We were behind the entire game, so that changes our strategy some. |
We were down 7-1, but still made things interesting. We're not going to go away. |
We were up there hacking like chefs at Benihana's the first three innings. |
We weren't at our best offensively. Batista didn't make it any easier on us. |
We will make our decision (today). We will evaluate what has happened and talk to the parties involved before we make any announcements. |
We will pitch to him only when we feel it's practical. |
We'll see how the winter goes, but he could fall into that, |
We'll show up. This is a road trip we have struggled with dramatically in the past. . . . We by no means take any team lightly. |
We're going to give him a little more time to work his way out of it. He's an important part of the lineup without Todd. . . . He's not trying to pull everything. He's conscious of going to the right side. When he gets hot, he can do major damage. |
We're just seeing how healthy he is. He is still working his way back arm-strength wise. There might be a little bit more arm there as he continues to pitch. We've always liked him. |
We're not going to accept being OK. |
We're not going to continually put 20 rookies out there. That's why we took the inventory that we took the last two years to find out what we had, and find a wave that would land and stay on beach, not be sent back out to the sea. |
We're not going to laugh at a 5-4 road trip. We've had times in the past we would have given body parts for a 5-4 road trip. |
We're not looking for cheerleaders. We're looking for men that can make a difference, and when a man has something to say, it's something of substance. |
We're not looking to bring a large number of people up, and try to pinch-hit and then pinch-run, and then [play] defense for somebody. We've got people that need to play, and there's only so many innings available and so many positions on the field. |
