He's filthy. He locates the ball so well and he doesn't make mistakes. He was incredible. |
He's fun to watch, ... The way he works, you look at the radar gun and he doesn't break 86 [mph] -- and he makes guys look foolish. It's unbelievable seeing the thought process that goes behind each pitch. He has a meaning for every pitch. The catcher sets up back there and doesn't move his mitt the whole game. |
He's got that goofy smile and the kids love him with the big head, ... He reminds me of Ramon Castro. He's very friendly, outgoing. Mr. Met just symbolizes mascots in general the quirky nature, the way he carries himself. It's fun to look up in the stands sometimes and see what kind of shenanigans he's up to. |

He's very intelligent. He's very astute. He's got a great head on his shoulders and is aware about things that are going on in this world. |
Hopefully, it will kick-start me to finish strong, |
I bet you anything we're back around that 21,000 figure this year. Our numbers will be where they've always been except for last year. Last year was nothing but the weather. |
I don't think anybody here except Mike [Piazza] and, who has the second-most time - Trachsel - knows about the struggles in Atlanta. It's not like the younger guys in this clubhouse come here scared of these guys. They're a good team, don't get me wrong. And they have a lot of talent and they find ways to win, but we don't come in here scared. |
I don't think he got it in as much as he wanted to. He kind of left it over the plate and I put a nice, easy swing on it. |
I don't think it's so much our offense as we've run into great pitchers, |
I don't think Pedro hit him intentionally. But if he did or didn't, we're his teammates, and we have his back. That's the way it's supposed to be. |
I don't think we're in a slump. We hit some balls hard tonight, but just right at someone. We're not concerned. |
I felt like we could've (qualified more). We had an opportunity in the consolation matches. We were bound to get four or five through. I would've like to have seen more than one go. |
I guess I'm just different. To me, it's the same. |
I guess that's the beauty of this game, that there's so much room for improvement in every player, ... Unless you can say you'll go out there and hit 1.000 all year, there's room for improvement. |
