dugout fun game good loved manage manages playing watching
I loved watching Ozzie manage in the other dugout and he manages just like he played. He had fun playing the game and he manages having fun and that's the way we should all try to do it. I think he set a pretty good tone.
anywhere flip four games guys health played top worth
I think we're fine. Health-wise we're not where we need to be. We're 7-11 and played without our top two guys (Shannon Stewart and Luis Castillo) for four games now. ... Of course, we haven't played worth a flip on the road, and that's what's disturbing. You're not going to get anywhere doing that.
bottom game knows line
I told him, 'Don't kill yourself,' but the bottom line is he's an athlete, and he's going to play the game the way he knows how to play the game.
baseball busted everybody game great guarantee running tail
He always busted his tail off and had a great thing to say to everybody in the clubhouse. I can guarantee you all this, as long as I'm running this baseball team, we will play the game with respect, run the ball out and give you a show, because that is what Kirby would want us to do.
game good great loss pitching
Another great pitched game by Johan. Another loss for a good pitching performance.
bench games guys happy help ready stay thin
Being on the bench for these games won't help them get ready for season. We are thin at the infield spots, so we are very happy to have these guys stay here.
baseball game running
As long as I'm running this baseball team, we will play this game with respect.
baseball bit game good gotten grown known people practice presence sloppy talked year
The story has always been with him that he's a sloppy practice guy, but a good game guy. He's gotten better at his practice now, and a lot of people talked to him about that, working on some drills. He's grown up a little bit and made his presence known this year in camp.
baseball game great playing
They're playing the game over there. That's a great baseball team.
baker ball games threw
Baker threw the ball great. He pitched very well in some big games.
bad game heartbeat playing slow wheel
As I've told him, we really have to slow this thing down. This is a thing that could come back in a heartbeat with one bad movement. He's out there just playing catch, but if you have to get in a game and wheel and let it fly, that's when something is going to happen. If he does it again, he's set way back.
bad game lousy night played
That was a bad night. We played a lousy game all around.
ball game guys slap throw
The game turns. They throw a barrage at you. They have guys who can slap the ball and guys who can put it into the seats. They have guys who can do everything.
bad baseball game missing taught
That was a real bad baseball game by our baseball team. Missing cutoff men, missing plays, you can go all over the field. That was real disappointing. You can't just play baseball like that. It isn't taught around here.
