I always knew we had a lot of fight in us. |
I always liked Rodriguez. He has good stuff. He's young, so I think it's a matter of maturing. We're looking at Rodriguez as a starter first. |
I came here to win and will never be satisfied until we do go to the World Series and win, |
I came here to win, and I'll never be satisfied until we get to the World Series and win. We're all on the same page. We just need to get a little bit better. |
I can't imagine all that working out. |
I did not consider it. Usually Bell is a pretty good base runner. In a close game, I wanted him in for defense. |
I don't even want to talk about that. That's a joke. If he just plays like he's been playing, he doesn't need that put into his head. If he keeps that same demeanor, he'll be all right. |
I don't know [if people believe that]. If they do, they shouldn't because that's damn sure not true. I understand everything about baseball. |
I don't know if it's a one start thing or not. |
I don't know if they're a better team than us because we haven't shown what we can do yet. They definitely played better. They had guys on base in all three games a lot. We just didn't play very good with them. We've just got to get going, that's all. |
I don't know if they're better but they definitely played better than we did. Every day that we lose it's a disappointment. |
I don't need anybody to help me get a job [in baseball]. I've been in baseball 42 years. I don't need to brown-nose or kiss anybody's [behind]. I didn't get here by being a yes man. |
I don't see why it should affect us. We have nine games to play, and we have to win as many of them as we can. Why wouldn't we play our best? |
I don't want to pin that down, but it would be tough. We have to work him up slowly so he can play nine [innings]. |
I don't worry about injuries but I do worry about young players wearing down. You have to play the game like it sets up and that's where you decide what you need from each player. |
