That was good to see, ... It was just one time, but hopefully that shows him he can get up in there. |
That was something that I usually like to do periodically, but today was a perfect time to do it. I always like to let guys know where I'm coming from and what I expect. It worked out good, because if we were on the field, we probably wouldn't have had it. |
That's good news. I spoke to him today and it sounded like he had marbles in his mouth. |
That's hard to say. He's young. It depends on what kind of year he starts out with. If you look down and he's tearing it up, and we need someone to help us out, yeah. |
That's his spot and he needed the work. |
That's just the way it falls. I told you earlier I wasn't going to get into that personal catcher thing. |
That's part of the whole evaluation of what we want to do. |
That's the toughest thing for a young player to learn, and at the major-league level he has to be able to do it consistently. It's tougher to turn the double play at second than at shortstop because your back is to the runner. You have to have a lot of heart, nerve and confidence. |
That's very important. I like my pitchers to stay focused and execute pitches and not get wrapped up in the score, but that's not very easy to do. Jae got a little tired at the end. We had some long innings, but he did keep us in the game as far as getting throught the first five pretty easily. |
That's what he is, man. |
That's what it's all about. You don't want to mess up that rhythm. I'm not just going to throw Matsui in there when he gets back. If we're playing well, and [Hernandez] is doing certain things, then he's going to play. That could be all year as far as I'm concerned. I'm not going to fool around with a situation that's working. |
That's what we want to do. We want to keep adding. Keep the pressure on. |
That's why we don't panic. That's why we still feel good about this team. |
That's why you don't panic, ... That's why you don't overreact. |
That's why you don't panic. That's why you don't overreact. We know very well that things can change at the drop of a dime, so we'll just keep playing. |
