cautious felt foot innings loose starting took
He's been really banged up with his foot and his back's been stiffening up on him, ... With over 220-something innings this year, I just felt like we'd kind of be cautious with him and he was starting to stiffen up. Couldn't really get loose during the game, so I took him out.

I asked him how he felt. He said he felt great. I told him this was his last hitter, get this guy for me. And it didn't work out.
base bunt feels felt game hit maybe might prefer rather swing
I told him that I'd prefer him not to do that, ... He felt he could maybe get a bunt base hit and, like I said earlier, if he makes it, then we're O.K. But even if he makes it, it still might not be the right play. But he feels that's part of his game in his mind. But personally, no, I'd rather him swing the bat.
