constant definitely speed wait
We'll have to wait and see. We have a long spring. We have a lot of options, a lot of flexibility in our hitters. One thing is constant and that's our aggressiveness and speed and we'll definitely come with that.
aaron balanced stronger
We are stronger and more balanced with Aaron there. Aaron makes the whole nucleus that much better.
five last notion pitch pitches seven time
We went in with the notion of not having him pitch more than five or seven and 80-something pitches or whatever. He went 120 last time out. He's been really banged up.

We walked the tightrope a little bit, but it was a good game for the fans to watch.

The good thing about the World Baseball Classic is we get to see some kids play that we normally wouldn't.

barry best bonds conscious course decision faces game hitters hope obviously pick presence situation spots team totally
Every situation is totally different for me. Every team that faces Barry Bonds has the same dilemma. You just pick your spots in the course of the game and you try to make the right decision and hope that it's executed. It's no different than any other team. Obviously, he's still a presence and obviously he's still one of the best hitters in the game and you have to be very conscious of him.
anywhere ball
At 3-and-0, you don't want to give him a ball anywhere around the plate.
bring bullets few good save
At the time, I thought it was a good time. I just wanted to save a few bullets if I could ... You've got an 8-0 lead, you should be able to bring in one of your back-end relievers.
bat swinging
We've been swinging the bat well all year. Everyone contributes to that.

We just ran into a couple of good pitchers and they shut us down after leaving Arizona.

We just gave a heads-up that's a possibility. He'll stay on a regular routine for now and then we'll see.
