bothering feeling foot pushing
His foot is still bothering him, so this is like pushing him back. If he was feeling 100 percent, he would have pitched. We'll re-evaluate as we go. I would think if we're mathematically out of it, he's not going to pitch.
learned year
It's my first year and I've learned a lot,
almost fastball good stolen swing
Jose's going to get his stolen bases. If you get a good fastball to hit, and you're a good fastball hitter, I want you to swing at it, almost like a hit-and-run.
affect days doom games given good last looking point team three weak
I would think any team at this point in time, given where we are, would be pretty weak if they let these games affect them. Because we're still there. We can make up for these last three days if we play well on the road. I'm positive, man. I feel good about my guys. No doom and gloom. We're looking forward.
affect games given point team weak
I would think that any team at this point in time, given where we are, would be pretty weak if they let these two games affect them,
continuity perfect solid somebody step
In a perfect world, yeah, you'd like somebody to step up. To have that solid lineup is what you like as a manager. You like to have that continuity going through it every day.
crying dwell sounds
You know that I get emotional, but I don't cry. I don't want to dwell too much on that play because it sounds like crying and I don't cry about these things.
pushing
I like him a lot. He's pushing everybody. I like what I see.
job managing
He has to do a better job of managing the game.
handle knows pitching veteran
He's a veteran guy. He knows how to handle a pitching staff.
last saves situations year
He had 17 saves last year I believe, right? He's been in situations like that where he's pretty comfortable. If you're in the bullpen, for the most part, I'm going to use you.
minor serious surprised test
He told me he was really kind of surprised that this has been so overblown. I thought the test was just a minor thing or whatever. There's nothing serious there.
hopefully learned next proud
I'm very proud of that. I think that is something we can take into next season. Hopefully we learned what you need to do to consistently win.
dinner people wish
He's one of those people you wish you could go have dinner with.
