accuracy arm gets keeps quicker strength throwing
His arm strength and accuracy ... he will get better as he keeps going. His footwork and throwing will get quicker as he gets more confidence.
outfield sure throw work
He's been there before, so he's going to work in the outfield a little bit, and then we are going to work him in a game. I want to make sure he's comfortable out there before I just throw him out there.
days seventeen throw work
Seventeen days in you can't keep making the same mistakes. You can't just work your butts off and throw it away because you want to do too much.
praise tend throw upbeat
I'm a pretty upbeat guy. I tend to throw a lot of praise around.
good hitters pitchers standing throw
I thought we had a very good day. Pitchers were able to throw with hitters standing in.
experience finish fire great houston picked teams thrown top
I think it's great. Why not get thrown right in the fire with Houston and New York, two teams that are picked to finish in the top of their division? I think it's a great experience for our young players. It's a measuring stick.
changed depth game handling involved met phase pitch talked taught throw throwing
He taught me to be a better receiver, a more comfortable receiver. He taught me how to throw better. I changed my whole throwing once I met him. We talked in depth about handling pitchers, pitch selection. Any phase of the game he was involved in making me better.
discussion hit microphone throw
If it's a discussion every day, it's a discussion every day. If it's a little microphone I throw in his earpiece ... I'll just tell him to hit stand-up doubles, that's all.
eyes opened period pitches short throw
He's got no fear. He could throw all of his pitches over at any time. He opened a lot of eyes this spring. He's come a long way in a short period of time.
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.
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.
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.
develops goes hopefully time
Hopefully someone develops into that as time goes on.
