It's very surprising. We expect to get a lot of hits. |
It's weird, because we need to learn how to win these close games. We need to learn how to push across runs. It just shows how good a pitcher can be when he's around the strike zone and doesn't walk anybody. |
It's weird, but we need to know how to win these close games. We need to know how to push across a run. |
Just better to be careful. |
Just keep them there, we'll get the runs back, ... Bronson knows the look in our eyes when we come in between innings. We tell him, shut them down because we're going to get them tonight. |
Just not hitting with guys in scoring position. It falls to our hitters. |
Let's hope so. We've still got to play well. |
Look at this. It's Kevin Millar . |
Manny is a great person. I love him, and he doesn't have a mean bone in his body. But he's been there five years, and sometimes it is too much for him. |
Many thought he was done years before this, but he keeps coming back, as good or better than ever. |
March 6. The games are going to start counting tomorrow. That is sooner than expected. But we know what our job at hand is. That's to try and win this tournament, but also to try and help promote the game. |
Matsui was incredible. Trying to hit a guy throwing 95-plus in 40-degree weather, that's hard. |
Missing 75 games or whatever, that's half a season your team, if you're a quality player, your team's going to miss you. I think it's a positive step for the union. Unfortunately, you can't make everyone happy. Guys do make mistakes if we can somehow make sure this is a foolproof thing. We want to make sure guys know what they're being busted for. |
Moose is going to have a big year. He has many arm angles and he knows how to spot his pitches. He just knows what he's doing out there. |
More times than not, he's going to come through. He threw some tough pitches on the outside of the plate to get him looking out there, then he threw a perfect pitch in. Shields was an All-Star for a reason. |
