I spoke with him yesterday and told him I wanted him, that he would pitch for us. I wanted him to know before he made his decision where I stood. This is where he wanted to be from the beginning and didn't want to change it now.

I talked to him a little bit, but I didn't talk to him about that so much. He's a grown man. He pretty much knows what he can put up with and what he can't put up with. He's at least trying to deal with it to some degree.
|
I talked to him last night after the game and he's still in a lot of pain with his foot. I guess he's had this in the past and he's missed some time. He felt like he was going to need some time with it. I asked him if he was opposed to the DL and he basically said that he was probably going to need more time than it would be good for the team. It was pretty much a no-brainer at that point.

I talked to Richie at the time it happened, and we felt if it was going to completely heal, it was going to take about six weeks. You just hope nothing happens to him and he can get through the rest of the month.
|
I think he deserves some more time to get through this. We've got some veterans that are hitting less than him that we keep running in there. There's been no talk, to me, on him not being here.
|
I think he kind of knows he wasn't going to make the ball club, and if he wasn't going to make it there was no need for him to come.
|
I think he was in a lot of pain last night and this morning.
|
I think his control leaves him a little bit and fortunately we've been patient enough to let him get into a little trouble. There are times when a guy's struggling a little bit and you go ahead and get him out of a jam by swinging at a bad pitch. Two times now, our guys have let him work and made him come to them and they've gotten the big hit when we need it.
|
I think it is a case of some of the young kids wanting to do too much too quick to impress their pitching coach.
|
I think Jay isn't so concerned anymore with having to hit the ball out of the ballpark to be in the lineup. I think he knows he's going to be in the middle of our lineup somewhere.
|
I think Kris certainly has that potential. I don't want to put too much pressure on him, but I think he can be a major force in this rotation. Regardless, this gives us five days in a row that we can feel good about the guy we've got starting on the mound.
|
I think Leo was ready for a new challenge, and he knew time was running short.
|
I think the top half of that lineup should stay relatively the same. I foresee the bottom with the ability to switch into different spots depending on who's hot and who's not. I think Ramon Hernandez could hit anywhere from fifth to eighth. If I need to maneuver around those, I will.
|
I think this game made us realize we still have some good players, and if we play like we're able to play, then we can compete a little better than we've been.
|
I think we get to wanting to hit the ball too hard. We need to spray it around the field with men on base.
