Walk A-Rod? And pitch to Giambi? How about that one?
clicking confidence experience games good struggle winning
This is a good experience for them. Everything isn't clicking just yet, but they'll be a part of a lot of winning games someday. They're young guys. They struggle with their confidence sometimes.
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.
games guy help win
He's a guy that'll help us win some games.
everywhere faced game games guys handled newspapers played proud team themselves toughest tv worst
This game was so crazy. It's probably one of the worst games we played in the whole streak. I told the guys after the game that they handled one of the toughest times ever in baseball. A young team faced TV and newspapers and everywhere they read they were scrutinized. I'm proud of them. It was tough, but the guys handled themselves with class.
five games hits struggled win
You're not going to win a lot of games when you get five hits and one run. Offensively, we've just struggled more than you'd like to see.
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.
flow game guy
It was the other extreme, but a guy like Santana can do that to you. He can make things look real lethargic. The game just didn't have a flow to it.
game played spring training typical
It was the first game we played like that. It was kind of a typical Spring Training game.
everybody games good knew looks lose sure
Everybody was sure we would do it, but I knew better. There was no way we would lose 100 games two years in a row! 63-99 looks real good right now!
couple defensive games good mainly playing time
He'll play a couple of games at short, but mainly he'll play second. He'll get a lot of playing time there. We want to see what he can do offensively, we already know he's a good defensive player.
words
He understands that he wasn't ready. Those were his words to me.
quite
Quite honestly, I think that is a long shot.
glad good
They were really good and we were really bad. I'm glad we got that one out of the way early.
