One center fielder, Craig Gentry, may have saved Friday's game with a highlight-reel sliding catch. Another, Coco Crisp, comes off the bench to drive in the winning run in the bottom of the eighth inning. "You need an entire roster," A's manager Bob Melvin said. The A's have done this kind of thing so often it's not even a surprise anymore. It's just how they do things around there. Wait, there's more. The starting pitcher, Brad Mills, lasts only four innings. Behind him, four relievers toss five shutout innings. "We count on picking each other up," catcher Derek Norris said. . . . In a system that mixes and matches players depending on the situation, the players focus on the bottom line. If it's the right thing for the A's, then it's the right thing for all the A's. "They know," Melvin said. "They know that just because you don't start a game doesn't mean you might be the biggest impact player in the game. They know we're going to match up here for the most part. It keeps everybody fresh, everybody ready, keeps everybody involved,which leads to great team chemistry." Some of that chemistry is a tribute to Melvin. No manager in baseball is better at communicating with his players and sensing what needs to be said, either individually or as a club. His secret may be a core decency. When he speaks to his players, it's with no agenda. He simply is interested in winning and asks that his players see the world through the same lens. "He's a player's coach," Norris said. "He's got your back whenever something goes away. He backs you up even if you're wrong. He's going to support you. People respond positively to that. He communicates well with all of us." . . . Best team in baseball? "We just play," Melvin said. "At this point in time, we have a good record, but we don't take anything for granted. We know over the course of a season, things are going to swing back and forth. To this point in time, we've played well. We really don't look farther than the next game." 全文 http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20140621&content_id=80839052 Melvin 真的很棒!! -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 180.176.29.216 ※ 文章網址: http://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Athletics/M.1403352566.A.F05.html
