You can't ask for more than that. |
You can't put your head down and cry. |
You could see it the first day just in the way he was walking around. He had a hop in his step. You don't see the wear in his eyes. He's fresh mentally and physically. It's night and day from last year. |
You felt a lot of electricity in here (Sunday night). When you have that many people here it's a different kind of energy, and a lot of people felt it. That was good to see. |
You have to take some responsibility. If you don't, you shouldn't be doing this. |
You make a commitment to something and you see it through to the best of your abilities. Once Strike One became solidified, we knew we always wanted to put together an organization like this one. |
You might run into him. |
You see the confidence brewing in that young man each outing. He gets himself in a good rhythm and sticks with it. |
You talk about a guy who made a great impression and has done a great job coming through the system. He did more than enough to be on the team. We're going to need that depth, and it's good to have guys like Fausto ready to step in. |
You talk about going on the road, you always wanna hold your own, |
You wanna go out there and take it day to day and work to win series. So it's the same approach in that sense. |
You want him to frustrate hitters. He knows himself very well. He can make adjustments throughout the course of a game and even during an at-bat. |
You want your starting pitchers to go as deep as they possibly can. So you do the best you can with the innings you have available. |
You watch somebody do that, you learn from it. You see what happens if you don?t give into it, you fight through it and you give your team a chance to win. |
You're going to have games like that over a long season. The main thing is to go out and respect the game and keep playing. |
