Everybody talked about, when we brought Russ in here, he will get out of his own jams but you have to be patient with him and he did today, |
Everybody that's been to this place knows it as the BOB. We won a World Series here, but almost every ballpark at some time or another changes now. |
Everybody who's played against Kirby or knows him is saddened. Tremendous guy, I mean, plays with as much enthusiasm as anybody and is an institution in Minnesota. I know Kirby and our prayers are with him. |
Everybody's vulnerable at some point during the season. Right now it looks like he's not swinging his best, but that could turn in a dime. |
First and third, nobody out, you've got to find a way to score some runs right there. |
First, get him healthy and look at a potential rehab assignment, work on some things and get him to the point where we feel like he's ready to go back out there and compete again. |
For a while there, it almost felt like we were set back a little bit because of that play. |
For him to be sent down a week ago or so and come out with that kind of focus and pitch as well as he did -- it's a credit to him. |
For me, it means we're going to have depth all the way through, and that's something we didn't have last year. One through eight this year is a significant difference than one through eight last year. |
Garrett Mock impressed me quite a bit. He throws pretty hard -- little breaking ball, changeup. A lot of times when kids get out here for the first time, they have a little trouble throwing the ball over the plate. But, boy, he got right after guys and gave the appearance that he belonged. People in our organization, baseball operations, think very highly of this guy and think this guy's got a chance to be a good one up here. |
Given the depth one through eight, I think we'll have strong feeling that we'll have a chance to score in every inning this year. |
Ground-level construction in flood areas may raise the up-front price of a retail project, but it improves the return far more. |
He came through for us. Our whole bullpen came through. |
He certainly did enough [last year] to warrant that. I know he's excited about preparing and going into the season as our closer. Certainly looking at it on paper right now, Valverde is definitely the guy. |
He didn't have his command today. |
