He's good. He gets these guys off their butts. That's what I like about him.
easier focus kevin ready season
Kevin said that in a way, he was glad. It would make it easier to focus on getting ready for the season in Seattle.
chemistry feels fresh spring
It feels fresh and it feels good. During spring training, you can see it a little fire, a little more chemistry here. That's what you need.
everybody gates says
We've got to come out of the gates and show that we're for real. Everybody says it's not how you start, it's how you finish. Yeah, that's true. But you've still got to set a tone.
couple pitchers ready throw
There are a lot of pitchers who need to throw 100 pitches. But that's not me. I just need to throw some fastballs, a couple of sliders, a couple of splitters and I'm ready to go.
early glad longest seemed
You know what? That was the longest inning I've had in a long time. It seemed like 100 pitches. I'm glad it's early and got it out of the way. Don't want many of those, man.
good needed timing
We needed this one; we all needed it. It was a good meeting. I like it, the timing of it. We need something to get us going.
helped less pick
He helped pick out the stuff. He's been here less than a year, and that's not enough time. So he has to go through it again.

I fell behind 2-0 and had to get a strike there. The ball was not where I wanted it, no doubt. I just blew it. I blew it. We played big today.
four last time walked
I don't even know when the last time I walked four guys, period.

I didn't bear down. It would have been nice to sweep those guys but it was a bad day. It's the first time this has happened in a while.

I don't know what to tell you, man. That one pitch is costing me. ... It's hurting everybody here.

He's got great personality. That's the first thing you notice about him. He's a great guy.

He's doing absolutely fantastic. He's so excited back there, and I love that.
