He expressed the desire that he wanted to play everyday. We can understand that, but he wasn't going to do it here. He talked about wanting to go elsewhere, now he's going to get an opportunity. |
He gave up runs early and then shut us down. |
He had a high pitch count there for a while, then all of a sudden he really started throwing strikes. I thought he was getting better as the game progressed. |
He has gotten used to the long season and has learned how to pace himself. It's different than when he first came up. He's used to it now. |
He needs to get his life in order. He's a good young man. He just needs to get his priorities straight. He's got a long life ahead of him and a lot of people that care about him. The only problem is he's got to help himself. |
He plays hard and he's got a little bit of a swagger. A swagger can be a good thing for a club. Good teams always have a little bit of a swagger. |
He proved he can handle it, ... He pitched back-to-back days sparingly, but he proved he can do it. He'll fit into next year's bullpen. |
He should be all right [on Friday], |
He should be OK tomorrow. |
He threw the ball real well, and I thought he was getting better as the game progressed. It's heartening to see, it really is. The thing that hurt us was the walk (to Catalanotto) because it opened up the first-base hole, and they hit a couple of balls right through there. |
He told me that in Boston personally the last time we played there, ... He never expounded on it, but he did mention it. |
He wasn't as sharp as he's been in the past. |
He works hard with these guys. He's got a program for most of these kids. Lee basically preaches staying inside of the ball, a little weight shift, and right-center, left-center, which is a good way to teach. The players believe in him. He's done a really nice job with our hitters. |

He'll be in New York on Tuesday, |
