He got two strikes on Reggie Taylor and kind of messed around with some kind of drop-down pitch to go 1-2, then just threw him a pitch right in his wheelhouse. |
He had a couple days where his hamstring was bothering him, so we didn't play him. Last night we finally got him back out there and he gets popped. |
He had a good spring and we want to see him build on it. He's had good springs the last two years. |
He had a tough day yesterday. I just feel like it's probably better not to have him out there on this field for today's game. |
He had a tough day yesterday. I just really feel like it's better not to have him on this field to start. After he had that kind of day yesterday, I'd just rather see him start [Friday] in St. Louis. |
He had an outstanding spring. He had some good at-bats off some pretty good pitchers. He really deserved a chance to open up the season. |
He had the green light to go. Yes, Molina is as good a throwing catcher as you're going to see. But we only had a couple hits. You've got to manufacture something. |
He has a chance to be a very good major-league catcher. I came into spring wondering about Dane. But I've been very impressed ... |
He has looked better on defense. And he definitely is locked in on offense. He has hit some balls hard. |
He has not hurt himself. He's done everything possible to make the club. He's played well in the outfield. |
He has to have a good outing every time out. If he does and continues to pitch like he'd done so far, he has a chance to stay with us. |
He hasn't done anything to hurt himself. |
He hit his spots. That had to be a confidence builder. You have to consider who he faced, but you still have to hit your spots. He has been a closer in Triple-A, so he has experience at the end of the game. |
He hit some balls hard. |
He hits a lot of people, ... He's one of the better young players in baseball, and he's having another very good year. I enjoy seeing guys that come and play the game hard. He does that. |
