Let Alex [Cora] play. It will be good for him and good for Edgar. |
Let him take another day. Let him come back and feel good and he can put us on his back for a couple of games. |
Manny is going to show up and drive in 130. I'll bet you on it. |
Matt didn't go real deep in that game [on Sunday], so that was probably part of the reason. If he had had a real deep game, we might not have done it. |
Maybe 70 to 80 to 90. That's why we want to give him some time. Hopefully, by the end of this, we're playing well and his pitch count isn't an issue. Because it will be for a while. |
Maybe Dave Concepcion is coming back. |
Maybe we can get him down to Pawtucket three days before he's eligible. |
Me sitting here and naming a Game 5 starter would be a little presumptuous. |
Most of the time (when) Wake goes out there, gives up three runs and throws a complete game, we are out there shaking hands and patting him on the back. He was great. |
My intuition says that he won't be available because it was almost like a two-inning stint last night. He had to reach back, it was a lot of pitches. He said he felt great, and that's good news. Whether he's available or not available, I'm glad he seems to be bouncing back. |
My last year in Montreal -- my last Spring [Training] -- I got released, |
My thinking, our thinking, is that it would be good for him. Some teams can't do this. I think we can. |
No disrespect to the local writers but that Mayor's Cup is not what we're shooting for. We need to go farther than that. |
No, he got himself in a predicament where he felt threatened so he kind of took the offensive. He paid his price. Now it's over and it wasn't anything that was (premeditated). He just got himself in a spot where he was uncomfortable and it happened. He served his suspension and it's over. |
Nobody likes to see a two-run homer. But I do like the way he handled it. |
