baseball good played
We played some good teams, some good baseball at times. Just didn't get over the hump.
baseball came classic guys overall played pleased ready
Overall I was pleased with the spring. All the guys who played in the World Baseball Classic came back healthy. We're ready to go.
baseball finish finishes home regardless schedule sets trip
We'll know where we are by the end of this trip and then we'll still have to go home and finish strong. A lot can happen, but the way the schedule sets up, regardless of how this trip finishes up, we still have a lot of baseball to play.
baseball classic good kids normally
The good thing about the World Baseball Classic is we get to see some kids play that we normally wouldn't.
baseball bit gods mistake seem showing
The baseball gods are showing me a little bit of everything this year. We just seem to make a mistake at the most inappropriate time.
baseball bit boils gods learning positive showing unusual winning
The baseball gods are showing me a little bit of everything this year, and that was one of the more unusual (plays). I'm still positive about these guys. . . . But it just boils down to learning how to play winning baseball.
players six three together
I think we had, what, three players who had six hits. You've got to put it together more than that.
games
I think we should be 10 games over really.
love manager mind
I think any manager in his right mind would love to have a Pedro Martinez.
arizona carry city coming good great mean nice pitching runs thinking
Just because you have a nice feel coming into a city doesn't mean you're going to carry it over. I wasn't thinking just because we scored a lot of runs in Arizona that we were going to come here and do the same thing necessarily. We got after it pretty good there. But that's a great hitters' ballpark, a different pitching staff.
beat managers mean rarely talk tight trying
Just because we're tight doesn't mean we talk all the time, especially when you're trying to beat each other. Very rarely do the managers talk to each other after the game.
attack fastball good pitches saw sneaky
I saw him on TV. He's got a good curve, a sneaky fastball and he pitches inside. I was impressed. But we're going to attack him. You don't give him too much respect. He's a young player, and you've got to attack him. You don't let him get too comfortable.
honest man meant mind respect speaks
I respect a man that speaks his mind and is honest in what he believes. I don't feel he meant any disrespect.
ready trust
Pedro will be ready. I trust Pedro that he'll be ready to go. That's what I go by.
