bring consistent everybody five game kids knows matter sees superstar tools
If he was 30 years old, I would still be impressed. He's just one of those kids who has that instinct. Everybody sees it and knows he is going to be special. It's just a matter of him being consistent and being able to bring those five tools to the game every night. And he can. He will be a superstar in the league.
amazing throwing watch
It's just amazing what he does because he's not throwing 94, 93 mph. You watch Greg Maddux, that's an art.
battle behind catching guy hits played side trying waiting
I told him I was going to get him. I said, 'You think I was catching you just for your benefit? I was waiting for this day, too.' It's going to be weird, a guy you went to battle with and played behind so much, being on the other side trying to get hits off him.
committed definitely looks rebuild sad
It's going to be a while, not in a lot of peoples' lifetimes. It's sad because when you think about Louisiana, you think about New Orleans. It's definitely hard. It looks like they are committed to try to rebuild it, but the way it looks on TV, it's going to be a while for them to do that.
matter picked
You see them getting picked off one by one and you know that you're going to be one of them. It's just a matter of when and where.
game rhythm spring training work
It's just like hitting. I try to take one at-bat a game in spring training to bunt. You get into a rhythm with bunting, that's why I work on it.
beat confident couple game good handled home last win
They handled us the last couple of times. They're confident they can go out and beat us, and beat us here. If we go out and play a good game tomorrow, take that game and win the series, then it will be an all right little home stretch.
ball fall looked wheels
From the stands, it looked we had everything in hand. All of a sudden, a ball here and a ball there and the wheels fall off,
guy left plate second slow third throw throwing
The guy was pretty slow to the plate once I got to second. The second time, I don't think (Valentin) wanted to throw to third after throwing it into left the first time.
bad base baseball expect shows speed three
I haven't been getting on base as much as I'd like to be. This shows that speed can play a part. You don't expect three bad pickoff throws. You see something new in baseball every day.
ball move
We just didn't move the ball offensively, we just didn't get it done. We didn't get on base. We didn't really do anything today.
performance pitching scrape three together
(When) you get a pitching performance like that, you want to get a win. We should be able to scrape together two or three runs, but we didn't get it done. Offensively, we have to get better.
bad loss ready realize tomorrow
We realize this was a bad loss tonight, and we've got to come out tomorrow ready to play,
causes evident game good guys intent offense start
This was only the first game, but this game it was evident that once you get guys on base, it causes havoc. It's not just me, it's anybody. That's my intent to start off the game, not necessarily with a triple, but to have a good at-bat and let the offense take it from there.
