advantage chance couple pay pull
We had a chance a couple of times and we couldn't pull the trigger. When you have an opportunity, you have to take advantage of it or you're going to pay for it.
afraid great people pitching pull reason
He's aggressive. He has great instinct, and he isn't afraid to pull the trigger. There's a reason why they did so well. People will say they have a great pitching staff, but you have to make it work.
arm chance coming gives good happened innings jon kid league misses opportunity pulled seven sudden took trust
Before I got the job, Jon never had the opportunity to go more than six, seven innings. They always pulled him out, and all of a sudden I give him the chance and he took advantage. I think this kid's arm is there. This kid gives 200 innings every year, he never misses a start. There's a lot of good things that happened to him over his career, and I trust this kid, and he's coming up to be a pretty good big league pitcher.
advice averages cannot close confident continue early games hard law pick pull together ways winning year
No -- I could get some advice from him this year ... Advice isn't going to help. You cannot pick when things go right and things go wrong. You have to look at the law of averages where they were winning games early in the year, too. It's hard to continue to win in that many different ways and that many close games. I'm confident they'll get it together and pull it together.
ball bottom consistent field good hit hitters kid middle pull swinging trying wish
I think he's swinging at better pitches. He's not trying to pull everything. He's trying to hit the ball into the middle of the field and right field. We wish this kid would be more consistent with that. When this kid is on, he's on for good and we need those hitters at the bottom of the lineup.
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.
