I think we had, what, three players who had six hits. You've got to put it together more than that. |
I think we should be 10 games over really. |
I think you just have to give the pitcher credit. He threw the ball well. Usually the pitcher has the upper hand when you haven't seen him, and he was a little bit funky with his delivery. |
I think youth is great. It gives you energy and enthusiasm. It's ambitious in a lot of ways. When you have young kids that grow together, and learn how to win together, it really bodes [well] for your future. Young talent is great. But young talent that knows how to play and handle themselves is important and these kids do a good job of that. |
I thought Victor got the ball down really nice. I just think he looks totally different than he was last year. It looks like he's looser, freer, and balls are coming out of his hand real well. |
I thought we had it, man. He came in there and did a pretty good job. After the full count he had to challenge him, I guess. |
I thought Zambrano looked a lot looser, there was more fluidity to his pitches, he kept the ball down. The key to success for any pitcher is to pound the bottom of the zone, but with him, especially. He looked totally different. |
I told him that I'd prefer him not to do that, ... He felt he could maybe get a bunt base hit and, like I said earlier, if he makes it, then we're O.K. But even if he makes it, it still might not be the right play. But he feels that's part of his game in his mind. But personally, no, I'd rather him swing the bat. |
I told him that I'd prefer him not to do that, ... I know that I'm hitting third and a lot of people expect the third hitter to never bunt. I don't think like that. |

I told the guys in the bullpen they're going to get used. |
I told them we are here to work hard and get ready for a special season. Hopefully, we've moved up the ladder a little bit. |
I trust David, he's obviously an excellent hitter, but consistency is what I'm looking for. He needs to show me he can keep making the adjustments. |
I used to wear his old man out. |
