bit sloppy
It was a little bit of a sloppy game.
belongs deserves paid
He belongs here. He's paid his dues. He deserves it.
break
It was the break we needed, put it that way,
chance hopefully pitches stay
That'll be his debut. But hopefully he pitches well and has a chance to stay here a while.
guys proven
He's a proven winner, some years some guys just get that.
arm extra far starters week
That first week of the season, without having an off-day, you never know how far the starters are going to go. So we may need that extra arm down there.
face guys impress lock name trying
They need to see me around. I like to lock in on those guys sometimes. I like to put a name with a face and see what they can do. They're trying to impress me and trying to impress everybody.
chance happen might satisfied
You're never satisfied of course. But I look at the big picture, some of the things that have happened, things that might have happened, have a chance to happen and I feel good.
four knew slug tough
I knew it was going to be a tough day when they scored those four in the first. When you come in this place, you know you're going to slug it out with them.
goes good help spend time
It'll help his hitting, too. Sometimes when you spend too much time on the bench, too much goes on in your mind. But he's a good fielder, too.
base doubles hits might
It got away and it got away quick. If those (homers) are base hits or even doubles it might be a different story.
bit camp chemistry continuity country establish experience faces great guys honor ideally playing possible selfish soon time type wanting
Obviously, it's a great thing to honor your country and to get that type of experience on such a big stage, but we're a little bit selfish in wanting those guys back as soon as possible. With so many new faces in camp this year, ideally you'd like to have all of them around as much as possible to establish chemistry and continuity in your lineup. But it's a great experience for Vernon, who's getting the most playing time of anyone.
both bush good lately
Both were dealing. Bush has pitched so good lately and got nothing to show for it.
easy
Why would you want an easy one? If we had an easy one we wouldn't know what to do with it. If it's easy it's no fun.
