I have a little experience, but not much, ... I forgot everything from 1989. They told me just to be myself, and to forget about the statistics all that much, and talk about the game. Basically, I'm a manager in the booth. |
I just have him as my long guy and we haven't needed a long guy for a while, ... I'd like to see him pitch more. |
I know I get a nice paycheck next year from Tampa Bay, |
I like hearing the comments the inductees make. It's exciting. It really is. It's getting to the point where some of the guys I've played with and managed or managed against will be getting there. Yeah, it's a great spectacle. |
I liked the way our chemistry was starting to form, ... I liked the way our mental toughness approach was getting better. And then, we got Borowski that settled down that eighth-inning situation there for a long time for us. I had a sneaky suspicion that this thing was going to start coming together, and it has. It's been a nice second half for our baseball team. |
I lost a lot of balls to the right today. |
I might be doing this next year. It's not for sure - nothing's for sure. I like it. I'm enjoying this. |
I said, 'let's get in the middle of the ring and throw some right hooks,' |
I think he showed that he was capable of being a respectable offensive player last year, but I didn't see the 100-RBI potential, ... I'll be the first one to admit that. |
I think he was getting better as the game progressed. Seven real good innings. |
I think he's just trying to make our guys confident. It's a good ploy. |
I think he's pitching with a little more purpose, |
I think it will probably curtail that type of thing from happening at other ballparks. It'll keep the playing field safer, which is a concern. You hate to see a fan penalized, but what are you going to do? |
I think it's going to come down to the face-to-face meetings. Both teams are good teams. (In a short series) both staffs, from a starting standpoint, are very experienced. Really, that bodes well for both teams. |
I think Tejada thought he had a pretty good shot [at throwing out Gathright] at first base. But, boy, he scooted down the line. |
