It was not the players' fault. |
It was one of those games. We had lots of chances to score and they made some great plays. |
It was painful for all of us to watch. It was painful for our fans, too. But it was the first time he'd done that so I'd think it was an aberration. He's pitched very well for us. |
It was the best way to go, ... and certainly the most nerve-racking. |
It wasn't a bad outing. it wasn't a great outing. It was just a Spring Training outing. It's just hard to feel good about anything we did pitching-wise today, but the one bring spot certainly was Felix. |
It will be a long, middle to a one-inning shot role. We'll see how he does. |
It will take time and work to get him back in the lineup. We are relieved that an original timetable dropped from four-to-six weeks with a broken bone to about three-to-five days. |
It's a big year for all of us. |
It's a day game after a night game. |
It's a day-to-day thing. He told me if he got to the point where he couldn't go, he would let me know. |
It's a hard thing for some players. |
It's a reward for the work he's put in this year, but also to give us a hand here, and get him a look at the big leagues. I think it's important for our minor-league people to be able to see big-league players in game situations. |
It's a sad day. But he should be proud. He's had a career a lot of people would love to have. ... He's a smart guy with a lot of pride and it's never an easy decision. |
It's amazing how you can catch my eye by throwing strikes. |
It's an honor, and for what he's done here for the organization, and for the number of years he's put in, he deserves it. And he gives us a good chance to win -- that's 90 percent of the equation right there. |
