enjoyable hard meetings talk watch
What's really enjoyable to watch is how hard they play. We talk about it every day and we have meetings about how hard we're playing.
harder lead learn learning pitch
There are times when you have to learn to pitch with the lead. To me learning how to pitch with the lead is harder than learning how to pitch when you're behind. That's what we need to learn how to do.
center tough
We have to get one of our center fielders going. They are young, and it's a tough game, but we have to get them going.
fun watching work
Watching our shortstops go to work was kind of fun to watch.
believe camp pitch
We're going to see how he does out of the bullpen. It's just kind of a different role, some flexibility for us. He has pitched very well in camp and we believe we can pitch him anywhere.
carry innings whether
We're going to have innings for all our starters, whether we carry 11 or 12 pitchers.
fall guy
We fall asleep, and the guy scores. It can't happen.
catch concern played ways
We're a ways away with him. My concern with him was he already played catch and didn't tell us.
capable days exciting few last seen
We've seen the last few days what he's capable of. That's exciting stuff.
bothering confident days extra toe
The extra two days won't hurt. He was confident he could pitch, but the toe has been bothering him a little bit.
dream following guys test
The only way we're going to find out if these guys can play is to test them. These guys are all following a dream and want a chance.
change club enjoy fan job manager people player stands watching whether
The only way that as a manager or as a player that we can change that is for our club to play better and for people to enjoy watching our club. My job is to get our club to win, whether there's one fan in the stands or 60,000. People like winners.
We really jumped on Pettitte. Ramirez started us out, really got us going.
best bring close fans game lose sure
We are going to lose some close games, but fans have to be sure that we'll bring our best game every night.
