carries few hurt knew nice presence rodriguez searching
Rodriguez knew that if he made a mistake, he was going to get hurt. That was the presence we have been searching for. Having him there with a few other guys, there's a presence there that you have to make some pitches. It carries over and that was nice to see.

Once he starts playing the outfield and proves to us that he can run the bases and play the outfield a few days in a row, then we'll see where he's at.

They've earned the respect. They won the World Series. We're chasing them. They chased us for a few years.

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

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.

Terry doesn't throw out 'very good' very often.

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.
