It's muddled. To be as muddled as it is now is ... intriguing. |
It's not about the velocity. What impressed me was the movement Oliver had with his fastball in the hitting zone. He pitched great. He pitched like the ace of a staff. |
It's not how you start. It's how you finish. It's what it looks like after six months of play. |
It's not just one conversation. We've talked an awful lot about what a leadoff hitter is all about, in my opinion, and the role he plays in setting a table. |
It's not out of the realm of possibility, ... It's not something we've never seen before (in major league history), where a club loses four or five in a row and you win four or five in a row. |
It's not the greatest thing in the world to go 4-6 like we did. But it's not the end of the world, either, when you compete like we have. |
It's nothing that surprised us. It's all pre-existing. After they do those two spots, depending on how the progress is with his left wrist, they may have to do something with that, too. |
It's one more thing we have to deal with this year and one thing we have to bring into next season. |
It's pretty close right now, yeah. |
It's probably the prettiest of all the plaques I have. |
It's safe to say we made miscues that led to every single run. We have young players out there. To expect them to perform like seasoned veterans is asking a little much. When you're involved in a ballgame like tonight's, you can ill afford to make the mistakes we made tonight. |
It's the difference in the game. He battled. |
It's the difference in the game. I give him a lot of credit. He battled. This kid, in two starts, has shown me an awful lot of character, and I know he is capable of winning at the Major League level. |
It's the intangibles they have, |
It's unfortunate that we weren't able to win the game. But I don't consider it to be a bad beginning. |
