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.
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.
defender good model role tremendous younger
He's just a good player. He's a good hitter, a good defender and a good baserunner. He's a tremendous role model for all our younger players.
couple good pleased start step waiting weeks woods
I was especially pleased with the way Woods threw. It's good to see them start to step up. We've been waiting for a couple of weeks for it to happen.
amazing balls guys happens hitter pitching strikes threw throwing
I didn't like it that our guys threw so many balls. They were all throwing strikes pitching in the bullpen. It is amazing what happens when you put a hitter at the plate.
barely patty scale
On a scale of 1-10, this is barely a 1. This is patty cake.
angels good hit hurt lapse pitching played sixth team
I thought our pitching was pretty good today. The Angels have a good team but we pitched well, hit pretty well and defensively played well. That one lapse in the sixth inning hurt us, obviously.
