carrying guys maybe talking
We're talking about maybe carrying 12 pitchers. Guys have to be versatile.
guess
We need him in the lineup. My guess is we won't see that very often.
evaluate happen hit nervous younger
You kind of have to try to evaluate each guy, what's happening. Some of them are pressing. Some of them are nervous about what's going to happen if they don't get a hit in the at-bat. That's part of being a younger player.
good walked
We have walked too many people. But our pitchers, for the most part, have done a pretty good job.

We have a lot of guys who are in a hurry to get hits. They are trying to do too much. They want to have a good start and are anxious to prove they belong here. They need to be patient.

bunch center danger days eric fall game gave giving several tough
We gave Eric several days in a row, and now we're giving Reggie a bunch of days in a row. We've got to get one of our center fielders going. When you're young, this can be a tough game to get it going. The danger is you don't have anything to fall back on at this level. I always say you find out what a guy's made of when he struggles.
enjoyable enjoyment hard proud watch
What's enjoyable to watch is how hard they're playing. I'm proud of them.
guys struggle
What are you when you struggle? That's what these guys have to find out.
