best coming easy facility four games gets input key love people playing three tweak
With these new facilities, the key is how they look after three or four years. This place gets better every year. With their input and ours, we tweak things every year. It makes it easy to get 'B' games. People love coming here and playing 'B' games because we have the best 'B' game facility in baseball.
people struggle
We struggled. A lot of people struggle in Boston.
capable continuing extend four good help nights pitching three
It was just not his night. Three out of four nights ... I'm not going to extend him there. He wasn't pitching as good as he's capable of. He's scuffling. There's no sense in him continuing to scuffle if I can help it.
drive five hit kenny line pitching until
Kenny was pitching well until he got hit by that line drive and he battled his way through five innings.
chance five good innings kevin pitches took tribute
Kevin made good pitches when he had to, but it took a lot out of him. It was a tribute to him that he was able to get through it for five innings and give us a chance there.
pitching unlike year
From a pitching standpoint, I'd like to see him get down there and get back on the horse, see him getting the ball. It's been unlike any year he has ever had in professional baseball. He's had to make a lot of decisions.
good hit kenny pitches seen
Kenny was effective. They've seen Kenny so much. They hit some good pitches for hits. He bent, but he didn't break.
outing pitcher second sees time
The second time a young pitcher sees the same team, that's what made today's outing even more impressive. They have some idea of what you're going to do out there.
concern
There's a little concern about who's going to play first.
tough
Eraser is going to make it tough on us.
february looking
I can tell you what we're looking at right now on February 20-whatever, but that will change. There's a long way to go.
anxiety behind feet knows
He's got some anxiety I'm sure, first game. I think he'll get better. He knows he has to be better. Hopefully, he'll get this one behind him and get his feet on the ground.
coming outside park
He's coming from probably the most hitter-friendly park outside of Colorado, so this is an upgrade.
chest good morning walking
He's been walking around all morning with his chest puffed out. Good for him.
