dealt focus move people time
It is something that we've dealt with and I think he's dealt with it real well, all things considered, and it's time to move on and get the focus back on getting people out.
couple days gone hit quite time
He only got hit a couple of days ago and it's going to take time to look at things. There was a lot of swelling, but it has gone down quite a bit. There's still time.
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.
excited feeling guy help pain time
He's so excited about feeling no pain for the first time in so long, but he doesn't want to go back to that. This is a get-lucky guy. If this guy is right, he could really help us.
bad exciting happened liked obviously people time took top won
The big thing was Curt Schilling, he was obviously on top of his game. It's disappointing. A lot of people took time out of their day to be out here, and we would have liked to have won the game. It was a pretty exciting day. Only one bad thing happened today, and that's that we lost.
anybody balancing knows people pressure realize talking texas time tough trying
It's a tough time for Coco. He's balancing a lot of things and trying to make a lot of people happy. I don't think people realize the pressure on this guy. There's a lot more going on than just the Texas Rangers, and anybody who has been in the Dominican knows what I'm talking about.
great man people quick sharp special time
He's a special young man. He's sharp and has great people skills. He's a quick learner. J.D. will make the decisions, and most of the time he's been right.

It's the time of spring where guys are getting their arms in shape and their legs under them. We'd like to see them start showing what they're capable of doing in their next couple of outings.
concerned seem
They don't seem to be concerned about it that much.
beckett chance gave great obviously quality ran top
Kam was outstanding. He gave us a great chance to win, but he ran into Beckett. Two big body, quality starters, and obviously Beckett was at the top of his game.
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.
feeding frenzy mound negative positive side spring throw
It's Spring Training. I know how that goes, ... First, you throw on the side and you get a positive or negative feeding frenzy. Then you throw off the mound and get a positive or negative feeding frenzy ... and when you're done, you throw all of it out the window. It's not just Chan Ho. It's everybody.
capable carried consistent doubt form gets good
It just hasn't carried over so far. It will be good for him to get consistent at-bats down there and get back to the form that we need him to be in, and he's capable of being in. There's not any doubt that if he gets it going like he's capable of, he could be back very soon.
bumps came few good proud
I was proud of the way he came back. He showed us some good things. He just had a few bumps in the road.
