He helps us in the field. But he helps this team more in the clubhouse, in the hotels, in the bus, in the planes. You look around baseball and one of the people they don't say anything negative about is Jim Thome. They love the way he respects the game and treats his fans and teammates. |
He hugged me [Tuesday]. He talked to me before the game and wished me good luck. He told me that he was proud of me and the job I did. He's not the type of manager that thinks because he won [a World Series] that he's bigger than the game. This man, I have a lot of respect for him. |
He is going back there. You have to put him back on the mound. |
He is the one who is throwing the ball better. That's why, for the next couple of weeks, I can't please players, I have to win games. |
He is the type of player who when he is hot can carry the team. |
He just did what not too many people would do, |
He just had a bad game. I expect a better outing next time. |
He kept the game close and gave us the chance to win. |
He knew he wasn't going to play for the Dominicans. He's not a Dominican. I hate hypocrites. He's full of (bleep). |

He knows how to hit. Because he doesn't have a big name and make a lot of money, nobody talks about him, but he's a dangerous hitter. |
He made one mistake on a slider. |
He made two mistakes, but I think he was outstanding. He threw the ball better and hopefully he continues to progress. |
