good last managing practicing running saw time tomorrow
I saw it on the scoreboard. I didn't have a lot of time to think about it because I was managing the last two innings. Tomorrow is the big day to make plans. He's been practicing and running around. That's good enough for me, of course.
bonds bring good guys shown
We had injuries, Bonds and (Armando) Benitez. To this day, Bonds hasn't shown up. And a lot of guys didn't have a good season. So you bring up the young guys.
good matt morris
The acquisition of Matt Morris is a good, good one. He's great.
again believe close good happens including people pitching played players serious teams
When the good teams played they were very close games. Pitching dominated. When that happens anyone, including the U.S., can get beat. I believe that if it happens again with this kind of tournament, some of the people including the players who didn't believe it was serious will have to believe now that it is serious.
barry feeling good guy knew knowing
To see Barry here, knowing he's going to go back to the same guy ... you never knew if he was going to ever play again. It's a good feeling for the guys.
early game good kept
He was OK. Not his real good outing. Nevertheless, he kept us in the game even with the early runs.
boss far good knows since worked
He is his own boss when it comes to that. He has been since I've been here. He knows what he has to do with BP, outfield, running. So far it's worked pretty good for him and for the team.
feels good needs
He needs to and he feels good enough to do it. I think it was good for him to come back to the team.
batting good help hit hitter third
Batting third could help him hit .300 for the first time. He's too good a hitter not to have done that.
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.
base besides extra good reaching taking tremendous
Barry, besides what he does with the bat, he's a tremendous base-runner. He doesn't have speed, but his sense of reaching a base or taking the extra base is still there. He's a good judge.
compete fact game good leave mean pitch ready swing tells
If they pitch to him, he's going to swing a good bat. I'd pitch to him if the game doesn't mean anything. ... The fact he told me to leave it the way it is, 'cleanup,' tells me he's ready to compete out there.
care champions compete country cuba cup earned fans good loses olympic players region stature wins
I don't care if Cuba wins or loses every game. I just want to see them play. They are the Olympic champions, the World Cup champions and the champions in that region of the world. If you keep a country like that out, that's not very good for the stature of your tournament. Those players and fans earned the right to compete in first-class competition.
care good offensive team
I don't care how good an offensive team you have. If he is missing, a lot is missing. ... I know I feel better, and I'm not even in the lineup.
