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.
glad good
They were really good and we were really bad. I'm glad we got that one out of the way early.
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.
beginning coming good seems talk
He seems to be doing better. He's beginning to talk about coming back. That's a good sign.

I think we're all very optimistic. Because of the changes we made over the winter, because of the chemistry we developed through the course of spring training, I think we all feel pretty good about where we're at right now.

Optimistically, we're hoping he'll be back in the lineup Tuesday, ... Today is Saturday. Hopefully he'll feel good tomorrow and be able to do something, see how it feels on Monday and play Tuesday.
baseball fun good
He's just a good baseball player. He's fun to be around.
afraid aggressive caught good looks plate
I don't want to take anything away from (Vazquez), but he caught us at a good time. It looks like we aren't aggressive at the plate and are afraid to make an out up there.
chance disabled good
I don't know how Costa is. I know there's a really good chance that Costa is probably going to go on the disabled list.
bullpen deciding good sure
Denny has never pitched out of the bullpen. We weren't sure what we were going to get out of the bullpen from Denny. We have a pretty good idea of what we're going to get from Woody. That probably was the deciding factor.
felt good middle threw
He threw good but, in the middle of the game, I don't think he felt real comfortable.
call good happen hitting huge
It's all about pitching. If you get good pitching, you have a chance, and they've got some hitting over there, too. It doesn't happen overnight, but it's not what you would call a huge surprise. I could see it progressing.
ball breaking fastball good threw velocity
He threw the ball well. He had good velocity on his fastball and a good breaking ball. He was impressive.
