We think a lot of him. He's had a good camp. Most definitely, he's gotten our attention. |
We threw the ball around a bit out there. It was a couple of tough plays. We made mistakes and they took advantage. |
We want competition. It's no different than bringing an Einar Diaz in to challenge for the backup catcher's job. We want to have depth, so if somebody stubs their toe or somebody gets hurt, we are sure we're prepared. |
We want Grady and Jason to get a feel for each other at the one and two spots and also get a feel for each other in left field and center field. We've matched them up. |
We were hopeful that Robby would come on board when Buddy went to Kansas City. We were very pleased he decided to come on board as the bench coach. He hasn't missed a beat. |
We were in a position where we didn't want to face Ortiz and then Ramirez. |
We were in every single game, ... We just came up a little short. We were one hit away all week. |
We were just one hit short again. That was really the story for our week. |
We were not executing our pitches. The difference was more on our side. |
We will mix it up from time to time, but that will be the main lineup. |
We will still feel Millwood's presence here. The intangibles he brought to our team, he had a very positive impact on many of our players, which should carry over to this year. |
We won't have the starters play as much early (in the exhibition schedule), but they will play a lot late. |
We worked on it before, and we're going to keep working on it. |
We'll have further discussion as far as how to set up the rotation. |
We'll have to finish off some fundamental things [on the field] on the shorter day. |
