We didn't deserve to win that game. I don't know how we were even in it. |
We do not want him sitting; we want him playing. We just don't have room for him. He wants to be a major league player every day, and I'm sure he thinks he can. He might be right. But with Dunn, Griffey and Kearns out there, it's tough to break in there right now. |
We felt like there were other people ahead of him. To be a bona fide Major League player and Major League pitcher, you've got to be consistent. At times, he was very, very good. At other times, he was very bad. What separates you is consistency. |
We got some big hits from Dunn and Griffey. Griff's big three-run homer was huge for us at the time of the ballgame ... I like the way we played. |
We got what we needed, they got what they needed. A lot of times people get caught up in, 'We got the better end of that trade.' But if you fill holes, it doesn't matter what the guy you traded does. |
We had a couple of at bats that could have turned the game around, but (Lidle) didn't give in. |
We had a good conversation. |
We had other pitchers ahead of him (on the depth chart). Bona fide major-league pitchers have to be consistent. At times, Hudson was very, very good. At times he was very, very bad. What separates everybody is consistency. |
We had pitchers on their pitch counts, and we could get them in and get them out. Maybe yesterday was too early to be playing somebody else. |
We had plays we should have made and just didn't. I do know that we're better than that. |
We had plays we should have made, and we just didn't. |
We had some chances, and we had some pretty good at-bats, but we had nothing to show for it. We just didn't get a big hit when we needed it. |
We had some chances. We made some defensive plays I don't like to see. |
We hate to lose him. I thought he was an outstanding instructor. But I'm happy for him - making that decision, putting his family first. A lot of us talk about it; very few do it. |
We have a pretty good idea what he can do for us. He did a great job last year. He's just one of those guys who, every year, it will come down to the end of spring training. That's the position he's in. It's the here and now and what's around him. |
