You don't know how good he is until you sit in the dugout. He looks deadly. |
You expect him to change the game real quick. It's pretty easy with him. He's the guy who can do it. |
You get beat when you walk guys, and we did tonight. |
You get very excited about him. [He has] everything: catching, throwing, hitting, switch-hitter. He's got it all. He's a ballplayer. |
You go to Spring Training every year expecting to win, |
You got to have some patience with them. No sense in bringing them up here, playing four or five games, sending them right back out. If they're good enough to put on this uniform, to me, they're good enough to play. |
You have to tip your hat to Roger Clemens, ... He came in throwing the way he did, on a couple of days rest. He did a remarkable job. |
You know, baseball is crazy these days. Everything passes so fast. A lot of [those guys] I haven't seen in a while. |
You look at his [career] record and don't know where this came from. |
You look forward to any time Bonds is playing because he's that good. |
You take your chances, |
You've got to be impressed. |
You've got to give Philly credit. They hit the ball. They don't strike out. We're not striking anybody out at all and they're striking us out right now. |
You've got to remember you've got to pitch in the first inning, not just throw. It's not a throwing contest. You've got to pitch. I looked at every single replay, and every one of them was right down the middle, belt high. |
