computer next rough suit wearing
I think what you see more with the computer thing now is two-game series. Those are rough things. You don't unpack your bag. You come in, you're wearing your suit and you wear your suit to the next game.
couple decided matter mental next past physical progress serious starts time
It's that and nothing else. He's decided to do that. It's just a matter of doing it next time . .... The past couple of starts he's really bared down and focused. I think he's really making some serious progress in his mental game. We all know he has the physical tools.
ego everybody great love
Joe's awesome. He's a different kind of manager. He has no ego. He's a great communicator. He's been around. I think everybody is going to love him.
best felt fun moving
It felt good. When you're moving around like that, it's not easy, but it's a lot of fun because you try to be the best you can at each one.
goes good
He showed me good things (Friday). He showed Toby (Hall) good things (Sunday). Me and Toby were talking, we like the way he throws, but more importantly, we like the way he goes about his business.
happened past win
I did nothing wrong. The same thing I said after the game. It already is in the past. It happened a day-and-a-half ago now. We've got to win today.
breaking fastball good looked settled time
(Shields) looked great, looked sharp. Shields was spotting everything where he wanted it. Seth started a little jittery, probably because it was his first time out. But he settled in and made some good pitches. He has a good fastball and a good, old-school breaking ball.
spot
It was very, very disappointing for us. Our guys, especially Escobar, battled to get to that spot (and) got the out, so it's very frustrating it wasn't called the right way.
everybody fresh generally joe league leagues major reinforce simple slide spring square taken talent tend trying
You need to reinforce the simple aspects. I think at the major league level, generally speaking, we tend to let fundamentals slide sometimes because there is so much talent in the major leagues that a lot of things get taken for granted. What I think Joe is trying to do is get everybody back to square one in spring training, get it fresh so we're working on the simple things.
games
That's incredible. I just want to play in 84 games this season.
batting music scoreboard
I put it all to music and put it on the scoreboard during batting practice.
average good hurt
Good luck. That's how many strikeouts (an average of 245) over how many years (27)? Straight. Without getting hurt, without whatever. That's pretty good.
catch caught walk
I caught the ball. When you catch the ball, you just walk off the field.
ball caught
I caught the ball so I thought the inning was over.
