playing row team won
It's unbelievable, isn't it? We won two in a row from a team that has been playing pretty good.
depends game good opportunity played spring training
He's played really well. He'll come into Spring Training with a real good opportunity. A lot of it depends on what we do in the winter, but there's not a whole lot about his game that I don't like.
case couple haunt innings last
I don't know what to say. When you don't get innings out of your rotation, it's always going to come back to haunt you. That's been the case the last couple of days.
team
It's unexplainable, really. I don't think we're a playoff-contending team by any means, but I don't think we're this bad.
swing
I don't know what to say. We didn't swing the bats.
feeling knew pitch
I don't know what he did when he went down to Triple-A, but there was just the feeling that he knew he could pitch up here. ... He's just been a completely different guy.
care few gone hate home hopefully permission personal taken
He's gone home for personal matters. That's all I can say about it. He's just got permission to go home and take care of a few things. I hate to be so vague, but hopefully this will be taken care of sooner, if not later.
ballpark bit few gets hearts maybe pitches settled spring stadium stuff threw throwing time training
He was good. I know he threw a few too many pitches in the first inning, but he settled in. You know, I think a lot of times the first time in a real stadium other than a Spring Training ballpark gets your hearts started a little more -- maybe throwing through his stuff a little bit -- but I thought he was really good.
games guy help win
He's a guy that'll help us win some games.
eye move public stupidity
I think when you're in the public eye you unfortunately have to get that kind of stupidity. But that's the way it is. You just live with it and move on.
beginning coming good seems talk
He seems to be doing better. He's beginning to talk about coming back. That's a good sign.
affects split
It affects his split and his slider. It's more precautionary than anything.
coming depending few guess guys players year
Depending on what year it is, with the young players we have coming up in the organization, I would guess there's going to be a few of our guys in that game.
funny mike running
He was running funny, but Mike has kind of a funny gait anyway. We don't think it's serious.
