When he was down on the ground, he was having shooting pain that was really bothering him, but beyond that I don't know. |
When he's right, he's throwing quality pitches down there. |
When Ian Snell gets consistent command, his stuff is more than good enough for the major-league level. I'll take pitching like that anytime. |
When Jim `Who?' was hired, people wondered if I'd even make it to the All-Star Break, |
When people see you playing the game intelligently -- and not just playing the game -- they're going to go tell somebody else, 'Hey, you should see what I just watched, ... And [that] somebody else is going to come out and want to see it. |
When the first pitch of the game gets thrown, we've got four games to try to win. I'm certainly interested in doing that now that I am sitting in this office. |
When you come in and you sit down at your desk and try to structure the middle of your lineup, that's a fairly daunting task. |
When you face a pitcher the caliber of Chris Carpenter, you only get one opportunity like that. |
When you face guys of that caliber, your starters have to believe they are equal to the task. One thing I know about both Oliver and Zach is they believe that. They do more than just believe that -- they expect to go out there and match those guys. The situation could become very interesting if it plays itself out. |
When you have a center fielder like him, it makes your whole team better and certainly your entire pitching staff. |
When you have somebody who has his type of energy, who brings that to the table like he does, the potential is there to strike quickly like that. |
When you take good at-bats, you put pressure on the other side of the field -- especially when it's not just one a night. If you get four at-bats, you have four good at-bats. |
When you're throwing pitches at 2-0 and 3-1 [counts] to quality Major League hitters, your chances to succeed are minimal. All you can hope for is that when the ball gets hit hard, it gets hit at somebody, and that's not the way you want to play. |
When your timing is off and you're pushing the ball instead of throwing the ball, there will be a decrease in velocity. If the timing is off or the arm slot is off, you won't see the same thing. |
Who will step up? That's the question. And how consistently can we work the process? |
