bottom guys kid last line looked
I thought he looked the same as he did last year. The bottom line is he's a big kid who can get guys out.
bit gives kid medicine run somebody
He's a kid that gives us energy. He's so likeable. He's somebody I like to run into every day. He's a bit of medicine for me.
confidence few kid learned next quite smart spring sure
So I'm sure it's been a confidence thing off and on but he's a smart kid and next spring he's going to look back on this thing and (realize) he's learned quite a few things.
bad courage game good kid literally picked threw
This is getting really old. We literally did some bad things -- getting picked off, doubled off. The kid pitched a good game, but he threw to the same place the whole game and we didn't make adjustments. You've got to have the courage to make adjustments, to live with a plan. It is frustrating.
count kids pitch strict
We have a real strict pitch count for these young kids and he was at 97. We were going to let him go between 95 and 100.
count kids pitch strict younger
We have a really strict pitch count for these younger kids.
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.
changes chemistry course developed good spring
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.
delays help rain
I think the two rain delays didn't help matters.
holes seems
We got back in the game, but it seems we never have enough. We have too many holes in the lineup to keep things going.
consistent overall results strike
Results are everything, I guess. Denny just has to be more consistent in the strike zone. Overall he was good, but could be better.
biggest issue pitching whether
Pitching wasn't the biggest issue. We know he can pitch. It's a durability issue and whether he maintains his stuff.
bit concerned deeper ready sure
I'm still a bit concerned about his stamina, his durability and getting deeper into the game. We've got to make sure when he pitches, he's ready to give us some innings. We need to get him starts. How we do that, I'm not sure.
affects depending
It affects it a lot, depending when he can comeback. If he would come back tomorrow, which isn't going to be the case, there's no issue.
