He should be OK tomorrow. |
He threw the ball real well, and I thought he was getting better as the game progressed. It's heartening to see, it really is. The thing that hurt us was the walk (to Catalanotto) because it opened up the first-base hole, and they hit a couple of balls right through there. |
He told me that in Boston personally the last time we played there, ... He never expounded on it, but he did mention it. |
He wasn't as sharp as he's been in the past. |
He works hard with these guys. He's got a program for most of these kids. Lee basically preaches staying inside of the ball, a little weight shift, and right-center, left-center, which is a good way to teach. The players believe in him. He's done a really nice job with our hitters. |

He'll be in New York on Tuesday, |
He's a doubles machine. He's as natural a hitter as you'll see. |
He's a lot responsible for the way we've played. To me, he's pitching with a lot more confidence. You can see it out there. But that's what winning does for you. You get aggressive, you make better pitches and you make better choices. |
He's an intelligent guy. He's very good with mechanics. He's particularly good with putting together game plans on how to pitch the opposition -- utilizing his pitchers' strengths more than opposing hitters' weaknesses, which is a good way to go about it. |
He's been doing better in RBI situations. That's what I like to look at, how you respond in RBI situations. Put the ball in play. And he has done better. |
He's been one of my favorites I've ever managed, ... He could very easily have been captain of the team. If I had chosen a captain, with all the great players we had, I think Danny would have ended up taking that position. |
He's done all right with his opportunity. |
He's going to show inexperience at times. That's exactly what he did. About the only saving grace for Kazmir is that he had a real short outing. |
He's got a lot of inner confidence and he plays like has it. It rubs off on people. We were looking for power in our outfield, and he's provided that and more. |
