Tonight, he got a couple of pitches up and over the plate. |
Tonight, he wasn't able to make key adjustments, and he struggled through it. |
Tough day. I know we have some deficiencies, but we're much better than we played today. |
Until we know something definite, I'll be thinking about him. |
Wayne and I have the same type of ideas on ways to turn this organization around. We believe in guys earning their way, not just giving it to them. |
We all know he's got a chance to be a very good major league player. I'm happy for him to get off to a good start. |
We batted him eighth most of the time and it isn't easy heading ahead of the pitcher. I see him batting higher in the order, somewhere in the middle, and we're talking about a young kid (23). |
We can use him in big spots early in a game where we couldn't in the past. That's the biggest benefit of having three catchers. |
We could get rid of guys. But we've got some games we're trying to play. |
We could have buried him. I know if I was a player I'd want to be released as quickly as I could in spring training. |
We could use him early. He might close as well. Sometimes things just don't go as you script them. |
We definitely wanted to play, ... But I looked at the radar. (The weather system) It's way backed up. |
We did him a great service by letting him go when we did. We gave him a chance to make a club, and he did. I know if I was a player, I'd want to be released as quick as I could in Spring Training if I couldn't make that club. |
We did so many things wrong that we didn't deserve to win that game. I don't even know how we were in it. But you're going to have innings like that. They've got some good hitters. |
We didn't deserve to win that game, |
