several
I have to make several duplicates of every scorecard.
fearful great greatest guy importance joe knowing learned patience saying trusting work
The great thing about Joe was that he let me say anything I wanted and I was never fearful of saying anything; that's the greatest guy you can work for. Joe's a very trusting guy. One of the big things I learned about him was his patience and the importance of knowing people.
behold gives good guy learn low mound next runs three
If there's one guy that should take a pitch, it should be (Mitre). But he's got a pretty good swing. Low and behold he (goes back out to the mound and) gives up three runs the next inning. Something we can learn from.
miserable noticed quickly respond
I know it's not as quickly as he would like. I noticed the other day he was a little miserable that it didn't respond the way he would have liked.
blood good safe tight
I think it's more, we're being safe than sorry. He was tight today. The good thing is there is no blood in there. It's just some tightness.
anxious gave good joe last model regular situations talk ton
I talk to Joe on a pretty regular basis. I talk to him about situations and advice. I'm anxious to see him. He's always been good to me as a player, as a coach. He gave me a ton of responsibilities last year. He's someone you can model yourself after, not only as a manager, but as a person.
means
It's amazing. But that just means that they are young. It doesn't mean that they can't play.
rain
They said it was going to rain for a long time.
four hit three winning
It's a frustrating 1-4 because it could have been 4-1. In the four losses, three of the losses, we were one hit away from winning the game.
player represent
If, in their hearts, they want to represent their country, I would never tell a player not to play.
early love players sit
So when you get the composition of your team, you sit back and find out early what your players can do and you do that. But I love to be aggressive. That's the one thing I can tell you.
risk
I wouldn't do that. You don't want to risk him getting hurt. The only way I would do that is if it's something like the 19th inning and we're out of people.
good hitters pitchers standing throw
I thought we had a very good day. Pitchers were able to throw with hitters standing in.
pitch supposed
Their young shortstop has power. And we didn't pitch him the way we're supposed to.
