He was playing terrific baseball. He was playing great defense and he was one of our hot bats. This is a big blow for us. He's a guy we're going to miss. |
He was probably a little hyped up. We made a couple of mistakes that inning that cost us runs, but he settled down and pitched well. |
He was throwing well and we had no information that anything was bothering him. I don't think he was smart about it. I think he should have said something. |
He [Barfield] is swinging the bat well and playing good defense. He is a good player and is only going to get better. |
He's a guy you want to step up. He's trying to find his stroke. Ryan's a masher, and we'd love to see him mash. |
He's a hard-nosed player. He's been compared to John Kruk with his physique and the way he hits. He's hit well everywhere he's been. (This game was) probably big for him. He's from this area (Oxnard). |
He's a little dizzy, but he's going to be OK. |
He's a major league player, a major league hitter. He's going to be back up here. |
He's a very determined young man right now. |
He's an impact player, one that's going to the Hall of Fame. Those guys have a swagger to them with their presence. |
He's as good as anybody. We aren't the first team he has shut out this year. |
He's been consistent and it looks like he's gotten in the groove. He's helped solidify this rotation, and I can't say enough about the job he's done since we acquired him. |
He's been hitting for close to a week now and catching bullpens, and he's been cleared to go by our physicians. So he's in there. He says he's ready to go. |
He's been there every time. He wanted it, so I let him have it. |
He's behind -- we need to start loading up on at-bats for him the next couple of weeks. |
