He's intense. Back in the old city again, I'm sure that played a role.

I haven't done anything to hurt it, except play 150 games. I'll be back at first.
assured believe cool exploding face figured seen
It's fun, because he's not used to any of this. I can't believe he's never seen an exploding pen. I figured they made those things in Japan. Once I assured him that his face wasn't on fire, he was cool with it.
battle break coming hand looking pattern spring training
This is a pattern we need to break out of, and right now. Coming out of spring training we weren't looking at having a 7-13 kind of April. But it's the hand we've been dealt. We've got to battle out of it.

It's going to be a tough month, a tough first six weeks. But you've got to play these teams sometimes, and now is a good time to see where we're at. You can always catch fire.

A different move, one I hadn't seen before. It caught me off guard.

It's a loss. It's frustrating. No matter how close it is, it still goes into the loss column.
hit miss pitchers spot sure team three threw weekend
They threw three pitchers at us this weekend who didn't miss a spot in three days. If they did, we fouled it back. When a team collectively doesn't hit like this, you can be pretty sure it's the pitching.
jump
If we could jump out and play well early, you get some confidence. Then things kind of snowball.
bad certainly guys losing pitcher stop team type
It's unbelievable. He's been great. Every team has one or two guys who can stop those three- or four-game losing streaks. He's certainly that type of pitcher who can just stop a bad time.
