certain experience good growing guys happen learning sure talked taste
I've talked to my guys about it. All teams, when they go through a growing process, these things happen before you get to a certain level. I told them to make sure they don't like the taste they have in their mouth. It's going to be a good learning experience for them.
guys talk
You guys must not have much to talk about.
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.
early individual start talking
It's way too early to even start even talking about individual games. Just let them play.
energy stuff talking team waste work
The more work he gets, the better he'll be. His stuff is still good. He's able to make pitches. As long as we're doing well, I don't really see the need to waste a lot of energy talking about him. He's part of the team and the team is doing well.
beat managers mean rarely talk tight trying
Just because we're tight doesn't mean we talk all the time, especially when you're trying to beat each other. Very rarely do the managers talk to each other after the game.
energy stuff talking team waste
His stuff is good. Hey, we're 9-2 and he's a part of our team and as long as we're doing well I don't feel I should waste a lot of energy talking about him.
talked wants
He wants to be the best. We've talked a lot about his approach.
boys constantly fair finish good guys knock nice players preach talk until
It's nice to talk about where guys are going to finish and what guys are going to do, but to me until you knock off the big boys I think it's fair to say they are the favorites. I feel good about our chances, obviously, and preach to our players constantly about winning. But you've still got to do it first.
breath hold looks taking talked
I hold my breath a lot. When I've talked to him about taking a day, he looks at me like I'm nuts.
against family guard happens hope talking
For the most part, you hope it's a 24-hour deal. You can't guard against it. It happens all the time. We're like family ? everyone talking together, spitting ...
change saying talking
I'm not saying we're going to change anything. We're just talking about being flexible.
bat swinging
We've been swinging the bat well all year. Everyone contributes to that.
couple good leaving pitchers ran shut
We just ran into a couple of good pitchers and they shut us down after leaving Arizona.
