It's not a concern to me. I hadn't even thought about it. Jenkins is swinging the bat OK. |
It's not easy; it's hard. You've got to get into good eating habits and good conditioning habits early. If you don't, it can get away from you. This is real important for his career. |
It's not going to be easy. And nothing worthwhile is easy. |
It's nothing serious but it got him right in the meat part of his hand. It's just a little sore. |
It's possible Wise or Santana will go out on a rehab assignment to pitch a few innings. We just want to make sure they're OK before we make a roster move and send somebody out. |
It's ridiculous to say that we don't enjoy it. It's a great start for us. With young clubs, you get off to a good start and you can carry this roll deep into the season. It's a good spot to be in. |
It's ridiculous to say we're not enjoying this. It beats any alternative. |
It's too early in the spring to be pushing anything like that. If it was during the regular season, he wouldn't even have said anything. |
It's tough on him. He's either pitching a lot or not pitching. |
It's tough when you start the season with the workload that he had. |
J.J. has been outstanding. We have turned some nice double plays already (nine in three games). He's been great. |
J.J. is going to hit some home runs. He's not a Punch-and-Judy hitter. Both of the home runs he has hit (this week) have been big for us. |
Jeff Cirillo is a solid player. He's been a great addition to the team. He does everything well. I'm not afraid to put him at second base. |
John Smoltz is pretty good. He's been pretty good for a long time. |
Knowing he would be a little more geared up, he wanted to back off on his breaking ball. It's something we all talked about. The second inning he had easy life on his fastball. You could see he was feeling good. He's right on schedule. |
