certain inventing start
When your infielder can't go out and play, you get a little nervous. You start to look around and inventing things on how you could get through it if certain things happen.
needs starting time
We're starting to get concerned. It's mid-March, and he hasn't been out there yet. We have time, but the time is getting to where he needs to get out there and see some hitters.
banging definitely guys middle runs start
We definitely need those guys to hit, that's the middle of the lineup. We need our middle guys to start banging the runs around.
battling easier few good guys numbers players positions start stretching work
We're getting down to a few numbers where we can work it a little easier and not try to get everyone in. We want to start stretching out our players and take a good look at some of these guys that are battling each other and battling for positions on this team.
hit messing start
We're doing fine. I'm not going to start messing around with guys' brains. In time, he'll hit cleanup. We've said that before.
push starting worry
We have time, but if we push it another week, it's going to be iffy. I'm starting to worry a little bit.
baseball fun past puck punching situation starts
We're going through enough in our situation here with Puck and the whole package, and then this comes back out and starts punching baseball in the head. It's not much fun to see again. I thought we were past that era.
bit less muscle people percent pulls season shoulder sore starting sudden talking types
To me, starting the season with people less than 100 percent is very, very scary. I'm not talking about a little bit of a sore shoulder or something you play through, but I'm talking about muscle pulls and those types of things. Those come back and all of a sudden you're out.
good start
We feel pretty good when you start writing out a roster. Even with the injuries, it's not bad.
good innings news ready somewhat start stretched whether
The good news is that we'll get his innings stretched out and he'll be somewhat ready to start the season. Whether it's here right away or down the road, he'll be on that schedule.
anybody bullpen protected ready september starting themselves throwing
We've protected our starting staff, so they're good, they're ready to go. We haven't let anybody kill themselves throwing 120 pitches, so we're set up for September pitching-wise, if our bullpen can maintain.
sending silly start stupid
Sending him back out there, that's a little silly to try to do something stupid with a man's career. We haven't done that to him all year, and we weren't going to start today.
