bat bench brady days five four help houston seven
Brady is seven days out and still four or five days away in the best-case scenario. Going into Houston another left-handed bat off the bench will help us.
balls concrete fields good ground night rain weather work
Boy, the infield is like concrete out there. Ground balls get by you in a hurry. We can use the good weather to get our work in but you'd like to see a little rain at night to soften up the fields a bit.
decent maybe score start though today
Even though we've been struggling, I think we have a decent lineup. I think we will score some runs. Maybe today is a start for us.
ben chris good pleased threw
Ben (Sheets) threw well, Doug Davis, Chris Capuano, I was pleased with all of our starters. It was a good day.
benny evaluate shoulder slight strain tomorrow
Benny we think has a slight strain of his lat. It's not the shoulder or elbow. We will evaluate him tomorrow and he will be day-to-day.
ben best interest opening push ready team
Ben would have made the team if he had been completely healthy. But it was in his best interest not to push it, so he'd be ready opening day.
again anymore believe benny healthy last nearly sharp
Believe it or not, Benny wasn't nearly as sharp as his last start. He's back healthy again - we don't even think about that anymore - and doing what he does best. He was on the attack.

Billy looked like he was playing in for the bunt.
billy gives knows playing weapon
Billy knows his role. His versatility gives us a weapon at more than one position. He will get his playing time.
billy coach compliment great guys mike pitching played ready success
Billy is like the pitching coach of the bullpen. He's a great compliment to (pitching coach) Mike Maddux and he has played a big part in the success we've had out there. When those guys come in the game, he's got them ready to go.
exactly reason saving situations throw
The reason we don't use him is because we're not going to just throw him out there. This is exactly the reason he is here. We're saving him for situations like that.
clubhouse knew league major
(Fielder) has been in a major league clubhouse his whole life. He's not awed or wide-eyed by this. He knew he was destined.
billy hall quick
Experience. You play it, day in and day out. You've got to do it on your own. It's the same thing Billy Hall went through two years ago. Look where he's at now. There's no quick fix.
ask experience high majority sure tells
Experience tells you he's not going to do it every time, but he's sure going to do it the high majority of the time. That's all you ask for.
