I think Posada really was a key figure for us tonight in a lot of ways. |
I think Randy was getting a little upset that they weren't swinging. He was throwing hard, and he had a couple that were close shaves. |
I think right now he's dealing with the fact that this is the first winter that he's laid out, not because he was lazy but because he felt his body needed to heal. |
I think right now we have already diluted that. |
I think right now we have already diluted that. They broke 60 every year. The only good part that came out of this, besides the fans were entertained, all of sudden somebody thought highly of Roger Maris. |
I think that right now it's called into question, and that's a shame. Because in Barry's case, [he was] such a good player long, long ago, before there was any doubt about what made him a good player. |
I think that's personality more than anything. (Hideki) Matsui is so different and he's got the language barrier, too. |
I think the equalizer when it comes to road games is [the bullpen]. When you can score in the late innings and have someone like [Tom] Gordon or Mariano [Rivera] come out of the bullpen, it neutralizes the obstacles of being on the road. |
I think the one thing that baseball has always tried to maintain was the integrity because our game, more than any other game, statistics are so important. I think that right now that is called into question, and it's a shame in Barry's case. |
I think the only good thing about the home run stuff is that everybody starts thinking Roger Maris is a good player now. He certainly has been the whole time. |
I think the postseason is a time to think small, yes, ... You have to really think about fundamentals and be able to think one run at a time. |
I think there's going to be a lot of people interested. Even going back to Houston, going back in May, I don't think is going to be any big deal for him. It'll probably benefit him, the fact that he won't have to pitch the whole time. |
I think this has helped our confidence in terms of scoring runs. |
I think this is just a freak thing. |
I think we have to change. We have to improve our bullpen somewhat and find someone to play center field. |
