face help learn people serious understand wants
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.
wants
He wants to play. But I'm just going to give him a day break.
bench driving good healthy wants
That was good enough for me. He wants to play. It's frustrating for him not to play. It was driving him crazy. On the bench in Chicago, he was going nuts. Hopefully, we can get him healthy and keep him on the field.
baseball fun goes heart intense wants win
He's pretty intense right now. No one wants to win any more than Johan. He's all about winning. That's why it's fun to have him on your baseball team. When he goes out there, you can see it in his heart that he wants to win for this baseball team.
shut unless wants
I won't shut him down unless he wants to be shut down.
choked nice
That one kind of choked me up. I thought that was a pretty nice thing by big Buck.
arguing ball catch great job looked pitcher pitchers start turned wood
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.

It's a boring kind of thing, really. I think common sense pretty much tells you where it is.
wanting
I can't see Rad not wanting to go out there.
terry throw
Terry doesn't throw out 'very good' very often.
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.
hearts prayers situation tough
Our hearts and our prayers are all with Puck. We know its a tough situation out there.
envisioned
He can do those things. That's what we envisioned when he got him over here.
