He's showing more poise and throwing a better quality of strikes. He's been throwing his breaking ball more when he's behind in the count. |
He's struggled to this point, but we still see a very talented guy. We have high hopes that he'll get it back together and improve at the big-league level. |
His performance isn't up to what we've seen in the past. |
I am very confident in what Jim Tracy and his staff will do to help this team get better. I've seen his style and approach to teaching and his attention to detail. It's not unexpected, but I'm very pleased about how he and his staff have gone about their work. |
I certainly didn't expect it this quickly. |
I certainly understand it's nice to have starting pitching. It is an asset. |
I definitely think it will be the case. |
I do respect big league experience ... but I want a manager who will help us win more games. |
I don't know, exactly. But that's something we'll have be doing at some point here soon. |
I don't see it as being a significant problem. Obviously, you'd like to have him get more [work] here sooner than later, but we'll have to see how [Mexico] plays. |
I don't think it's really a pressing issue. I think all of our focus has been on playing better baseball and winning more games. |
I don't think one win-total number defines the season but, at the same time, you want to make strides and improve the record. Getting by .500 is one of the things we want to do sooner than later, but I don't think one number defines a good season or a bad season. |
I don't think we're at that level. |
I don't want this to happen again, he doesn't want this to happen again and we're going to step up our aspect of checking up on him. |
I feel bad for Sean. I know he feels bad about it and would like to be out here playing. But this is what happens during the season and you have to be prepared for these types of things to happen. |
