I think that maybe relaxed them a little bit by saying that. |
I think they all have good stuff, ... and stuff wins up here. |
I think we've hit rock bottom -- I really do. I think from here we slowly get better. |
I think what's helped is the continuity in the rotation, ... They know that even if they have a rough start, they're going to stay in the rotation. I think that gives them confidence that they can have a bad game and not be shuffled around. |
I think what's helped is the continuity of the rotation. We haven't deviated [from the set rotation] in the second half. I think that gives them confidence. They know they can have a bad game and not get shuffled out. |
I told them to get out in the middle of the ring and throw a few punches. |
I told these kids, 'We're not going to win a pennant. We're not going to go to postseason, but this is not rope-a-dope. Let's get in the middle of the ring and throw some right hands, and let's get after it.' And that's really what they're doing. |
I was hoping it would bounce over the fence for a ground-rule double. |
I was hoping that we could do basically what we did over in Seattle. It didn't happen, but it's on the right path. Somebody else can take over and take it the rest of the way. I've got no regrets about what happens now. |
I was not very good today. I've never played in a pro-am before because of baseball season. I enjoyed it, but I didn't help Jim (Thorpe, his Champions Tour playing partner) all that much. |
I was tired; it takes a lot of concentration, ... But overall, I had some fun with it. |
I wish I had a definitive answer. I'm hoping it continues. |
I would like to manage again, but it would have to be the right situation. |
I would probably hate to end my career with three losing seasons like I did in Tampa Bay. |
I'd like to see us finish as well as we can. You know, especially against these next two opponents. We'll see what happens. |
