It's a play where he's in between whether or not to try to stay on the base. Then at the last minute, he tries to come off and tag him at the same time. Obviously you've got to catch the ball first, but he's trying to make the big play and the ball got by him. You can't beat him up for it. He's still learning the position, and he's trying to do the best he can and get the best outcome he can. |
It's a results-based industry and we've given it some time and we just don't feel like we're getting the results. |
It's a very bright future. Which really can get you cost effective and you can spend some money on pitching. |
It's amazing for a guy his age. It seems like he's on base almost every at-bat, and when he's not, it's a shock. He struck out the other day and everybody was shocked that he actually struck out. |
It's been a tough year for him. |
It's been unbelievable. We've gotten good starts from every one of our starters, and the bullpen has come up big for us. So if those were the question marks coming out of Spring Training, obviously we're off to a good start. |
It's going to be fun for us. We'll look at any number of different lineups and we'll try some different combinations. From a managing standpoint, we have a chance to do a lot more things than we did last year. |
It's going to have to be an organizational decision that we talk about at the end of the season. |
It's good for him to be here and be around big leaguers, but at some point, he's got to get out on the field and play defense on a consistent basis. |
It's good that he gets the fruits of his labor. Nobody works harder than he does. |
It's good. We've struggled all year here, especially scoring runs and getting anything going. We had some pretty good, enthusiastic crowds the last two days, and it was good to put on a good show for them. |
It's not like we haven't been through a few dicey ninth innings before. |
It's not something I can relate to. He's a power guy who does those things. You look at the end of the year and he's going to be 35-plus and right around 100 (RBIs) and that's the kind of guy you go out and get and pay that kind of money to. |
It's tough to put a kid in that role. He certainly has that going for him. He can be one of those guys that does all those intangible things. |
It's tough to take him out, believe me, ... because it seems like [Webb] can go 15 innings when he's going like that. |
