watching worse
It would've been worse if I was watching the game, but I didn't see any of it.
alright looked
He should be alright by the weekend. They looked and they didn't find anything of concern. It just stiffened up.

I've seen it happen. You think you're going to get better, and you get worse.

He seemed to be healthier today, his legs and everything. He said he needed work and threw 52 pitches.
ballpark balls dominate guy hit miss question spoiled
No question there was one guy who could dominate this ballpark and hit balls out ? that was Barry. We miss him on the field, an MVP guy. We've been spoiled here.
doctors given green hands stick
He's still in the hands of the trainers and doctors. When we're given the green light, we'll stick him in there.
confident found guys hard pressed surrounded
He's more confident now, ... He's not a hard thrower, and he was surrounded by hard-throwing guys in the minors. I think he probably pressed a little bit, but he's found a place as a sinkerball-slider-changeup guy.
balls hit run saw spring
I saw balls that were hit where he had to run and stop. I didn't see much favoring in the knee. He's so much better than he was in spring training. That was a real workout.
looks movement tide
It's looks like there's a lot of movement going on, at least we are. I don't know how long the tide is going to rise.
amazing believe complain fly game ground hard hurt loafing played run running saw tough
I never saw him loafing to first. He used to run hard every ground ball, every fly ball, ... It was amazing the way he played the game. Because sometimes you just don't feel like running hard when you think it's going to be an out. If you see him before the game, you didn't believe he was so tough a player. He used to play hurt every day. Used to complain he didn't sleep. But when the game started, he was just marvelous.
answer drama intense
I'll answer it tomorrow. It's been a very intense game. ... All the drama hasn't sunk in yet.
anytime beat bring everybody game guy knows seen superman win
I feel that even if we don't win another game, we beat Superman in the ninth. That's something I haven't seen in a long time. Anytime they bring that guy in, everybody knows the game is over.
early needs
It's so early and he needs his at-bats and we need his at-bats.
decent good might people slider
He had a pretty decent sinkerball and a good slider ? and good hitting. He can hit, by the way. Some people might besurprised.
