We're giving Jamie an extra day of rest. And this way it winds up giving him two starts at home. |
We're going to get it done soon, |
We're going to have Mike play around the field for us. First base could be a good fit for him. He'll get time there and third, left field and right. |
We're going to try to keep him under 200 innings, but if we're in this thing in the middle of September, we'll probably revisit this. |
We're hoping Sunday will be the day we have him back. |
We're looking for a guy who can do the job defensively, first of all. Offense would be a plus. |
We're looking for a guy who can do the job defensively, first of all. Then the offense would be a plus. We need to send somebody out there at the very least who can cover ground and make plays. |
We're not the first team to go through this and we won't be the last. You hope you don't have anything like this happen the rest of the season, but I'd bet you that it will. |
We're putting together lists of names and are narrowing it down. It's important in our minds to do this quickly. But it's more important that we get the right guy. |
We're sitting there in the middle of the game and all of a sudden a rat walked into our dugout. It must have been about six or seven inches long. It took a while for someone from the grounds crew to come get it, put it in a box and take it away. |
We're trying to get the message across this isn't the end. It's just the beginning. |
We've been in our bullpen with a lot of regularity this year in the fifth inning or starting the sixth. We've had to use (Julio) Mateo, (J.J.) Putz and (Rafael) Soriano in two-inning stints a lot already this year. If we continue to do that, when we get to August and September and we're in this, those guys are going to be out of gas because we had to use them so much. |
We've been pretty fortunate the way the bullpen has performed for us. This is the first time anybody's scored five in the ninth against us. |
We've been thinking of having Felix as the fifth starter, to start the season. That's the easiest place for us to monitor his work. |
We've been working Lopez awfully hard, especially in early work, ... So we'll give Santiago a start, just a one-day deal. |
