best early good hitters longer strong trend wait
Everyone is strong early in the season. I think it's best to wait a little longer and see if the trend sticks. I just think some good hitters are off to some good starts.
above below finish good nice nicer season strong
It's nice to finish strong and end the season on a good note. It's nicer to be above .500 than below it. But .500 is mediocre. We want to be better than that.
last nice saw stronger sustain together
It's nice to be able to go through that together because we saw that we were able to play, to sustain and get through it. We were OK. We're a lot stronger than we were last year.
against bats expect finish funk rest seemed strong swing watching
It seemed like all we were watching was Cy Young work. Obviously, we didn't swing the bats too well against him, so you can't expect to win like that. We've got to see if we can get something going, get out of this little funk we're in and finish up strong the rest of the trip.
aaron balanced stronger
We are stronger and more balanced with Aaron there. Aaron makes the whole nucleus that much better.
gotten hands hits strong throws
He's gotten some big hits for us. He's strong and he's got those big, strong hands and if he throws them on you he can make something happen.
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.
physically strong throw
He has to feel real strong physically and throw a little bit. You don't want to play around with a hamstring.
likeable straw strong
He has that magnetism. He's a big man, a strong man, a likeable man. He's the Straw Man.
expect goes
You don't know what to expect when someone goes through something like that,
miss
We're going to miss (Mark) Mulder, ... That's good, I guess, huh?
dictate knows mound needs ready schedules wants whatever
We're going to let Pedro pretty much dictate when he's ready to get on the mound or do whatever he wants to do. We're going to let him take his time. He's a veteran. He knows what he needs to do. We don't need to put any schedules on him because that can always change.
playing until
We're going to keep playing until the end,
bullpen looks
We're going to keep him in the bullpen. I like the way the bullpen looks right now.
