He is a legitimate power threat swinging the bat. |
He just didn't locate like we're accustomed to seeing him locate. But I think that will be forthcoming. It was good for Andy to bounce back after his last outing. |
He just likes going out and pitching, doing his job and saying, 'Thank you very much,' and going home. |
He just made outstanding plays and very smart plays, so there's no reason why he's not on track there. The first time you're out there, sometimes you over-try. I remember him saying the upper deck gave him a little bit of trouble at times. There's no reason why he can't have another good showing. |
He just took our bats and shoved them up our bat racks. |
He just wanted to go out and throw the ball over the plate. That's what he did. He didn't throw too many breaking balls. He just threw some fastballs. He got them where he wanted them. |
He knows how much we would like to have him back. I think this is the perfect spot for him. |
He looks entirely different. I'm very pleasantly surprised and pleased. From what I see, he's definitely got a chance. |
He made a lot of real good pitches and only made a couple of mistakes, even though the home run to Delgado wasn't a mistake. He made a real good pitch. I thought he did a decent job, especially against a team that has some real good bats and is leading the league in hitting. |
He might be the best all-around player in baseball today. If we're going to put our money somewhere ... |
He might have thrown 10, 20 innings, and I'm honest with you when I say that. I think he was prepared to do whatever it took. I've never seen anyone like him. He's amazing. |
He might jump right in and be able to take off. If you don't have an injury, you can get ready a lot quicker. ... I might look back at the first part of the season and say, 'Well, we needed another five days.' Right now, I don't know. We'll get him to pitch even if it's over in the Minor Leagues. If he ends up being the better candidate, he moves to the head of the class. |
He needs to take the start [off]. It is what it is. |
He personifies what we've been talking about, with determination, guts, the will to win and the tough part. When you look at Andy or talk to him, he's got such a happy face and such a happy demeanor it belies how tough he is. |
He pitched a little tight and you want to be careful with [Hall] because he's got power, but you don't like to walk him and that's why we put Wheeler in those situations -- because he usually doesn't walk guys. Hall comes up with the big hit and beyond that, they put the ball in play. You have to give them credit. They didn't strike out. That's what we were looking for. |
