pushing
I like him a lot. He's pushing everybody. I like what I see.
billy breaking building protect
I'm legit now. I won't be breaking Billy Martin's or Earl Weaver's records, but that's been building up for a long time. I don't want to get a reputation, but I want to protect my players.

continue
I'm just going to continue to let everyone play.
happy
I'm just happy to be part of this day.
decision great hard player sorry tough
I'm sorry to see him go. He's been a great player for a lot of years. Obviously, it was a decision he's thought long and hard about. It's a very tough decision.
bat certain hands plate poise speed willing
His hands have been good. I like his approach, I like that he's willing to take a walk. He has a certain poise at the plate with some bat speed at the end of his swing.
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.
adhere concerned control guys happens people policy
I have no control over what people do. It's unfortunate for them, but we have a drug policy and you have to adhere to that. If guys want to take on that, it's on them. I'm concerned about what happens on the big-league level. We have a policy in place and everyone understands that. That's the law.
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.
I like where we are. And I like where I think we're going.
ball carries continues obviously pitch seen threw
I like what I've seen from him all spring, actually. He threw the ball well today, and I like the way he carries himself. If he continues to pitch well, he obviously has a chance.
bullpen five guy innings mess shaping
I like the way our bullpen is shaping up right now. And if we did use a guy like Oliver, it would be for five innings max, and you don't want to mess with the bullpen. So it probably will be someone from Triple-A.
feels wants
If Pedro feels he wants to play, he has my blessing.
