I was trying to shake some things up. I knew we'd lost six games in a row. I was going to jingle any time I had a chance to jingle today. |
I wish him good things. Our book is closed. |
I would hate anything to aggravate (the injury) this late in the season. |
I'd say he's been pretty good for us. And he's off to a pretty good September. |
I'd say there is a quiet confidence building in the locker room. |
I'm going to give him some time to work out of it. |
I'm happy for him. We've all put a lot of work into this project. He's put a lot of work in. The organization has put a lot of work in. Coach Collins has put a lot of work in. If a guy's going to pop, you sure would like for him to pop on your watch, in your organization. |
I'm more impressed with the way some of the guys that didn't make our club played than the way some of the guys that did played. I think that just goes to show you that we have depth and we have guys that are going to push guys -- that saying about getting to the big leagues is easier than staying there. |
I'm not sure how much we're going to let him swing the bat. He can be somebody else's laboratory experiment. I've had my time with it. ... I'm working on the premise that he can still hit. |
I'm not sure if Holliday finished that play up strong. |
I'm not sure what happened the day he left my office, but something clicked. He looked at me, and said, 'I will be back and I will be ready to pitch in the majors.' He was right on the mark. When he came back that season, he was definitely ready. |
I'm trying to help him slow himself down a little bit. He was a little bit better (Wednesday) night, but I have an ability to slow him down a little bit more. |
I've got an accountability and responsibility to do whatever I can to help this team win a ballgame, |
I've had a number of people come up to me this spring, unsolicited, and tell me that he's the best defensive catcher in the National League. |
I've never seen it before, |
