It's an opportunity to get some more innings for some younger guys. |
It's been a very successful spring. A lot has been covered ... taken in by these guys, and applied. That's all you can ask for. It's a very interesting mix. It has some intrigue to it. |
It's been suggested to J.D. for the time being to back off as far as swinging the bat. Am I saying we will not see him for the rest of the year? I'm not saying that. |
It's better than nice. Better than nice. That says a lot. The mere suggestion of it says a lot. |
It's flexible. It has the potential to be interchangeable. |
It's frustrating from the standpoint that we have a very competent offense that has proven if you keep this group hanging around, some good things will happen. A loss like this is unfortunate, considering the way this offense is playing. |
It's going to be just another game to those guys because they've been given at-bats. That's why they've been given at-bats, so that in a situation like this, they're ready and not rusty. |
It's going to be tough to score off us in the latter part of the game. If a starter has the know-how and capability of getting 18 outs with a slim lead, we're in pretty good shape. |
It's great to get him back in camp with us. I saw a guy on TV who really liked the arena that he was in. |
It's great to have starting pitching. We have the other things, and you saw that again, but we need good starts. Tonight, we got a great one. |
It's important for Duffy to find a way to reach first base without getting a hit every time he's up. |
It's important for him to remember to throw early strikes consistently. Fastball command is very important for Mike. If you have a guy who has the type of stuff he does, the ability to throw a consistent fastball is paramount. |
It's important that this entire group of players are involved. |
It's important to realize that we have two special major-league players here. I kind of want to find playing time for both. It's a wonderful trade off. |
It's kind of unfortunate when you consider how the offense is playing, and you get pitched right out of the game. |
