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.
beginning coming good seems talk
He seems to be doing better. He's beginning to talk about coming back. That's a good sign.
committed continue count decent himself looks needs seems work year
He seems committed to getting himself in decent shape. Health-wise he looks good. He needs to continue to work on his conditioning, so we can count on him being there all year long.

His tempo, his motions, everything. It just seems like he's grown up.
grown seems
It seems like he's grown up. It seems like he has so much confidence.
behind consistent early game offensive seems
It seems like every game we play we get behind early and we just can't -- we don't have any kind of consistent offensive attack.
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.

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.

Pitching wasn't the biggest issue. We know he can pitch. It's a durability issue and whether he maintains his stuff.
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 concerned deeper ready 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.
affects split
It affects his split and his slider. It's more precautionary than anything.
