We think he's ready to assume some responsibility and be a good player in the major leagues. |
We try not to get carried away with batting averages and statistics. There's going to be some kid in here this spring who knocks everybody's socks off and he's probably still going to go to Double-A. That is just Spring Training and how it can be. |
We want base runners. I think Coco understands that. If he wants to take off every game, he could steal 30, easy. But we don?t want him to be 30-for-60. |
We want him to continue to build, but it's difficult. We'll manage it the best we can. The more he throws 80, 90, 100 pitches and it doesn't hurt, the more he'll have a chance to get better. If we can get into late September and it clicks, then we'll be in good shape. |
We want to see Adam get some at-bats. |
We wanted to get him back out there for the seventh. I think that was a step by itself. |
We wanted to get him further in the game. |
We wanted to make sure everybody left in the same shape they came. |
We went over a lot of stuff, and we'll continue to do it. I think you actually have to sit down once like we did, because things become a little more clear and then you revisit again. |
We went through so much and it was sometimes so hard to be good, ... I don't think anyone outside that clubhouse knows. |
We were all sitting here watching, waiting, and it stunned us all [how it ended]. |
We were one pitch away from going home. David put a good swing on it and we got to keep playing. |
We were trying to win the game. We were down two runs. We needed to stop it right there. I think it was the right thing to do. |
We win as a team and lose as a team. We don?t point fingers. |
We won 95 games in a season where things didn't go right, ... I will not sit here and apologize for that. We busted our [butt] to do the best we could. I was very proud of what we accomplished. |
