Those are little hurdles you have to get over. Sometimes you have to learn to pitch with a lead, even if it's a slight lead. |
Those positions are wide open. We have a veteran in Reese and two young kids. To me, this camp is great because guys will have to push themselves. |
Three pitches, no fear, can throw all his pitches over at any time. He opened a lot of eyes in spring training. |
To come back after two tough losses, I think that's impressive. I've said all along our guys are resilient. They don't know how to get down. The next day, it's a new day for them. |
To me the best way to learn is on the job. You could keep guys down until they're 24 and 25 and they have great years in Triple A, you still don't know if they can do it here. |
To me, he's the best [catching teacher]. I don't think anyone is better with catchers. |
To me, it's silly in life if you don't ask for help sometimes. He's one of my tutors. |
To me, this camp is great because guys will have to push themselves. We have two spots taken and about 40 guys fighting for the rest. |
Today, we didn't play well, but we'll bounce back. |
Tonight was his best game. |
Too many 2-0 counts. But he kept us in the game. |
Until Jake establishes himself a little bit they might pitch around him more. |
Very close. We loved him. |
Walks have hurt us in one-run losses. When you walk the lead-off man, there is a good chance that he will be in scoring position with one out. |
Walks in this park will kill you. |
