bat brady gets help swinging until
He'll play until Brady gets back. He's been swinging the bat real well. He can do a lot of things to help you win.
fighting found night settled
He never got settled in. He never found a groove, never got anything going. He was fighting all night long.
ability fit pass pick quite talent win
He'll fit in quite nicely. You can't win without talent and we couldn't pass up the ability to pick up someone with talent and experience, too.
closer help matters needs
He needs an inning badly. It doesn't help matters for any closer to go that long without pitching.
coming might occasional
He might get an occasional day off but he's not coming out of the lineup.
came camp great looks
He came into camp in great shape. He really looks good.
continued
This was nothing new. He just continued what he's been doing all spring.
blow good later liked saw strong
When he pitched more aggressively out of the bullpen, something started clicking. Later in the year, he was strong and the more I saw him, the more I liked him. I think he has a lot of up side. I saw him blow away some good hitters.

But those things all turn around. Our pitching will get back on track and we'll be in good shape.

looked run
I looked up and we had a run in every inning for awhile,
emphasis gets head stress
If we put a lot of stress and emphasis on it, then, at times, it gets into your head a little bit.
emphasis head stress
If we put a lot of stress and emphasis on it, it will probably get in his head a little. But it's not a problem. It's not a concern. We'll keep working through it.
crushed far
I don't have any idea how far it went but he crushed it.
