clubhouse couple expecting great guys last people reasonably saying
There are expectations this year. I'm not saying great expectations, but I think people are reasonably expecting us to be a lot more competitive than we've been the last couple of years. I know the guys in the clubhouse have a different feeling.
best teams
Those are the two best teams in the division. We'll find out where we stand.
good pitcher step teams
We need a pitcher to step up and be a stopper. A lot of good teams have that.
batting practice
I'm not a batting practice home-run hitter. I think I'm done with it.
feeling hard hope nice notice realized reciprocal
I realized something like this could happen, so you go out there, play hard and hope someone notices. It's nice to get that reciprocal feeling that they notice what you're doing.
bit games knowing last losing position press win
Being in all of those games and being in a position to win some of them, it's just frustrating being on the losing end of most of them. It's a little more frustrating knowing that you are probably a little bit better than you were last year. You should be doing better, but you're not. I think it makes everyone kind of press to do a little more than they probably should. I think that's compounding the problem.
bit early game hoping kinds knew picks sails sucked sure took type wind
Being down that early kind of took the wind out of our sails and I'm sure everyone was a little bit tired, a little bit sore. Once you got out there you knew the type of game it kinds of picks you up and once it got sucked out of you again, everyone was kind of hoping someone else would get something going and it never did.
pitching runs score starting
In years past, (talk) was more that we had to score more runs for our starting pitching. Now, it's more that we're going score some runs, can the starting pitching keep us in games?
definitely help obviously premium
He's left-handed, which obviously comes at a premium in the big leagues. That's definitely going to help to our advantage.
city easy great history people stock understand
I can understand that. It's a what-have-you-done-for-me-lately business, obviously, and we're an easy target, I guess. You can't put too much stock into it, I think. People who are here and in the city know about the great history here. But the people here are frustrated, too, and we understand that.
everybody few fill hope money pocket previous speaks spend spent talent team ways
It speaks volumes, I think, that this team went out and spent the money it did this winter, especially after there wasn't a lot spent the previous few years. I hope everybody realizes now that there are two ways to get better: One is to give up young talent in trades, which you don't want to do. The other is to spend money out of pocket to fill needs. We did it right.
call fall guy maybe played positive questions seems
It's unfortunate to see one guy take the fall for 25. It really is. There seems to have been not as many questions about us and the way we've played than there were about him. If we can take a positive from it, that's going to change. This is the wake-up call maybe we need.
distinct flattering fun mess seen standard
It's more flattering than anything. You have fun with it. It's pretty cool, but I don't really have any distinct features. Pretty standard issue. But I've seen some that look pretty bad, so at least they didn't mess it up.
comprehend flattering hard until
It's more flattering now than anything, ... It's hard to comprehend something like that until it is done.
