We're getting a look at these guys for next year.
breaking facing formal league major second swing throw
It was big for him to go out in more of a formal situation, facing another major league team. He didn't throw any breaking balls. His second inning was much better than the first. He got in the swing of things.

He can't hurt it anymore than it already is. When it does hurt, it hurts for about 5 seconds and goes away.

Jeff Cirillo is a solid player. He's been a great addition to the team. He does everything well. I'm not afraid to put him at second base.
depends game games hitter lost runs score second seen stage
I'm not going to concede too many runs in this series, ... It depends on who the hitter is, what stage of the game we're at. I've seen a lot of games lost where you're in the first or second inning and you say, 'Eh, let them have that run. We're going to score a bunch.' And you end up losing, 1-0.
breaking easy feeling geared knowing life second talked
Knowing he would be a little more geared up, he wanted to back off on his breaking ball. It's something we all talked about. The second inning he had easy life on his fastball. You could see he was feeling good. He's right on schedule.

It's hard to find guys who can play second, third and short. You can find guys who can play second and third, or short and second, but it's hard to find all three.

He's not just a closer. He's a dominant closer.
eating good habits
It's not easy; it's hard. You've got to get into good eating habits and good conditioning habits early. If you don't, it can get away from you. This is real important for his career.

It's just a day game after a night game. Miller would be catching if we were playing a night game.

Poor Jenkins, he was distraught yesterday. He was having a monster year. We're having fun; we're in the midst of a 10-game winning streak, and he was enjoying himself.

He was really hyped up. He never got in a groove. He was overthrowing and he couldn't make the adjustment. It's the first day and it's tough on the young kids.
corps kids plan three tread until water
The whole plan three years ago was to tread water until these kids got here. And it's not just those three. It's all the others, too, a whole corps of kids that are coming.

Our guys, what they're doing is they're fighting real hard to try to get out of it. It's defeating the purpose.
