Joel threw the ball well today, they hit some balls right at us. He had some quick innings and had a low pitch count. |
Joel was awfully good. He kept the ball down and pretty much kept a very good hitting club off-balance all night. The balls they hit hard we had them played right. |
Joh hurt his thumb a little bit in Spring Training and it hasn't got much better. He says it doesn't bother him, but I'm not sure I believe him. It's been my experience with players that they have a tendency to minimize things. |
Jose has come along really well. That home run he hit right there was huge. |
Just pure talent-wise, this kid has a chance to be somebody people are talking about for a long, long time. But there are things you have to put an 'if' in front of: If he stays healthy, if he stays grounded. ... |
Kansas City is going through a tough time right now obviously. But they still have good hitters. Felix threw the ball well. The pitches he made would have been tough on anyone. |
Kevin can still pitch and agreed to go. We'll see how things work out. We can recall him, or he may have an option to retire. |
Key out of our game? I don't know. It was the most obvious. But Schilling was tough. |
Knowing Adrian, this doesn't surprise me. He's always going to volunteer. |
Last night was a little more enjoyable. Eddie Guardado is our closer and he will remain our closer. And things will turn around for him. |
Last year, he generally didn't run with a pitcher that quick. This year, he has. |
Let's not make a mountain out of a molehill. He'll be back tomorrow. |
Lopez changes speeds and throws that little two-seamer [sinker]. From my vantage point, watching on TV, it appeared he kept us off-balance. |
Matt has been a good big-league player. We'll make the switch to get him some at-bats ... give Jeremy time to regroup. If Matt swings and plays the way Matt can, it will make things interesting. |
Maybe I'm stupid, but I don't pay attention to the historical part. I know it is. I get that. But my main concern is how well we do and him catching for us gives us a chance to be good. He gives us leadership and defense we didn't have last year. |
