Dale Sveum Quotations

Obviously I saw him trip. I thought he was going to get up. He wasn't grabbing anything, and it looked like he was smiling. But when I got to him, he said, 'It's blown out.' He knew.

Unfortunately, this setback cost us a little bit of work. There's still some stuff around the bag he has to get more comfortable with. During the season, it gets a lot easier to work. We'll do more work as the season goes on.

Instead of (having) head movement, you want to keep as still as possible, limit your body movement. It's all more streamlined now. It's amazing he has picked it up that easily.

In the long run, because of the atmosphere and what's going on here, it made it so appealing to him that he could finally have an impact with the young players.
