If I don't get it done here I'll feel like I've failed. I'm one of the spokes in the wheel that will turn this organization around.
If I'm a pitcher and I'm paying close attention, I'm certainly not going to be afraid to attack somebody's bat. I want the ball in play -- because they're going to make plays.
If our young players weren't developing, if I didn't see passion or energy, then that falls into my boat,
If the call had taken place two days before that call and I don't pick it up, then shame on me.
If there are two areas right now that you'd like to see us [improve] it's the consistency of our starting pitching and our execution in game-changing at-bats.
If there's a better double-play combination, show it to me.
If there's a save on Tuesday, Brazoban goes out there, ... It's that simple.
If this kid maintains the same type of mentality and approach that he possesses right now, it's a matter of time before you start strongly talking about the fact that he is a candidate to come here and start a Major League game. I look at this guy as being a very good starting pitcher some day.

If you have them, great. If not, there are people in every clubhouse in baseball that every player in the room identifies with. I don't think that he necessarily needs a 'C' on his shoulder or anything like that.
If you look at all the offense we're getting, five or six runs a game, that's got to be good enough. But to expect seven or eight a day? Ridiculous. It's not going to happen. It hasn't happened in the history of the game.
If you want to swing off of live pitching, go right ahead. But recognize the fact of what a strike is and what a ball is. Let's get a good swing at a good pitch.
In a perfect scenario, you'd have Joe hitting sixth. But if it's not perfect, I could see him hitting fifth, somehow behind Casey and Jason Bay. This is a guy who knows how to keep the offense moving, hit to all fields.
In Spring Training, I talked a lot about the value of guys on the bench. If they're going to be productive players, you've got to find spots for them.
