I thinking signing a guy like Jeff should add to our depth. |
I thought he did a good job of keeping his club competitive every time we saw them. |
I thought he looked really good. I thought he was probably ahead for his first game. |
I thought he pitched a very strong game. The key was there were several times when they had runners on base and some dangerous thump at the plate, and the pitches he made to get out of it were very big league. |
I thought it was a bad idea when we started. The way it turned out I thought was bad. And the consequences are still ahead of us. That's why it pained me for people to be celebrating the Classic as a positive experience. It was only positive in a few places. Overall for Major League Baseball, it was a ... lot more negative than positive. |
I thought it was exactly the game that we played over and over again, |
I thought it was exactly the game we played over and over again (this season). Our starting pitcher was outstanding. When guys were on base, we made pitches. Our defense was outstanding. |
I thought Mark had good arm strength, |
I tip my hat to Rusch, he pitched a masterpiece. He was in charge all night long. He put the ball on the edges, mixed in his breaking ball, moved it around -- it was just really well done. |
I tip my hat to the decision-makers over there, to Willie, for not overreacting. We apologized. |
I want to make sure Al Reyes gets the credit he deserves, but you don't want to speak so much about that and pretty soon it sounds like we can't win without him, ... That's an important miss for us, but we have other guys who can step up. |
I want to make sure we respect Dontrelle, the year he's had. We're fortunate we're watching these two guys, and they have really been critical in us hanging in there. |
I was impressed today. I mean, I've been impressed about every time he pitches. But I thought today, he knows he's got a chance to make the club, so everything was different. |
I was really encouraged to see Garland throw the ball so well. It shows you if you have good work between and your mind is strong, you can pull it off. |
I was so happy I had to call myself. |
