excited fitting step top waiting watch
Everyone was so excited to watch him hit. Everyone was on the top step (of the dugout) every at-bat like we were waiting for something to happen. It's just fitting something did. It was awesome.
season
You don't want to go into the season on any kind of a streak.
early game hitters pride solo throwing walking
I take a lot of pride in (not walking hitters). Early in the year, it was really getting me in trouble. That's not really my game. My game is throwing a lot of strikes. I think that's why I give up a lot of homers. I'm always around the plate, and hitters know they will get something to hit. But as long as I keep them to solo (homers), I usually don't get hurt.
finally happy innings
I'm happy I finally got through some innings without any trouble. Those are my first two zeroes of the spring.
balls breaking change command couple fastball few good threw throw tried walked work
I threw some pretty good breaking balls, a lot of curveballs. I tried to throw a few more change ups. I was able to work on that a little bit. My curveball was real good. My fastball command was not as good as it usually is. I walked a couple of guys.
exciting few guys hits milton offense year
I think this year our offense is even better with Milton and Frank. I mean, look at the hits those guys got tonight. They already have a few big hits for us. That's exciting to see them in the lineup.
bench guys nice problem
With all the guys on the bench, we feel comfortable having them in the game. There's always someone on the bench who should be playing. That's a nice problem to have.
