Just look at him, he's in great shape. I don't know if he's more excited than he's ever been, but certainly he's not any less. I think he's high quality. |
Just look at him. He's in great shape. There isn't a thing that has happened to him that has gotten in the way of preparation. I don't know if he's more excited than he's ever been, but he certainly isn't less. |
Last year he could have gone 0-for-the-season and still be valuable to us. |
Last year there was a lot of concern about second base and shortstop and I didn't have a big concern. I like what I see. |
Let them pitch. The more effective they are, the more you send them out there. Don't try too hard to fit them into your plans (for a bullpen). If they all look good, they all make the team. |
Like I said, I didn't ask, ... When I got the thumbs-up I said OK and I walked out, so I don't know. |
Look at the runs he gave up, they were two breaking balls over the plate, ... He made a couple of breaking ball mistakes and that's two extra runs. |
Looper threw 24 pitches yesterday. I don't think this is the time of year you use a guy like that. |
Losing four in a row would have been tough to take. We're a better club than that. |
Luna has got the versatility to play wherever you need him, and at some point I'm sure he would prefer to be an everyday guy at one spot. We'll see how that works out. ... It's hard to know (when) because he didn't do very well with his spring training chance. But he's come out this year playing well early. I'm looking for opportunities to play him. |
Mark is retired. Bonds is still playing. If Mark was playing and the information about what is going on had been uncovered [about him], he'd be getting the same. I'm confident of it. |
Matt got the ball up with a 1-2 count, and the pitch that Delgado tripled on wasn't where Ray was trying to throw it. Against good clubs in key situations, either you do or you don't, and if you don't, you get penalized most of the time. |
Matt Morris is part of our postseason rotation. He was never out of it. |
Matt Morris will finish in the top 10 in earned-run average. |
Maybe tomorrow. I thought he was arriving last night. We had a room for him, but he wasn't there. |
