cap change everybody fact fun good great home last opening send spoil team win
Opening Day is a fun day. The last thing you want to do is spoil it with a loss. You want to cap it with a win and send everybody home happy. But it doesn't change the fact that we have a good team and we're going to have a great season.
anyone good group hitting matter notch offensive players talented turn
We have a good group of offensive players and talented guys, so it's just a matter of us getting on the right track. Hitting is contagious. Anyone will tell you that, so it's just a matter of everyone getting on the same page, and then we should be able to turn it up a notch at that point.
good kevin longer matter takes
Kevin will be fine. He's going to have a big year. He's a good hitter. It's just a matter of getting him hot, and sometimes it takes a little longer than you'd like.
good level playing single
I think it's a good thing. I never used a single one before, and it will be good to know that we're all playing on a level field.
cares food gets good healthy message people surprised taste truly
People not only are surprised by how good healthy food can taste but they get so much out of Jennifer's talks. She truly cares about people, and that message gets across.
against anybody best expect good hit letting obviously running teams third unbalanced
With the unbalanced schedule, over a third of our at-bats are against these teams so it's important for him to go out and get a feel for these guys. Obviously we don't expect anybody to hit .450, but the best thing you can do is keep running him out there and letting him have good at-bats.
good pitches
He was really locating his pitches well. He was on his game, good stuff.
few good last playing start waste
We just have to be better defensively, me included. We've slipped the last few weeks, and we don't want to waste a good start by not playing better in the field.
couple good hits kept square typical usual
He did his usual thing and kept us off balance. We got a couple of hits here and there, but we didn't really square much of anything up. He did a good job. It was typical Barry.
ahead best days expect good league
I always thought I was going to be able to do some good things in this game, and I really feel like my best days are ahead of me. I know what to expect out of the league and out of myself.
against aggressive both cuts fastball good job kept plate sides tough worked
He worked both sides of the plate and spotted his fastball well. We had some aggressive cuts against him, but he did a good job and kept us off balance. He is always tough and is very competitive.
daniel good job stepping
Beau and Daniel did a good job stepping in.
eat game good instead meal personally start waiting wake
Personally I think it's better to play in the day than at night. Instead of waiting around all day for the game to start all we have to do is wake up, eat a good meal and then play football.
everybody good individual judged label people player seeing throw
People throw that label around without even seeing the player play. It's unfortunate, because nothing good can come of it. I think everybody should be judged on an individual basis.
