He says, 'We've just got to get him through the first couple innings,'
couple days
I've got pitching, ... We'll have to go a couple of days like this.
bit calm couple good spring trying
That's where Lew has been working hard. There were a couple of times in spring where he just flung it again. We're trying to get him to be a bit calmer out there. He's a good outfielder. He just has to calm down.
arms couple help maybe people power pressure
That's why getting some people up here is going to help. Maybe a couple power arms like a (Travis) Bowyer and maybe a (Francisco) Liriano will help take the pressure off as we go here into September, where we don't have to kill those guys.
bad bullets couple frustrated gives good hit pitches three
You could tell he got frustrated after the big one out there in the gap, where he gives up three more. You know he's frustrated and then he makes a couple more pitches up and they hit a couple of bullets off him. So he's just frustrated right now. He makes a good pitch, they hit it, makes a bad pitch, they hit it. It's just not working out for him right now.
bit couple days knee sore today
He jammed his knee a bit on the play. He called me over today and said he was a bit sore in his leg, so we'll give him a couple of days off with the off-day tomorrow.
choked nice
That one kind of choked me up. I thought that was a pretty nice thing by big Buck.
arguing ball catch great job looked pitcher pitchers start turned wood
Their pitcher was aware. Wood did a great job there. Most pitchers would catch the ball and start arguing with the umpire. He was very aware. He turned around looked home. He did a great job on that play.
boring common tells
It's a boring kind of thing, really. I think common sense pretty much tells you where it is.
wanting
I can't see Rad not wanting to go out there.
terry throw
Terry doesn't throw out 'very good' very often.
face help learn people serious understand wants
This is serious, very serious, and a lot of people are going to learn from this. We're going to help him get through this thing and make him understand how serious this is. He wants to face the penalty, and that's the right thing to do.
classy help presence ready takes whatever
A presence like his can only help. He's a pretty classy man. He told me he's ready to do whatever it takes to help. If I need him to help some young kids, he'll do that.
hearts prayers situation tough
Our hearts and our prayers are all with Puck. We know its a tough situation out there.
