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.
bats detroit games good kansas period swing
We've got to play a very good Detroit team, and obviously, we didn't swing the bats very well in the first two games (in Kansas City). So, righting the ship, that comes over a long period of time.
feels games schedule three throwing wait worried
We just really have to wait and see. On that schedule right there, getting in three games and if he feels comfortable throwing all three of his pitches, then he's probably going to be ready. But we're a little worried about this.
concern games guys losing throw
Our concern is, how many guys are we going to have to throw our games? We've got two split-squad games early, and now we're losing another pitcher.
beat catcher games happy risk
The risk of a catcher getting beat up in the World games is pretty high, and I'm happy to have my young catcher here.
baker ball games threw
Baker threw the ball great. He pitched very well in some big games.
battling early found games groove injured people
We're 17 games in. I'd say that's too early (to be concerned). We still haven't found a groove yet. If we do that, we can compete. If we're 7-10 here and we've got people injured and some people who aren't here, I think we're battling pretty good.
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.
bit evaluate games guy guys punish quite
I'm not going to punish a guy just because he's going to the world games. It's quite an honor. But it does make it a little bit more difficult. I'm not going to evaluate him while he's in the world games. I'll be evaluating my guys here.
baker tough
I thought we pitched well enough to win. Baker battled through some tough jams and made some big pitches, but we didn't get it done offensively.
gives looking nice
It gives us those 82 wins, which is what everyone was looking for. It's not enough for us, but it's nice for the organization.
second time
I think the second time around we'll see where we're at here.
books-and-reading
Just another one for the books. Ohhhh God.
bench brought everyday happy instead jason needs sitting spring training
Jason needs to get consistent, everyday at-bats instead of sitting on the bench here with us. We brought him up here from spring training to see where he's at, and we're happy with his progress.
