-league third baseman.
assume both guys laying leaning maybe nasty start toward
You kind of flinch a little bit, when you see can see that both of them have a bead on it. When the guys start laying out a little bit, leaning toward the ball, that's when you assume that maybe something nasty could happen. Very scary.
early individual start talking
It's way too early to even start even talking about individual games. Just let them play.
rushing starting
It's like starting all over. He's got to get back in shape. There's no use rushing him.
bat extended gets good legs monitor news onto playing spring starts swinging training
It's good news that he's getting back onto the field. But even when he starts playing extended spring training games, we still need to monitor how he looks. You want him, hopefully, swinging the bat well and have his legs under him so when he gets back, he can contribute.
bullpen job nice starters unless
Our pitching. I told them that we're not going to do anything unless we pitched well. Our starters have done a nice job and our bullpen has been much better.
aaron fresh spring starting stretched
Aaron is fresh and stretched out from starting in spring training.
depends hard help starts tearing year
That's hard to say. He's young. It depends on what kind of year he starts out with. If you look down and he's tearing it up, and we need someone to help us out, yeah.
billy bullpen games innings starter turn win
This is how we're going to win most of our games this year. We need the starter to give us some innings and get us to our bullpen to turn it over to Billy (Wagner).
adrenaline coming credit deserves feet fresh good keeping kid nice poise starts
Jake is getting his feet wet, not to get crazy. But it's nice that he's doing well.... That's why I like fresh blood, young blood. When the adrenaline starts flowing, sometimes good things can happen. The kid deserves a lot of credit coming up here and keeping his poise and making a contribution to what we're doing right now.
cautious felt foot innings loose starting took
He's been really banged up with his foot and his back's been stiffening up on him, ... With over 220-something innings this year, I just felt like we'd kind of be cautious with him and he was starting to stiffen up. Couldn't really get loose during the game, so I took him out.
benefits compete experience gets great loves start
He's going to start in Triple-A. The experience is great for him. The more experience he gets at this level, he benefits from it. He loves to compete and he's not intimidated too much.
assuming knows program start step top
He's going to start to step up his program a little bit. He knows he has to start getting ready. He didn't actually say, 'I'm going to get on the top (of the mound),' but I'm assuming that he might. He probably will. We'll see.
