chance eyes kid open star struggle total
He's one of those kids. You know when a kid's got talent, but a lot of times you see 'em struggle with new surroundings. In his case, it was the total opposite. He's a kid who, if he doesn't open your eyes, your eyes are shut. He has a chance to be a star in this game.
figure good
I can't figure out what it was, ... I know after the game, it didn't feel good at all.
bench call glad good leave left nuts
I know the bench was going nuts and I thought he did leave early. I'm glad the right call was made. I had a pretty good angle, from what I saw, he left early.

Soriano doesn't just hit the ball. He affects people that are in front of him and behind him, too.
easy general leave managers players position spring understand
It's very easy to understand the position of general managers and coaches. They just don't want your players to leave spring training.
baseball career great love opportunity since
This is the only organization I've been with. This is a great opportunity for baseball in D.C., and I'd love to be a part of that. I've been here since Day One, and I'd like to be here my whole career if possible.
hoping improve last men scoring
Nothing is a guaranteed, but I'm hoping we improve with men in scoring position. Last year, we had a lot of opportunities and we didn't score. How we do that? Hopefully, it just comes with experience. We have to be more disciplined at the plate.
control goes hear stuff worry
I know you hear this a lot, but this is what we're taught: Only worry about what you can control. And all we can control is what's on the field. The stuff that goes on away from the field, you just can't worry about that.
aspect bunch create four happen longer regular relationship
Catchers have to create a relationship with their pitchers, and we have a bunch of new guys. It'll take a little longer in that aspect for me to get ready. Obviously, it's a disruption. But at the same time, it's not a regular thing. This is something that's going to happen just once every four years.
catching march six
I have a lot of catching up to do. Here it is March 18th and I have six at-bats.
field good guy hard himself impressed kid major success
It's hard to think he is still only 21 years old. You've got to be impressed with him on the field and off the field the way he handles himself. When a guy comes up like that and he is a good kid and handles himself well you know he is going to have a lot of success in the major leagues.
bad changed chase continue gotten head hit pitches starting tom trying
I've changed some things this year. It has been more mental. I don't think it's mechanical. I'm trying to continue to not chase bad pitches and look more for my pitches on different counts, ... Tom McCraw has gotten to my head enough by saying, 'Until you get two strikes, hit your pitch.' And I'm starting to do that a lot more.
couple days good guys higher money team
This team is making a lot of money right now. Just put it like that. Revenues are higher than predicted. The good thing is if these guys come up a couple of days late, they still get the experience.
coaching great iowa opportunity people raise several staff
This was a great opportunity for me professionally and personally. I already know several people on this coaching staff and how much they have accomplished here at Iowa State. This is also a great place to raise a family.
