This game was enhanced today because Roger Clemens pitched in it. |
This game, there's some real great things about it and there's some things that absolutely stink. |
This is Day 4. And I'm sure they've all been active back home. If they were up north, you'd be more careful. But if they were up north, they wouldn't have visa problems. |
This is how he pitched earlier in the year. He just got into a funk. It happens to pitchers, it happens to hitters, it happens to defenders. And in the middle of that funk, he had a couple of games like this. Against Washington and today, this was the way he was earlier in the year. This is just his second year in the rotation; he's still learning. |
This is not eliminating (the possibility) that he could win playing time as a starter, but if he's on the bench, I haven't seen him take one at-bat where he hasn't been seriously competing. And I'm talking about (batting practice), whatever game, morning or 10 o'clock. That's the kind of skill that you look for, a guy who has that ability to lock in every at-bat. |
This is one of the toughest losses, and one of the best losses I can remember, just because what the club showed. It was impressive watching them compete like that. I'm just talking about our team. They did the same thing. |
This is one where you'll be lost for words. No thoughts, no description of the game. ... I'm at a loss to describe it, man. There's a new memory for new Busch. ... It'll be tough to top that one. |
This is the way (Luna) played last year. He's really played beyond his experience. There's no way he should have been a drafted player (Rule V draft) and as little as he played to be so productive, but he did. He's playing better than he did in the minor leagues. He was not tearing it up there. |
This is what he's capable of doing. |
This is why we don't want them to hit too much. It's riskier than it needs to be. |
This team can handle change. We have confidence in the players who will replace the guys that are gone. |
Those are two of the best plays you will see. |
Those tips he gave me saved my baseball life, |
Those two swings were sweet Jim Edmonds swings. A couple of others times, he probably put a little too much into it. |
Tip your to hat to Roger Clemens. You could tell he was ouchy there, and we didn't get anything off him. |
