attached five forget form gets gives guy last pitches ron three thrown
(Bench coach) Ron Wotus gives me all the pitches each guy has thrown over the last five days, ... We have a form attached to the lineup card. ... There have been some times a guy gets up even two or three times and doesn't get in the game. We don't forget about that.
afraid below games grave guys last losing reality seemed
I was afraid of last place, ... There were a lot of fears. Below .500 -- I never thought I'd see that here. Then, losing 100 games seemed like a possibility, then 90 games. All of those things could have been a reality here. The grave seemed like a reality here, but the guys didn't let it happen.
last month ran running spring time training waiting year
I'm not waiting on his swing. I take that for granted. The thing is running the bases. He ran better than in spring training and in the last month of last year. At this time last year, he was limping and complaining about the knee. It's much, much better than a year ago, or in spring training.
hitting last national october parts practice problems since super
He's a super hitter, but we play in the National League. You've got to practice out in the field, too. I know he's not going to have any problems hitting the baseball. He never did. It's the other parts of the game, after not doing it since October of last year.
four last seen
It's been happening, I've seen it for four years. It may be louder. It's not a whole lot more than the last four years.
everybody last life likes love missing since velocity
It was very difficult. He just hasn't been the same pitcher. His velocity was down, and he had no life on his fastball. That has been missing since last year. Personally, I love him and the way he plays. Everybody likes him.
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.
knee last ok saw swinging
Last year, I saw him favoring his knees. I didn't see him favoring the knee today. I didn't see it when he was batting. When he was swinging the bat, it was OK with me.
atmosphere entirely last seems year
It's an entirely different atmosphere than last year when he was limping and had to go back to California. Everything seems to be all right. But it's so early.
bonds feels last year
He told me he feels very, very good. Bonds is having fun. Last year he didn't because he was hurt.
certainly everyday glad good happen last next package season
He certainly has the package to be an everyday guy, we think. I don't know what will happen with Ray. I'm glad he's here. He had a pretty good season last year. I don't know what will happen next year.
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.
eighth fourth last until wait year
There were many times last year that I had to wait until the eighth inning to get him that fourth at-bat and get him out of the game.
barry fun last looked outfield played practice today year
Barry played in the outfield during practice today and looked pretty good. Barry is having fun again. He didn't have any fun last year because he was hurt.
