I don't see any loss as respectable. We had our chances to win and we didn't get it done. |
I don't think Hanley lacks confidence. I think Hanley is not surprised that he made that play last night. Now, he might have surprised some of his teammates who haven't seen him play on a daily basis. But I don't think Hanley is surprised he made that play. He went a long ways over. I'm not surprised at what he does. |
I don't think his at-bats have changed a lot. Sometimes, you just don't get hits. The biggest thing is you keep your frustration level down, and he has seemed to work through that. |
I don't think I necessarily have a philosophy where you can put a term on it, |
I don't think there's any question about the heart of these kids. They want to win, and they want to be big-league players. It's us growing up as a team and eliminating minor mistakes and getting better every day. |
I don't worry about him defensively. I think you'll see a lot better defensive player in six weeks. They're all going to school right now. |
I have to make several duplicates of every scorecard. |
I just can't wait to watch him work. I can't think of anyone better to coach the infield. |
I just think they're excited. Miguel Cabrera unloaded the bags. He was calling out the numbers. It was kind of humorous. |
I just turned away. Maybe we should have him out for early work, practicing head-first sliding, I don't know. |
I just want him to be himself. Don't try to do too much -- because I'm not going to let you do too much -- because it's my job to make sure that he doesn't get away from what he does and who he is. |
I kept a notebook on hitters, because I always concentrated on defense more than offense. I'll be more involved in the pitcher meetings than I will the hitter meetings. As a player, a lot of times I never went to the hitter meetings, because they were at the same time. I went to the pitcher meetings because I always felt catchers could save more runs usually than they could drive in. |
I kicked it around in my head. It's basically just been a thought in my head. I haven't spoken to him about it. |
I kind of got emotional watching them play. They were trying so hard. Our guys grew up a little bit tonight. |
I know it's not as quickly as he would like. I noticed the other day he was a little miserable that it didn't respond the way he would have liked. |
