He's what you're looking for -- tough and strong, a guy who loves to be out there. |
His presence and ability to do some damage can help get this offense clicking. |
Honestly, that wasn't a very good outing. His velocity was fine, but he had trouble getting the ball down. His stuff was good, and that's encouraging, but he made way too many mistakes. |
How we go about things as far as stations is a little different, but nothing major. We always work hard on fundamentals, and we've turned up the volume on that. |
I always liked him when he was with the White Sox, |
I can't say enough about Olivo and what he's done for us. [But] Ramon has experience; he's one of the best catchers in the game. It's nice to see him back there. |
I certainly enjoyed having Grady here on the staff. He was a big help to me. I'm glad he got another opportunity to manage. |
I didn't think gender was even an issue anymore. |
I don't have any real comment on that. |
I don't think comments like that are appropriate in this day. I didn't even think gender was an issue anymore. Kelly is a part of this club. Ask any player in here. She has a major role. She is offended. |
I expect to see the same guy I did last year. I hope they'll limit him to 30 or 40 games. That first at-bat off Adam Eaton last year was very impressive. The guy hadn't played all year and Eaton was throwing 93-94 and he doubled off the wall. That bat speed is always there. |
I got into the cab at the hotel to go to dinner with my wife (Kim) and sister (Terry) last night, ... Same cabbie. |
I guess he thought the play was dead and he was throwing the ball out, |
I guess he thought the play was dead and he was throwing the ball out. I don't know why. We were as surprised as anybody. |
I guess this park isn't too big for him. That shows you how strong he is. |
