balls evidence good guys hit
I don't see any evidence of guys pressing. We've had some good at-bats. We just have hit any long balls lately.
confidence doubts easy good lacks needs problem
I don't think he lacks any (fire). He's a good guy. He's easy going, but I've got no problem with him. I just think his confidence isn't where it needs to be just yet. I think there are times he doubts himself.
point running
I don't see the point in running him out there at this point in the year. It doesn't make sense.
course playing rest
I don't see him playing the rest of the year. It doesn't make any sense. Of course he's disappointed. But he understands that it's late.
balls defense goes guy played takes talk talking
You talk about Orlando's defense -- those balls he goes back on, those in-between balls he takes away. Now, you're talking about a guy that's never played outfield, so it's a little more magnified.
dave pitches tells threw
That just tells you something about Dave Bush, because he threw 100 pitches the other day.
guys top
It's more about the guys on the top of the lineup.
balls best taking work
The best work you can get is taking balls off the bat, over and over and over again.
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.
might
That hurts. That might have put us back into that thing.
area few last pitches problem shut threw
It's in the same area he had the problem last year. He only threw a few pitches and we shut him down.
bit job months nice struggled
They were raving about him two months ago. I think he's done a nice job for us. It's magnified at the end because he's struggled a little bit of late.
alex both drive gives looked speed swinging
They looked great. They both were swinging it good. I like the way it gives us speed up top. I just like them up there. And Alex I think is going to drive in some runs, that gives him the chance.
hung swung
They hung tough, they swung it, they make you pay.
