We did a lot of talking, and all of this stuff is behind us, |
We didn't get anything going against Bush. He kept us off guard, and we didn't have any timing. He kept us off balance and threw a lot of strikes. |
We didn't plan on the swan dive. I was happy to see him get up. He was fine. I thought he looked pretty comfortable. We'll see what we do next. At least we can start the clock on him. |
We didn't use the word love, but it was pretty warm. It was something more than cordial. |
We disconnected last year and that was probably a big problem. I called him two or three times from Hawaii (last month). That's on me, I have consciously done it and I will continue to do it. If he's going to have a problem it's not going to be because we haven't talked. |
We don't care what time the ETA is, ... As long of a trip as it's going to be, it's still following a win. The last time was the worst, because it followed a loss in 2000. |
We don't know if he's ready or not, ... But he's going to become a very important player one of these days and it is liable to be now. |
We don't want to mess with Randy and Moose. |
We don't want to mess with Randy and Moose. Later in the year, when the extra day may have helped, it probably would have been easier to work it. Right now, Moose had his throw day today, which sets him up to pitch on the fifth day. |
We feel pretty good about ourselves, ... I think the pressure is all about getting to postseason. |

We gave too much away. We need to make people beat us. |
We got 11 hits off of him, so we had some opportunities. It looked like the right-handers were having better swings than the left-handers. We really never had him on the ropes. He had a great splitter, and it looked like that was what was getting the left-handed hitters. They just couldn't identify it and he was getting a lot of swings and misses. |
We got a good report. He'll go one more, and if that's satisfying, he'll join us. |
We got a long and good look at him and he's very impressive. Hitting, he doesn't back off on anybody. He's going to be good, and it's just his whole attitude. He wants to learn first base and it looks like he's pretty comfortable. |
