I would say there were some unknowns about him. I've been pleased with the progress he's made.
|
I wouldn't put any limits on him. He can be a difference maker defensively, one of those guys who turns hits into outs.
|
I'd be happy if someone said he could come back by May 1. The trouble is, there is nothing in baseball to compare this injury to.
|
I'd like to see him get back down there and get on the horse.
|
I'd like to stay away from it. If it continues to be a problem, though, it's something we'll have to look at.
|
I'll tell you what, Gary came into camp with an attitude. He can play all three positions and switch-hit. He's a good guy to have around.
|
I'm going to play everybody, but Mark has certainly earned that opportunity.
|
I'm happy for Brad, he has been beating himself up.
|
I'm not sure, we'll sit down and talk about it on the plane.
|
I'm not worried they aren't getting enough at-bats. But we'll give them a few days working with Rudy before we put them back in a game.
|
I'm proud of the way our guys kept trusting everything -- [they] trusted themselves, their abilities and each other, and kept grinding. I think our pitching has made people more confident and relaxed at the plate.
|
I've been really happy with the walks. Guys have been aggressive attacking the strike zone. It's always something you want to do but you don't want to get stupid. You still want to get as many people out outside of the strike zone, too.
|
I've got a couple of things I want to say. Most of it is stating the obvious. This team has been through a lot together, they know where we fell short. I'm not going to insult their intelligence.
|
I've never seen the ball carry this time of year like it did tonight.
|
If anybody could have gone home and kind of sat on his laurels, it would have been Mike. I told Mike, 'You're being awful picky, but it is deeply appreciated.' Mike's a good shortstop, but he wants to be the best.
