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.
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.
clubhouse flow good help nice people seems talented wait
We think we have some pretty talented people that can help us do the things we need to do, and they've been good out in the clubhouse up to this point. We'll wait and see. It's going to be a long year, but up to this point, it seems like there's a nice flow going.
nice night
We don't know where to go from here, but it was a nice night.
angle asked believes general help hitters impressive manager nice watch whether
Whether the general manager believes that he can help me out of my pen, I haven't asked yet. That was impressive to me to watch him come right at the hitters with a nice angle to the ball.
afraid good himself knows man nice player smile talented
He's a very talented player and we're not afraid to put him in any situation. He handles himself pretty good, has a good smile on his face, is a nice young man and knows how to play the game. And he's getting better and better.
choked nice
That one kind of choked me up. I thought that was a pretty nice thing by big Buck.
nice says talked
We've talked about it. He says he'd like to do more. That would be nice to see.
faces man nice throw
Garza did fine. He's got a nice-looking arm. He's going to be a nice-looking pitcher. It's nice to get to see the young man throw the ball. You like to put faces with names.
help nice people support talk year
It's always nice to get out and talk to the people who help support us all year long.
against force guard guys happy letting looks nice odds player talk trying
I want the whole player back. You have to guard against letting him get out there and trying to force too much or letting him do too much early. It's nice to see and I'm really happy that he's back out there running around, because when it happened, there was a lot of talk that some guys never come back from this. It looks like he's beating the odds right now.
besides character family fits great man mold nice players third ways
You can use him a lot of different ways besides just at third -- first base, DH. He can do a lot of things and he can hit. He's also a very nice man with great family so he fits the mold for us. We're not just after players but players with character and he fits that.
bit choked nice puck
It choked me up a bit to see that. That was a nice thing by Big Buch. He was around Puck enough to really know him.
bit came coming good groove guys home nice playing road series tough
It was a very nice series for us, after coming off a tough road trip. We came back home and did what you have to do to get righted. Guys are now getting into a bit of a groove and playing good ball.
