He's pitching real well right now. |
He's ridiculous. You hit a ball through the wind like he did. He has a really good chance to have a great year. |
He's right. I took the first punch. I'll take 100 punches against me. He's right to take a shot. He's got to protect his players. |
He's tipping his pitches. I don't care if people say yes or no. Because you do not lay off breaking balls the way they were doing it. He's got enough stuff for them to feel uncomfortable facing him. |
Hey, I'm fine. I'm not playing. |
Hey, I've got to rest my players, ... They're really drained out the last two weeks. |
His defense made up for his hitting early in the season, ... We built this team on pitching and defense and Joe is a big part of that. Joe had some big clutch hits this season. He always brings his defense with him to the ball field. |
His problem is when he walks people, |
His problem is when he walks people. When he starts walking people and throwing balls all over the place, he gets in trouble. |
His velocity is fine. The location of the pitches is not good. ... He (hung) a couple breaking balls to the wrong guys. |
Hopefully we can get somebody who can run. I want a second hitter so we can put Iguchi down in the sixth or seventh spot to get more (run production) out of him. |
Hopefully we don't have to change the lineup during the season. You will do it, but I don't like to do it. Hopefully I can stick with the lineup most of the time. |
Hopefully, I do this long enough where I don't get tired or be boring. Well, I'm never going to be boring. |
Hopefully, my philosophy works and helps him. |
Hopefully, we keep it up all year. But we know it's not going to happen. |
