[With his players, Hurdle] only talks about the good things, ... He tells you when she's diving down and getting coins at the bottom of the pool. |
Any win is a good win, especially on Opening Day, but this is a game where we found a way to win. If we are going to compete this year, that's the kind of game we have to win. |
Better be. That's the reason we put up with this year. |
He doesn't fear anything or anyone when he's out there. |
He throws hard, the ball moves everywhere. He threw a hard slider. He's tough to hit. |
His technique is flawless. He's short, quick. His head does not move. He stays behind the baseball. If you were teaching a swing, I would start by showing the kid Bonds' swing. |
Honest, I'm just trying not to do too much and it's yielded some pretty good results, |
Hopefully, we all learned something here. I'm glad he didn't take me out. |
I could have moved, but it would have had to be years ago. Now I'm too old and set in my ways. It's a lot shorter run from the dugout to first than all the way out there in left field. |
I didn't really know what to expect. I guess I expected to feel good and I did feel good. |
I don't know what to expect. I don't know why baseball would make my stomach feel any worse than sitting on the couch. It's kind of weird not knowing what to expect. But I expect to feel good and I do feel good. |
I don't see why not. He was starting to last year and he got hurt. |
I felt guilty, ... You get paid to do a job and don't do it, you have to feel guilty. |
I got some good pitches to hit, but I tried to do a little too much. |
I have no crystal ball to allow me to say we are going to win the (National League) West or World Series. A lot of things have to go right . . . but I can say we have players with the ability to win. |
