exactly light spring
He didn't exactly light it up in spring training. We didn't know where it was going.
ginger leave options runs spring until
I still think he runs a little ginger at times. But he's doing everything he has to do. I'm never going to say never until we get down to the end of spring training. I think you just leave your options open.
confidence spring types work
He pitched so well in spring training, and he got out of a lot of those types of jams. So you're going to show confidence in him to get out of them, but it just didn't work out.
balls bats half position season spring start
He told me they didn't play him at all in a position in Spring Training, and then they get to the season and half way through they start him in the outfield. We just need to get him out there so he can see balls off bats and try to get him acclimated.
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.
days five hoping knew spring throws
It wasn't that complicated five days ago. But we knew it was going to get a little entertaining here. We were hoping we could get through spring without injuries, but they are going to happen. It just throws a little wrench in there.
baseball determine far left looked people plan played spring
How much baseball he has left in him, that's what we'll determine in spring training. As far as going to Plan B, that's not something I've looked at yet. But we've got people here who've played over there before.
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.
deal hoping season spring start sure tough
I'm sure hoping it's not going to be like that all year. That would be a tough thing to have to deal with. That's why you take precautions now in Spring Training, so once you start season everyone is healthy.
baseball charlotte port spring team wonderful
It would be wonderful for us if Port Charlotte got a baseball team for spring training.
excited guys realize spring start training
All of the guys are excited to see one another and to realize that the start of Spring Training is right around the corner.
leaving spring sure
Him leaving after (the first week) is a little difficult. You'd sure like to have him for the whole spring training, but that's just not possible.
brings kid knee playing spring strong talent tear training wear
This kid has a lot of talent and brings a strong bat. It will be interesting to see how he does in Spring Training and how his knee will take to the wear and tear of playing in the outfield.
spring tough training
It was kind of a tough thing to concentrate on a spring training game.
