I thought the rule was if you played 19 straight days and it went over 19 straight ? if you played 20 straight days ? you had to have the OK of the players. If we played on May 8, that would put both teams on 20 straight days. They're saying now it's 20 straight days, and the 21st is when you have to get an OK (from the players). That's probably new. |
I thought they were going to be hard-pressed to duplicate what they did last year. |
I thought Wandy did a super job, ... He must have had some late movement, because he got a lot of ground balls. But he was down in the zone a lot, and in the middle part of the game he went up the zone a little bit. |
I thought we had plenty of runs, we had Roy on the mound and things looked pretty good. Then a few innings later things didn't look so good. It was a game you didn't want to let get away. |
I thought we were going to him today, but they told him (Saturday) he could not play. I suspected that was going to be the case. |
I told Bruntlett he missed the cutoff man again tonight, ... But that's because he threw it so fast, the cutoff guy couldn't get there in time. He made a great play. He made a super play. |
I told him it would be better if he just meets us in Houston. There's a chance he wouldn't even make it in. We shouldn't be in too bad of shape. |
I told him to take whatever time he needed, to come back when he's ready, ... That may be tomorrow, that may be the next day or the next day after that. |
I want him to be in the 15-win range, maybe six or seven games over .500. My only criticism, if I have one, is that he gets behind hitters during the regular season. He doesn't do that in the playoffs because he is aggressive and gets ahead of the hitters. |
I wanted to get him in, but I would like to have him maybe catch one guy, and that way when we get into these long stretches I won't wear Brad (Ausmus ) out. |
I was a little concerned about him. I didn't think the last couple of batters he threw the ball like he had been throwing. |
I was concerned about it, |
I was happy to see the way he threw. We did not see that at all in spring, but from the first pitch I knew he was feeling good. |
I was just looking at the rest of the games and seeing how to make it fair for them to be able to catch and be in shape and do the best they can do, too, while taking a good, hard look at Munson. |
I wasn't a rookie in pennant races, but I was a rookie calling the shots. The players made me look good. |
