barry baseball coach game good later opening sooner
It is good to do that, but sooner or later Barry is going to play in the field. Because on opening day, what will we do? ... It's not like it's going to be every game he's DH. For us as a team, it can't be that way.
barry both bring dull fans front life seat type
(Sunday), I didn't see a lot of life ? both teams. It was a dull type of game. We need some life. Barry will bring some expectations. When he comes to the plate, he will bring life to the fans and the team. I know I'm going to take the front seat (today).
accuse barry effort good guy hard hustling
Even without Barry playing, we thought we were going to have a really good season. The effort was there. I don't have a guy to accuse of not hustling or not working hard all year.
barry maybe
I know Barry doesn't feel that good. I'd like to see maybe one more at-bat.
barry forward heard looking nice
I'm looking forward to him being here tomorrow. It was nice to see not-quite-everyone out there. I don't know why Barry isn't here. I heard 'personal matters' like everyone else.
awesome barry knows swing
That was an awesome pitch. But Barry knows how to swing like that on a fastball.
anytime barry batting beaten hit line managers memories walk whoever
Anytime Barry is up at the plate, he's a threat. Opposing managers have memories of the times he's beaten them. They are going to walk him. Mo, or whoever is batting after him, has to do what he did, hit a line drive.
barry hard
It's been hard to get Mo and Barry in the same lineup all year.
awesome barry game gave knows last mph night playing swing
He gave him a 96 mph fastball. In his last at-bat, it was a 41-year-old playing a day game after a night game. That was an awesome pitch. It was not easy. But Barry knows how to swing like that on a fastball.
barry four good innings outfield supposed trip
Barry was supposed to go four at-bats, but we had some long innings at night. I just didn't think one more at-bat or one trip to the outfield was going to do that much. He got a good workout.
barry patience pitches
Mo's really not getting many pitches to hit, ... He doesn't have the patience of Barry Bonds.
barry bonds fun loose since spring whatever
They are having more fun than any spring since I've been here, and that's important. It's loose around here, for whatever reason. Even Barry Bonds is having fun.
barry guy pitch throwing
They pitched to Barry with a guy throwing 98, 97 mph. ...If that guy doesn't pitch to him, who will?
barry needs
Barry needs his at-bats. We've got to get him going.
