chat fun goes good help knows listen plus seeing taking talking
I think having him around has been a big plus for us, because he knows what he's talking about and he's fun to listen to. It's good to have him here. Taking groundballs with him and seeing how he goes about his business, then getting to chat with him. It does nothing but help us as young players.
afraid confidence good throw
He (Kazmir) has good stuff. You can see when his confidence is rising. He's not afraid to throw the off-speed. It was good to get him off the mound. He was rolling.
almost both definitely deserve feels game games good image last losses matched mirror pitch scratch tonight week win
It was almost a mirror image of last week's game when they matched up. Last week they got the win and tonight we were able to scratch out a win for Bush. To pitch the way he pitched in both the last two games he definitely didn't deserve to get two losses for it. It feels good to give him the win and good for our club.
achieve focus good hard legs opening prepare ready shape spring sure trying work
I don't know if I'm working harder, I'm just trying to get my work in each day. I think it's important in the spring to focus more on work than trying to prepare for the games. Getting your legs in good shape and making sure that you're ready to go when opening day comes is really important. Working hard down here is the only way that you can achieve that.
flew fun funds good mean plane videotape wedding
It was good fun at our expense. We thought that after the plane flew by that that was it. But they have the funds to do more than that. I mean they even had wedding invitations, a D.J., someone to videotape it, flowers, even gifts. It was great.
good help last numbers together worry
The last thing I want to do is look at my numbers and worry about that. I want to put together good at-bats each night. That's the one thing I can do to help my numbers out.
good mound
It was good to get him off the mound because he was rolling.
good spring training work
The good thing is we have all spring training to work together.
deal fought good learning overall played season ups
We played with scrappiness and fought all the way through. Overall it was a good season learning with how to deal with ups and downs.
ball feet gets good position quick reasons rid talk
We talk about footwork more than anything -- getting your feet in position to throw. He gets rid of the ball really quick and I think that's one of the reasons why, because his feet are always in a good position.
against confidence good mound rolling
He's got good stuff. You can see his confidence is rising. It was good to get him off the mound because he was rolling and we couldn't do much against him.
commitment far hit looking moves nose pressure run team type
I think this is the type of off-season that they were looking to have. I think that they hit it right on the nose as far as what they were looking to do. You got your own expectations for yourself as well and when you make those kind of moves and when the organization makes that commitment to try and make your team a lot better, you've got to kind of take that pressure and run with it.
goes seems
When you're down, you're down. It seems like nothing really goes your way.
paid practice repetition talk techniques work
He doesn't talk as much as (Hudson) did. But it's all really the same techniques we're using. It's all about repetition and getting to know each other. We're out there every day before and after practice getting our work in and the work has paid off.
