That's a real good club, but we're a good club, too. I certainly don't think we embarrassed ourselves. We played them pretty much tooth and nail. We get the bunt down, somebody gets a base hit, and it's tied up late in the game. Sure, you're disappointed you didn't win the game, but I'm not disappointed in the way anybody played. |
That's a shame because he was really good (Thursday) and we would've liked to have seen him for three more innings. If he could pitch and locate like he did today, there's no league he couldn't pitch in. |
That's a very nice three-four punch (in the lineup). You've got one (batting) from the left and one from the right. |
That's all forgotten. When it's over, it's over. |
That's as good as it gets on the teams I've managed. I just want to get base hits. He's swinging the bat and it goes over the fence. I don't know how that works. |
That's good, real good. If a guy does that 50 or 60 times, that's phony, but what he did today was real. |
That's good. That's real good. I like that. |
That's just what the doctor ordered. |
That's not really a secret. |
That's one of those freak things from a human being blessed with a wonderful arm. |
That's some kind of man right there. He's strong, athletic. He's got a chance to be special. |
That's the catch-22 of the whole thing. But right now, it is what it is, and that's how we're going to go until we find something that makes more sense. Right now he's one of our 12 best pitchers, and he's here. |
That's the way it is. |
That's why it's spring training. They hit the ball really well. They're all professional hitters. That's not a surprise. It happens. |
That's why they're the world champions. They pitch and they catch it. |
