proper
No, and I don't want to again, either. I really don't think that's the proper thing to do.
glad good
They were really good and we were really bad. I'm glad we got that one out of the way early.
david paying walking
They were walking Mike, and David wasn't even paying attention.
bats rather swinging
They were swinging the bats rather well today, and it was contagious, obviously.
good since start third
It was his third start and it wasn't very good today. But for the most part, since we got him back he's been pretty good.
again needed
Once again Scotty pitched well. We just couldn't get a big out when we needed it. We are just going through one of those spells.
bounce
Not only did we bounce back, but we bounced back again.
grown seems
It seems like he's grown up. It seems like he has so much confidence.
location tough
It wasn't one of his better starts. The location wasn't as good, but (the Yankees) have a tough lineup.
good
It was bad. We didn't play very good (in) any phase, offensively, defensively, pitching.
game played spring training typical
It was the first game we played like that. It was kind of a typical Spring Training game.
coached game hope league seen unheard
It just didn't make any sense to me. I've never played, managed or coached a game like that. To see a big league game like that is unheard of. I've never seen anything like that. I hope I don't see it again.
few heard hope leave
I've heard that a few times. I'm going to leave that up to the people. I hope that doesn't matter.
classy great kid known
I've known Reggie for a while. My son, David, and he are great friends. It's no surprise. I've known he was a classy kid for a long time.
