six throw worry
I said, don't worry about it. He's only going to throw about 50 pitches. That's about six innings, and then he'll be done.
bad changing everybody great guy instead manager people treating treats worry
He just treats people like people instead of treating them like players. If a guy has a bad day, he doesn't treat them any differently than if they had a great day, and that makes everybody feel comfortable. They can all go out and play, and not worry about their manager changing his disposition every day.
everybody goes worry
Everybody goes through that. It's nothing to worry about.
coming everybody matter move occasional taking worry
I may move him up or down, but I'm not taking him out of the lineup no matter what happens. He'll get his occasional day off just like everybody will get, but he doesn't have to worry about coming out of the lineup. He's playing.
bad basis changing dogs great knack manager matter opinion people player pressure taking treats worry
He's unfailingly patient. He never panics. He has a knack for taking a lot of pressure off of everybody. He never dogs anybody, no matter what. He just treats people like people. He doesn't treat them like players. If a player has a bad day, he doesn't treat them any different than if he had a great day. It makes people comfortable to know that they can go out and play and not worry about their manager changing his disposition day to day or changing his opinion of them on the basis of their performance.
brady consistency trying whatever work
I think Brady will work out whatever is going on with him. I'm just trying to get some consistency in our offense.
adequate billy quite
I think Billy can play, quite honestly, every day at second, probably every day at short, every day at third, or every day in the outfield. He could be adequate at all those spots.
levels reason three year
I think we all were (impressed). There's some reason why he has jumped three levels in a year and a half. You could see why today.
excitement next spring training
I think there will be a lot of excitement in spring training next year.
addition afraid great jeff second solid
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.
benny bit davis good starter
I think Doug Davis would be a No. 1 starter on a lot of teams. He's every bit a No. 1 starter as Benny is. We feel good about him.
defeating fighting fights-and-fighting hard
Our guys, what they're doing is they're fighting real hard to try to get out of it. It's defeating the purpose.
