I don't want him to reel in his emotions. |
I don't want to go through this again. That wasn't the case the other day. Sandy Koufax tips his pitches. It didn't keep him out of the Hall of Fame. |
I don't want to say he got used to it, but I think he understood this year, with his reduced role, that this is what he should be concentrating on. That doesn't mean he's not valuable. |
I don't want to say he's concerned, but he wasn't pleased. Not angry, don't get me wrong. We had a nice conversation. I put (myself) on the line and said, 'We're going to be fine.' I hope that's the case. |
I don't want to say we're 'fighting' because that [suggests] we didn't care last year. But I see a lot more going out and getting it, as opposed to sitting back and waiting for things to turn around. |
I expected to see him when I came back in here, but evidently he didn't want to be around. |
I expressed my unhappiness about Mel leaving. That's no secret, ... The man gave his life and loyalty here for 10 years, and I'm going to miss him. I still have him as a friend, which is very important to me. |
I feel better about him this year than I did last year. Knowing that he never felt like everything was there, just with what he's volunteering this year and the way he's moving around, I sense he's feeling a lot better about himself, physically. |
I feel more secure playing him at first base on a field I know is good. |
I felt good leaving camp last year. I felt we had the deepest pitching staff we'd had. There are more questions this year, but Randy and Moose are throwing better, and our bullpen guys have really come around. |
I felt pretty cocky that anything hit in the air was going to come back into the park, just the way the night was going. |
I felt pretty good at 3-0. At 4-0, it was even better. |
I felt very comfortable watching Randy pitch. The first three innings it looked like he was having an easy time locating the ball. But that inning, it seemed like the more pitches he tried to make, the less success he had trying to locate them. |
I got excited about it, ... People are going to remember a hit like that more than a home run when we're ahead 6-0. |
I got from him that he was interested or would be open to it, and then I just left it to Brian. |
