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.
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.
finish ideal
We were in an ideal position. Unfortunately, we weren't able to finish the job.
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.
club results
We're a much different club when we get results like that.
best course decision interest involved next overly prudent several
There are things that play in to that that I am not going to get overly involved in at this time. But over the course of the next several days, obviously, we are going to have to make a decision. We are going to make a decision that is in the best interest of this organization. That's the decision that we have to make. That's the prudent thing to do.
helmet hits pitch sure
The pitch was up and in. In that case, you just try to make sure the pitch hits more helmet than face.
attacked guy hitter
You don't want to see a guy go 3-2 on a hitter all the time. (Perez) attacked (yesterday) -- that's what I want to see.
busy guy hands mind start stretching
He's a guy we'd like to get our hands back on so we can start getting him busy with some of the things we have in mind -- namely, stretching him out.
accepts benches clubhouse flight great guys knows players role top willingly
He's a clubhouse leader, great for young players to be around, knows how to play the game, accepts his role willingly and does it as well as any of the other top flight guys that come off benches and play, that you can think of. What's there not to like about this guy?
