Spring training, there is no way to explain that because that was his big chance. I really expected him to have a big spring. But he's got that one plus that's a huge plus. This league does not intimidate him. He should be the same player the whole time ... (but) he's been his best in this league.

Stuff like that is always misleading, and it's always irritating to answer, ... Stats don't mean anything. He's pitched really well in a couple of those games. In a couple he did not pitch well. He's had a heck of a year. Check his numbers.

Take your hat off to him. He never put the ball over the middle of the plate when we had a chance to hurt him.
|
Teammates ultimately respect guys who go to the post the most. When something keeps happening that prevents you from going out there, they're not very forgiving.
|
That changes things dramatically. He made one mistake - he got (LaRue), 0-2, then gave him something to bunt. You throw him something nasty there and you don't get an advance.
|
That doesn't just happen, you have to make that happen. They put a lot of work into the physical part. They give themselves a chance to stay in the game. It's a great story, but it's all in the past. You have to do that again this season.

That doesn't mean it can't be 11, but more probably [12] right now. We always go in thinking we're going to protect our pitching. I would love to have that sixth player.
|
That hit really set up the big inning. If he hits a double-play ball, you don't know how that game goes.
|
That incident screwed up the whole night for me. That was very scary. We don't check 20-something years of managing. We insist on the ball being down if it is inside. It takes a lot away from the game, and I hope he is OK.
|
That looks so terrible. The guy [Piazza] is a great pro. That incident screwed up the whole night for me. It was very scary.
|
That session was as good as it gets.
|
That shows you what he's capable of doing. That's what Juan can do. He'll have a better chance after he has success like this.
|
That shows you what Juan can do. People are all the same, when you have a little success, you're more confident and it gives you a chance to have more success. I'm sure he'll feel better about it.
|
That shows you what Juan is capable of doing. We don't win that game without him being a hero, a star.
|
That was a classic start [by Marquis] there, as far as competing in a really tight game. Seo was pitching just as well.
