What he should do is call me. Not you.

anybody ball catch definitely effort fingers hit month pitch pointing team total ways work year
This is only the first month of the year here and we have a long ways to go, but we definitely have a lot of work to do. We have to pitch better; we have to hit better, and catch the ball better -- the whole package. That's why there can't be anybody pointing fingers in here, because it's a total package. We need an effort by the whole team to get better.

They're very quick. When those guys in the middle catch the ball like that, that's pretty good.

They have good pitching. They can throw. They got a good middle of the lineup. They're catching the ball in the middle of the infield. They're playing very aggressive. They're doing the things that we have to do to get back in it.

That one kind of choked me up. I thought that was a pretty nice thing by big Buck.
