maybe might pitch thinking

Quite honestly, I think that is a long shot.
seen unusual
I've seen Elmer a lot and that's not unusual for him.
I wanted to get them all out there together.
almost bed count people thanks
Thanks to them, I could put some of my people to bed to rest, ... We were almost out for the count when they came.

extension signed time
We should have signed him to that extension a long time ago,
forward progress seeing
We think so. Then again, that's up to him. He's made a lot of progress in conditioning. We look forward to seeing him back.
