I can't imagine being 19 years old and playing in a major league game - even if it's an exhibition game. He's going to be outstanding. |
I did not think he looked right at all. He did not complain about his knee. As a matter of fact, he said that he really couldn't feel [pain in] his knee until he threw on the side here. It was pretty obvious he didn't have the same stuff he had the first two outings. |
I didn't tell Hattie last night before he left. He might be shocked when he walks in the door, I don't know. |
I didn't think we'd be playing three straight night games at Wrigley, ... I looked forward to coming here and playing day games. |
I do know that we're better than that. |
I don't care what park you pitch in, I expect you to get guys out. I think if you lower your expectations, you'll have guys happy to give up some runs sometimes. I just believe in wherever you're pitching, you go out there and try not give up a run. If you give up a run, you try not give up two. |
I don't even know how to describe how well he's played. When we got him we knew he was a pretty good player and an outstanding prospect, but to drive in runs like he has is really special. |
I don't know about the physical part of it. He might make more errors this year than last. But I think with the mental part Bucky will really help him. |
I don't know if he does, but it seems like he enjoys hitting in this ballpark, ... And I wouldn't blame him. |
I don't know if he expected it, but he didn't sound surprised. |
I don't know if he had to prove it to anybody, but I think he definitely showed everybody he's still one of the best players in the game. |
I don't know if he'll be there the entire time. But he needs to go down and get some innings, work on his pitches and work on his game. |
I don't know, but funk or not, I like seeing him out there, ... He's a gamer, plays hurt, has played in a lot of games this year that a lot of guys would not have played. |
I don't know. But I don't think it helps him to sit there and not play. |
I don't know. He caught [Arroyo] the first day in Fort Myers. He had a really good day. We're just sticking with it. |
