watched
Have you watched us bunt? Does it look like we have it down now?
sending silly start stupid
Sending him back out there, that's a little silly to try to do something stupid with a man's career. We haven't done that to him all year, and we weren't going to start today.
playoff
It really was a playoff atmosphere. I'm sweating, and it wasn't even that hot.
plus super
He did a super job. That'll be a plus for us.
send time
Most of the time you send Rad back out there. But this isn't most of the time any more.
worried
But as I told you before, we're a little worried about this.
apologetic cared growing handle happy process situations understood
He was apologetic and that's all that I cared about. He understood that you have to handle situations a little better, and that's part of the growing up process too. I'm happy with it. I feel better about the whole situation. That's really all that matters.
ginger leave options runs spring until
I still think he runs a little ginger at times. But he's doing everything he has to do. I'm never going to say never until we get down to the end of spring training. I think you just leave your options open.
offence
I don't know if it was our offence or the flu.
spinning truth
I'm kind of spinning a little bit, to tell you the truth.
castro forever good known prevent quick
Castro is very good at short. He's very quick up the middle. We've known that forever about him. He's going to prevent some runs. That's what he does best.
castro catch guys middle near saw
Castro is going to catch the ball. You saw that when Castro made a play up the middle near the end of the game, and he made it look easy. Not too many guys can do that.
ballgame truth
Disappointing ballgame for us. I really don't know what to say about it, to tell you the truth.
bench good hitter sit start three unless week
I'm going to start him, too. I'm going to try to get him at-bats. You can't be a good hitter off the bench unless you get at-bats and get a good feel for it. You can't just sit there and get one at-bat a week or every three days.
