If it's not Martinez, it's definitely Paul. I love it. One day, it's above the food. One day, it's in the bathroom. Another day in the training room, in the coaches' room. It's got to go in the manager's office at some point. |
If the team is doing well, it's hard to blow up the chemistry. I'm not into that. If there's any kind of crack in the armor and this kid is ready, there's certain guys when they're ready, you want to bring them on. You don't want them to go stale on the vine either, too ripe. You have to be really cognizant of that also. |
If you want to assume that, that's fine. You can badger me. That's OK. I don't have to answer [the question]. |
If [players are] around 30 and take good care of themselves they might be productive for five or six years. What's wrong with that? |
It all felt good. I really thought we were going to figure that one out somehow. We just couldn't finish it off either side. So, again, we came after it. We went after it hard, stayed with it. We're going to keep pounding on that door until we break it down. |
It all felt good. It all tasted good. I really felt we were going to figure that one out somehow. We just couldn't finish it off. |
It came right down to the last drop again. |
It could be a surgical thing, it could be a rest thing. I'm not sure where they're going to go with this yet. |
It doesn't bother me. I'm not incensed. I'm not into rhetoric, really. |
It doesn't look awful to me. I'm not overly sensitive. |
It had been so nip and tuck all the way. But I thought C.C.'s [hit] was well placed nicely up that gap at the old Bud Light sign. It looked very nice rolling up against it. That was a big play. |
It is conceivable. We're thinking about getting a [simulated] game in Saturday and probably having [Mori] pitch in a game at the beginning of next week. |
It just hit the bat and went out. It's just one of those baseball things that happen sometimes in the ninth inning. When it happens for you, you're very happy. When it happens against you, you're not quite so happy. |
It just shows the guys aren't giving up. I'm seeing good mental at-bats and that's one of the things we're preaching. |
It made all the difference for this fellow, plus the movement on his ball. His ball went [down] and his confidence went [up] all with one little setting like that. He got so eager just to play catch after that. It was all the world of difference. His confidence is jumping. |
