care close easy sit state
Torii's been very close to Puck. He was in no state to go out for a ballgame. I told him to sit back, take it easy and we'll take care of that game.
bit less muscle people percent pulls season shoulder sore starting sudden talking types
To me, starting the season with people less than 100 percent is very, very scary. I'm not talking about a little bit of a sore shoulder or something you play through, but I'm talking about muscle pulls and those types of things. Those come back and all of a sudden you're out.

Why do you bring up his name? He's on that side. I don't want to talk about J.C.
baseball fun past puck punching situation starts
We're going through enough in our situation here with Puck and the whole package, and then this comes back out and starts punching baseball in the head. It's not much fun to see again. I thought we were past that era.

We think we have some pretty talented people that can help us do the things we need to do, and they've been good out in the clubhouse up to this point. We'll wait and see. It's going to be a long year, but up to this point, it seems like there's a nice flow going.

We think we've got a pretty good player here that is going to help us do some damage this year.

We tried a hit-and-run (twice) last night. We got one of them right. That's better than the year before. I think that was more of a TV malfunction.

We kept playing. That's what this game's all about.

This year he's been very, very solid. As good as they get in this league. We haven't exactly scored a lot of runs. We know that. But he's backed it up.
double forth guys home keeping mental plate throw trying
Trying to throw out guys at home plate when we should be keeping the double play, ... It's the mental part of the game, and that's where we have to toughen up again. We're going to put forth a big effort.
ball early throwing
We know it's early with the kid, but we like his arm. He's been throwing the ball very well down here.
process tracking
We are in the process of tracking him down to find out what's going on. We don't know when he'll be in.
adding bad bats behind early game great kept lousy missed night swing
We had a really bad night tonight, all the way around. That was just a lousy game by us. We got behind early and just kept adding on. We missed plays, didn't swing the bats great and just had a lousy game.
