The mental at-bats are really good. That's what I'm liking. |
The most difficult pitch for a young catcher to catch is the glove-hand side pitch. You have a tendency to want to turn your glove the wrong way, and that's when you break your thumb or at least bruise it. |
The plan was to at least get him in there two times a week. And that's what I thought coming into [the season] ... We'll just see. [Regular catcher Toby Hall is] wonderful also. |
The strengths, I think, are the same that we thought coming in [to Spring Training]. You look at the team on the field, it's a pretty good team on the field. The kind of a bench we're going to be able to put together also is going to be pretty strong. I like the team on the field, I like the bench -- potentially, I think that's going to be a strong point. |
The wasting of good pitching is a mortal sin, according to the Catholic church, in that you just can't do that. So I've always been a Catholic since I was born, and it's actually the 11th commandment and a lot of people don't know about that. |
The wasting of good pitching is a mortal sin, according to the Catholic church. It's actually the 11th commandment. That was outstanding. We'll take that every time out. |

The way he went about everything was perfect. I really liked his mound presence. |
The whole thing is just ripe to be a very good thing. |
Their guy topped us. But I thought Seth was outstanding. |
Then hopefully, by the time we go on the road, he might be ready for us. Maybe by the Oakland series. |
There was nothing you could do. That could have unloaded the bases. That's a triple, at least the way Carl runs. That was unfortunate. They came back. They got some hits, and they got us. |
There's a possibility on this staff to do this. |
There's no artificial goal-line for him right now. I just want him to get well because when he gets well, I want him to stay well and I don't want him to push it. |
There's no meetings going on. Just walking around talking to everybody like I normally do. We just have to weather the storm, and as this starts to dissipate, we'll be fine. |
