All in all, I felt like I was able to keep us in the game. We had some chances. And we fell short. |
Barry threw the ball well. Sometimes you have to put up more zeros than the other team. So it's back to the drawing board. |
But I sense a fair amount of experience in the room, along with the youth. |
Danny exudes the qualities that the Seattle organization is all about, |
From when it happened, it's a moot point for me. Carl Everett is going to contribute, and I'm happy to have anyone on our team who can contribute. |
Guerrero is a great hitter, ... The pitch wasn't where I wanted it. But he still could have popped it up. |
He acts far more mature than 19. He's very respectful to his teammates, he's very respectful to the game and it's very pleasant to see someone act that way. |
He adds so much to our organization and our community as a person as well as a player, ... and as a family man. |
He can hit the ball out of the park anywhere, probably out of the Grand Canyon. |
He did a nice job behind me today. He was thinking. I was quite impressed. He's made the effort from Day 1 to fit in and to learn. |
He didn't panic, but if he let it play out another one or two more fingers, he would have got right to where he needed to be. |
He does have a little bit to learn about pitching, learning about hitters, situations in games, things like that. That will come. Anybody at the age of 19 is going to be in that same situation. The things that he has that the average 19-year-old, sometimes 25-year-old guys don't have. And that's what's going to carry him. |
He doesn't have a strike zone. I say this respectfully — he's a freak. There aren't many hitters like him in the game. |
He got a lot of ground balls when he needed them, ... You've got to tip your hat sometimes to the opposing pitcher. |
He knows what he's doing and he's a true competitor. He's got some good ideas and he's not shy about expressing them. |
