came says schedule
What the schedule says is what you do. I think we came out of it pretty good, all things considered.
arm ball decrease instead pushing slot throwing timing
When your timing is off and you're pushing the ball instead of throwing the ball, there will be a decrease in velocity. If the timing is off or the arm slot is off, you won't see the same thing.
rest
We're not going to say we're not going to see him for the rest of the year, ... We're going to take it day-by-day.
catch speed
We're going to speed Duff up and get him some at-bats. We've just got to catch up a little bit.
easy few gonna guy identical last leave quality recognize saw seeing start starts step teammates took
What we're seeing right now is, in my mind, identical to what we saw last year, when it took him a few starts to get untracked, and then you see one quality start after another. His teammates recognize that's he gonna leave everything that he has on the field, and it's very easy to step up for a guy like that.
change landscape perception
With what we have here right now, ... you'll see the landscape change and be better than what the perception is.
center chris defensive eight games
We know what kind of defensive center fielder Chris Duffy is. To get him going offensively, it's not going to do us a lot of good, eight games in, to keep going back and forth.
hitters pitches
We know he's very capable. He has the pitches to get major-league hitters out.
finish ideal
We were in an ideal position. Unfortunately, we weren't able to finish the job.
call hate hell numerous seen
We've seen this be done on numerous occasions. You hate like hell if they huddled, reversed the call and it was wrong. To their credit, they got it right.
ball base gap good happen hit ourselves taking tying
We did everything we could to get ourselves back in it. We were a base hit from tying it or a ball in the gap from taking the lead. You have to have a lot of good things happen to do that.
credit played weekend win
We did everything we could do to try to win the game, but you have to give credit where credit's due: They played very well all weekend long.
ball base gap hit ourselves tying
We did everything we could do to get ourselves back in it. Once again, we were a base hit from tying it and a ball in the gap from going ahead.
capable defensive routine solid special
We're a solid defensive club. We make routine plays, and we're capable of making special plays.
