You shouldn't play like this at home. It's not acceptable. |
You show me that you can do things and perform well on the field, then I have confidence in you. Joey had performed very well for me over the years. So this is why he gets a longer leash. You get a little bit more leeway than someone that hasn't performed for you or someone that you don't know. |
You think I would have stayed in the dugout if I saw it come out? |
You think I would have stayed in the dugout if I'd seen [the ball] come out? It doesn't do any good now. |
You tried the kids to [get you through the early innings] and they didn't do the job, so you might as well go the other way, ... Instead of saving those guys in the back end ... we'll start one of those guys that could keep us in the ballgame. |

You'd like to see him a little bit more in control, ... and understand, especially in this situation, the importance of having everybody available here and not being without one of your better players for any type of time, even if it's one game. |
You're told by the umpire that you're allowed to pitch inside. What does that do? You're allowed to pitch inside until we feel like in our minds that you're throwing at someone intentionally. How do you know when that is? |
You've seen how ugly it's been and how desperate we needed to win a game. Hopefully, this will get us going. |
Zach Day has good enough stuff to win at this level. He's shown flashes, but he hasn't put it together over a long period of time. |
Zimmerman is not the savior here. Is it fair to the other people that have been here all year long to get us where we were then all of the sudden you put them down and put the kid out there? |
Zimmerman makes a knack of making that [diving] play. He just has tremendous reflexes. |
