A huge part of the game is keeping guys from taking bases. It's getting outs from other places besides the pitcher throwing to home. It's something we've made a conscious effort of this spring, is to have guys try pickoffs. |
A lot of coaches will want to see how he does the first few games. They are big games, but it's no added pressure. Playing in front of 6,000 people is pressure enough. I have no doubt that Travis will take it all in stride. |
A lot of communities have established over the years their own tradition of how they do it. Some of them have formal ceremonies. I've been to some where they bring in the high school band, a choir group from a local church. |
A lot of companies in the midst of Linux development have put their plans on hold because they don't want to be in a situation where they would have to owe SCO some royalties, ... So you can see why there's an axe to grind. |
A lot of dedicated Latin American investors put money in Mexico betting on its safe-haven status. As things looked like they were heading for a full-blown crisis in Argentina, many took some profits in Mexico to raise cash. |
A lot of employers would say it is too easy at the moment for unions to be able to put themselves in a position where they can take protected industrial action and, once it is occurring, too difficult to bring it to an end, |
A lot of it comes out of the personal frustrations that parents feel in their own lives. They want to see their own kids win, and it's very easy to go over the line ... The stakes are just a lot higher than they used to be. |
A lot of our young players got a lot of reps. That will benefit them come fall. I'm encouraged with our overall effort. We're seeing good enthusiasm and good tempo on the field but we are still making far too many mistakes. |
A lot of teams have one star. It's the people underneath that make the difference. The high school environment is about supporting each other. It's not just about one person. They're all working really well together so far. |
A lot of the companies like to advertise moves like this because it's good for stock prices, ... but a lot of other companies like to keep it quiet. We can find it in an annual report -- but they don't have to put it there. |
A lot of this is sort of a unification of all these (separate) efforts into a base platform that meets the needs of more than one vendor. There really is no vendor neutral development on (mobile) Linux. There all different. |
A lot of times when you try to kick away from Ted and Tone it messes up the rhythm of the punter, ... Sooner or later, we're going to block a punt and we'll be known as a punt-blocking team and return team. That's the goal. |
A lot of times, people get caught up in trying to place themselves in a number in the rotation instead of just going out and pitching. If I can pitch 35 or 36 games, that is all that matters, not whether it's first or last. |
A lot of veterans on this team have been through a lot and have been through a lot of down years here. They kind of instilled in the young players to take advantage of this opportunity. I think as a whole, we're doing that. |
A lot went on at the beginning of the year. Some nights, some guys were there, other nights they weren't. The way the league is now, you have to have every guy going, every line going, every night and putting the effort in. |
