It should be a good birthday for [Bradley] today. |
It took a lot for him to pick up the phone, unsolicited,'' Beane said. |
It was a good workout. I just wanted to get everyone one at-bat, and only one guy didn't get one. |
It was impressive that he was getting all those walks, being patient enough to take those pitches. |
It was kind of miraculous (Tuesday night). The grounds-keeping crew said we had showers everywhere around here. Bill King built a dome over the stadium so we wouldn't have a rain delay. Baseball's got a way of working it out. |
It was tested, and it came through with flying colors. |
It wasn't the greatest situation, for the team or the manager. I view this year's situation as a good thing. |
It will be helpful for the (pitching) staff to get to know him. Once the full squad gets here, things get a little hectic. |
It will be interesting to watch it. |
It will be tough for Wash because he has to let his coaches do their job. It was for me. I still love to teach. That's what I miss. |
It will come down to how he feels. Who knows? He may need two days off in a row. He might want to go back-to-back days. |
It would have been interesting to see a study if they'd taken whatever was being used and put a placebo in there instead. Does it even help you perform if you're real wired? |
It'd be nice to be able to do that, but I don't know if we can do that, ... [Mark] Kotsay's done OK there ... so let's give him a game or two and let's see how he's swinging. |
It's a completely different lineup with Crosby and Frank Thomas in there. Hopefully, we'll get that back together. |
It's a dilemma right now. That's why a major-league manager gets up at 4 a.m. every morning, the mind is always working. |
