What makes Q attractive is he can play all over the outfield, can hit from both sides of the plate and is used to coming off the bench. |
What'd Ortiz pitch? Six innings? I think he had about 22 or 23 outs made. |
When a manager puts a reliever in, he's got to trust him to throw strikes. That's a big part of being able to use a pitcher out of the bullpen. |
When he's ready to go, we'll activate him. |
When he's ready to go, we'll activate him. We'll see where he is in the next two days. |
When he's ready to pitch in the Major Leagues, we'll bring him up, if that's April 1 of this year or its April 1, 2008. My whole thing is if you're ready, not how much time you've spent in the Minors. |
When I came in here two years ago, I was surprised at just the overall makeup and attitude of the club, and I think he is definitely going to change that for the better. I came from the Red Sox, and it was all about winning, performing on the field. It was more than just existing. When I got here, it was almost like the feeling was just existing. |
When I die, they're going to put 'He believed in God, pitching and defense' on my headstone. |
When it gets down to these last few cuts, it gets very, very difficult. |
When pitchers are pitching well, they're repeating well, physically and mentally. I don't know about the mental part of it, because I'm not in [Hudson's] head. But physically, he gets out of sync, and it takes him a few batters to get it back. |
When we get that, we've got a chance to win every night. |
When we were hitting the ball out of the ballpark, we scored runs. We weren't able to generate anything, especially against the good pitchers. If you're going to beat good pitching, you can't rely on just the home run. |
When you face the two best teams in the division, it means a lot to win four out of five. |
When you get to the end of a back-and-forth game and you have a chance to tie or go ahead (after starting in a 6-3 hole), that's about all you can ask for. |
When you get two out and nobody on, you really need to bear down and put them away. |
