They've had some guys step up and play very, very well for them, |
This hasn't righted the ship. We're still an under-.500 team. But it's a good feeling. |
This is only the first month of the year here and we have a long ways to go, but we definitely have a lot of work to do. We have to pitch better; we have to hit better, and catch the ball better -- the whole package. That's why there can't be anybody pointing fingers in here, because it's a total package. We need an effort by the whole team to get better. |
This is pretty neat. I'm sure getting back together for these guys is nice. It's a wonderful thing. |
This is serious, very serious, and a lot of people are going to learn from this. We're going to help him get through this thing and make him understand how serious this is. He wants to face the penalty, and that's the right thing to do. |
This kid has a lot of talent and brings a strong bat. It will be interesting to see how he does in Spring Training and how his knee will take to the wear and tear of playing in the outfield. |
This stuff gets real old. |
This was a good win for us. To come out and score some runs and get a lead, we haven't done that very often. It was fun. The guys got to run the bases. |
This was a tough series. They are playing very, very well. They are a very confident group. |
This winter we talked about getting the clubhouse back. The guys we got are clubhouse people. |
This year he's been very, very solid. As good as they get in this league. We haven't exactly scored a lot of runs. We know that. But he's backed it up. |
Those are things we are going to decide during the winter. ... We all know we have to have hitting. We have to have some hitters and if we have to make trades to get them we will lose pitching. [Liriano] won't be one of them. I think we made that statement already this year. |
Those guys can play. I'm not worried about it. No matter who you put out there, you're going to have a talented individual out there that can play. |
Those two guys, I'm not really worried about. They're pretty professional about what they do. |
Three runs in seven innings, that's pretty good pitching, really. He pitched his tail off. Hernandez just pitched better. We didn't swing the bats well tonight. We hit a few balls hard. He definitely shut us down. It was a disappointing night for us. |
