anticipate baseball catch experience good number people players taking time
I don't anticipate it taking him a long time to catch up. Kenji is a good baseball player, number one, and it has been my experience that good players know how to get people out.
adrian player punish says talent track vindictive
I don't do this to be vindictive or to punish someone. I do it to get Adrian on track because we need him to be the player his talent says he can be. And I think he will.
adversity capable everybody players year
That wasn't what we thought he's capable of. Sometimes young players are better players from the adversity that they have to go through. We'll see with Jeremy. But that wasn't the year that everybody expected.
good guys players receiving ring
I think it's good for our players to see these guys receiving a ring like this. Getting that ring is what it's all about.
good player stays veteran
He's a veteran player and if he stays healthy, he's a good player.
absolutely center field focused hour last left middle needs player shows stay thrilled trying
I would be absolutely thrilled if he's a better player when he shows up than he was when he left last year. Lopez needs a better focus. He needs to stay in the center of the field with his hitting. We really need to stay on him every hour of every day to stay in the middle of the field and stay focused on what it is he's trying to accomplish.
options soon ways
It's too soon to say A, B, C and D are going to happen. We have different options and different ways to go.
eddie pitches spring threw
Eddie threw more pitches in that inning than he did all spring training.
chunk took
It took a chunk out of the back of his finger.
difference left pitches turned
Hernandez left two pitches up in the zone, and that turned out to be the difference in the game.
guns people problem rather swinging swung walks wonder
After the walks some people will wonder why Carl swung at the first pitch, but I didn't have a problem with it. We had one of our big guns at the plate. I'd rather have him swinging there.
couple early good missing threw
He was rushing, he was missing his spots. He threw a couple of good pitches, then he'd get away from it. It's still early in the season.
light second somebody switch turned
He had a 14-pitch first inning and a 38-pitch second inning. It's like somebody turned the light switch off.
anyone certainly defender good hard model plays role tremendous wants
He's a good player. He's a good hitter, a good defender and a good baserunner. He also plays hard all the time. He certainly is a tremendous role model for all our young players, or anyone else who wants to watch.
