I like them to think. |
I like what I'm seeing. Everybody who's had Jason raved about him, both as a pitcher and a person, which is very important. |
I liked them both today a lot. They both did a great job. I thought Hendrickson threw extremely well at the end. |
I look at (makeup) first of all, guys that like to get the last three outs. And furthermore, if they don't get 'em tonight and they lose or give it up, they can come back the next night and get it done. For me, that's really an important issue with the closer. |
I love everything he does. He is everything they said he is. |
I love it, I love it. I really think it's great. I'm really looking forward to us expanding our Latin American horizons. I think it's a wonderful thing for the Devil Rays organization. |
I mean, if he stays at a 1.25 to 1.35, I'll be happy. That makes him a lot more functional against teams that like to run. I think it makes him more comfortable, in that he knows how to control those situations, too. |
I ran into him when I was going out on the field. Thank God for modern transportation. |
I really want to put forth the thought that we're aiming high. That's the main thing we're going to talk about, aiming high. The danger in aiming low is that you might hit your mark. |
I said the runners don't count. |
I said you're feeling pretty good because you've been taking your time. Continue to take your time. |
I saw how it elevated pitchers internally. They just felt better about themselves. And we need to elevate our pitchers. It's contagious. Good hitting is contagious. Good pitching is also contagious. Guys want to keep up with the club. |
I still don't think he's 100 percent. And I don't want to put him out there (in a spring training game) if he's not 100 percent. |
I still don't think he's 100 percent. I don't want to put him out here until he knows that he's 100. I just don't think he's built up enough arm strength to pitch [against major-leaguers] yet. |
I think [Wednesday night's win] is a great one to build on. I know we're moving parts, but the people who are here are coming to play every day. |
