came says schedule
What the schedule says is what you do. I think we came out of it pretty good, all things considered.
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.
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.
beginning direction guys seeing themselves
We're seeing some of these guys beginning to escalate themselves in the direction that you want to see them going.
adjustment gave liked next run
I thought he did well. I particularly liked how he gave up a run in the first inning but made an adjustment and pitched really well in the next inning.
expect gave nice plays
He gave us more than you would expect from a young kid, offensively, ... and defensively, he made many nice plays at third.
gave good run
Only the one run wasn't going to be good enough, and we gave them two others.
club duke fine gave opportunity quality start
Duke did a fine job. It was a quality start and he gave an opportunity for the club to win. I don't know how much more you can ask.
accomplish game light takes
Sometimes it takes one at-bat in one game for the light to go on. You can accomplish a lot by doing what we were doing with Duffy today.
clubhouse full guys
Is Oliver Perez important to us? And Kip Wells? Sure, they are. But we've got a whole clubhouse full of guys that are important to us.
economic property
You should not be able to take someone's property for economic development,
duke good
Zach Duke did a good job. He had to battle, obviously.
