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.
ace demeanor extremely guy interested saw today wanting
He pitched like an ace today -- and he had the demeanor of one. I saw a guy who was extremely interested in wanting to be the ace of the staff.
feeling guy home horse productive race today work
You're not in a horse race with this guy either. For him to come out here today and do the things that he did, get his work in, I think he's going to go home today feeling like he had a very productive day.
happens today
A day like today -- that's something that happens even with an 'ace' of the staff.
great today
It was a great workout. We got a lot done today and we accomplished a lot of things.
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.
