daily lacks last might seen surprised teammates ways
I don't think Hanley lacks confidence. I think Hanley is not surprised that he made that play last night. Now, he might have surprised some of his teammates who haven't seen him play on a daily basis. But I don't think Hanley is surprised he made that play. He went a long ways over. I'm not surprised at what he does.
beat good last looking
He's a good looking young hitter. He showed that last year. We made some mistakes, and he beat us.
effective last threw tonight
I actually thought Vargas was better tonight. He was down in the zone. He just threw a lot of pitches. I thought he was more effective tonight than in his last start.
couple healthy huge last opportunity
I think it's a huge opportunity for him. He is healthy. He hasn't been healthy the last couple of years. But he was healthy in Tampa, that's why he pitched so well.
couple days eventually few hard josh last played start stretching three work
Miguel played a few days in a row. Josh is going to play a few days in a row. We'll eventually work up to three days in a row. It's hard because we have two catchers that need to play. We'll start stretching them out the last couple of weeks.
chicago couple healthy huge hurt last opportunity
It's a huge opportunity for him. He hasn't been healthy the last couple of years in Chicago and it hurt him.
blown drive good guys hitters last lost supposed top tough
It is the way that it is supposed to be. Your top two hitters get on, and the 3-4-5 guys drive them in. We have lost some tough games, and we were pretty much blown out the last two days. It was good to see our guys come back and battle.
camp days last nature
It's going to come down to the last days and that makes it tough. That's the nature of our camp this year.
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.
game last locks seemed seen starts top twice
It's kind of mind-boggling because he seemed to be on top of his game tonight. He's done it twice in his last two starts and the organization has never seen him do that. He usually locks in and focuses more.
coaches great last league major month opportunity spring timing tournament wish
It would have been a great opportunity. I just wish the timing was different. I don't think major league coaches can be part of this tournament because it could last the whole month of March, when we're in spring training.
dealt guess hand happens next teams three winning
The winning teams I've been on, there's always been a clear-cut closer. I think that's important. But I guess we're going to play the hand we're dealt with and see what happens in the next three weeks.
favorite team
That's my favorite part of the game. If the other team can't score, they can't win.
hit losses three winning
It's frustrating to be 1-4 because it could have been 4-1. And that's the frustrating part. It could have been 3-2, 2-3. Three of the losses you're one hit away from winning the game.
