Everybody that's ever played the game will kick the ball around, throw it away and strike out with the bases loaded. If you want to be the better team, you have to limit those. |
He battled and that is a big part of pitching. A lot of times you don't have your best stuff, but you have to find a way to take what you have and compete. He did that. |
He did a real good job. We don't ask our pitchers to go in and strike everyone out. We want them to throw strikes and keep the ball down, and he threw strikes. |
I hope Louie gets on the field because he's the best chance for this team to win. |
I was managing last month, so I know exactly what Jack [McKeon] is going through. |
No one has talked to me about anything than just day-to-day. The thing for me is I really miss my kids. |
Some of the younger guys have never been in a race like this. I've done it a couple of times. Does that mean I'm more capable of helping the club than they are? You never know. We have to wait and see how that pans out. |
They're not scared. They look a lot like we did. |
