The problem comes if somebody doesn't get to play, and that's the advantages of depth and it helps the team, but some individuals will get hurt. I don't how that's going to work. |
The story so far is they're hammering on our mistakes, and we're exactly opposite. That's why we're having so much trouble. |
The thought of a squeeze crossed my mind, but you think he's one our better hitters and you want him to have a chance to win the ballgame and drive in a couple of runs. |
The umpire said he went to his mouth. It was a bad call. It was a mistaken call. It's unfortunate that the game, in my opinion, turned on that. You don't know what's going to happen, but it takes it out of the players hands. He did not go to his mouth. He was sweating profusely on his face. He wiped his eyebrow (and came) across his nose and caught it on his face. It was a bad call, plain and simple. |
The way he went about his business gave us great confidence. He went after them, he challenged them. |
The whole thing is OK. It's OK with the team. We don't have to worry about what he does in between starts because we know he does his work. It's evidenced by the way he pitches. |
The young kids haven't learned how to do it. They pitched around several of our veterans (last year) to get to the young kids. According to my statistical analysis, we were ranked at the bottom of the league in most all offensive categories. |
Their pitching is much improved over last year, |
Their pitching is much improved. I think the pitching is why they are where they are. Turnbow's been unbelievable. He's got confidence going now. When I first saw him, I thought he was just throwing. Right now, he looks to me he's throwing with confidence. |
There is (another) mutual day off, but it's at our ballpark. It's the Thursday off day after they complete a three-game series on Wednesday. |
There was a big difference between [Ryan] and the other guys, ... Whether opposing pitchers got keyed up to pitch against Nolan and pitched a little better than they would normally, I think there's something to that. |
There was no doubt that he can give this type of performance, |
There was no doubt that he could give this kind of performance, but you didn't know where his leg was going to be ... He had been working OK, but he was masterful again today. |
There was some conversation about maybe taking the rest of the year off and rehabbing his shoulder and getting it strong over the winter, ... It was Jeff that decided he wanted to do everything he could to get ready to go this year just in case something good happened. |
