bit feels might needs position short talk third work
He's going to play a lot in the outfield. I'll use him at third and a little bit at second. I might not use him at short because I don't know how comfortable he feels there. I'll talk to him about what position he needs to work on the most and that's what he'll play.
atlanta ball behind bit easier enjoy everybody field game knew pitcher played quick
I always wanted to get off the field as quick as I could. It's easier for everybody and it's more fun. I played behind Maddux a little bit (in Atlanta in 1998-99) and you knew that on any pitch, the (hitter) was going to put the ball in play. You enjoy the game a little bit more when you have a pitcher like that.
last stronger unit
I think we have a stronger unit than last season.
attacked
I think we should have scored more runs. We attacked him pretty well.
biggest help ready time
I think it's time for us to see what's he got. To see if he's ready to go, to see if he is going to help us in the stretch. That's the biggest issue.
biggest forward looking opening people
I think it's something so many people were looking forward to for so many years. I think this can be the biggest opening day we've ever had in so long.
dan fans gives ryan time
It gives fans a little more time to get here, especially with the construction on the Dan Ryan (Expressway).
played series
I think this series should be the most important series we've played all year.
help kid playoff
I think this kid is going to help us on the playoff roster,
easy face
It is not easy to go and face
jamie tough
Jamie can be tough on a lot of guys. It allows me to use my bench, but he can just be tough on hitters. Look at the numbers.
clutch easy last perform
Last year, he had some clutch hits. It's not easy to perform like he does when you play like once a month.
base batteries charges couple games gets league looked minor saw
I saw him in a couple of minor league games and he looked really good. He can do a lot for us. When he gets on base he charges the batteries of everybody.
leave opportunity pick win
I say this because I want to win it here. It would give me the opportunity to pick what I want to do. I didn't say I'd leave baseball. I can't live without baseball.
