I think if you look at virtually every starter, we've had some rough starts here in the last two weeks, ... The big key is to get back on it mentally and understand that if we don't pitch, we don't win. Against the pitching we're going to face in postseason, we're not going to outscore people. |

I think it depends on how he was pitching. Do you want me to pull out the card? How was he pitching? ... He wasn't tired. He was pitching effectively. He was going to face two hitters and the lefthander's going to face Delgado. If he gets one of the two then he can't be the losing pitcher. But he is the losing pitcher. ... He earned the eighth inning. |
I think it has a lot to do with getting some protection. It means they have to come back at him more. He can use a little more patience and doesn't have to expand the zone - all those little things that count for a lot when you're trying to produce. |
I think it just proves he's human. I mean, he's really, really good, but if you compete against anybody, you have a chance to break through. |
I think it would be tied with the most dramatic home runs that have ever been hit. |
I think it's been really good for him and for us. But he's working at a new position. We're not going to put him on the bench as a part-time player. He won't make the team. |
I think it's going to be tough, |
I think it's huge. With the 2-3-2 format, you let this one get away from you, and who knows what's going to happen tomorrow and then you have three at their place. |
I think Junior has got some credentials. He's also been hurt a lot the last two years. I think that's pretty even going in. |
I think my first understanding of the significance of Gibson's home run is the drama of what he did that day, as hurt as he was, that being his only at-bat. And if you saw him foul those pitches off and how gimpy he was, it was an incredibly heroic kind of at-bat, if you can use hero in sports, |
I think one of the issues is that the competition around him has gotten stiff. There are several guys who are throwing the ball well. It's not like he's not facing competition. |
I think physically he feels good and I think the pressure of the postseason has got his concentration back to where it was a great, great majority of the season, |
I think physically he feels good and I think the pressure of the postseason has got his concentration back to where it was a great, great majority of the season. |
I think that's one of the problems with him being late. He's only going to be here for a few days and then taking off. That's not good. |
