I didn't ask if there were any questions. |
I think our bullpen last year matched up with their bullpen this year. We have to get back to the kind of bullpen we had last year. |
I told him he could come incognito, or as a fan, or as part of the ceremonies. |
I told John if he wanted to go back into baseball that I wouldn't stand in his way, but that he has an important role with us. I told Frank he was welcome to talk to John to see if he has any interest. He said he would call him and see. |
I wanted to get Buck's first-hand view of the team after a tough road trip. We try to do it a couple of times a year and it was good night to spend the evening talking baseball. I got his perspective on what's going on with team. |
I'm confident in his abilities and for the continued growth of the organization. |
I'm glad I didn't sell the team because it really has become special. I can't believe it's been 10 years. |
I'm going to tell him I think our fans would really embrace him, tell him that I think he could take us deep in the playoffs and maybe to our first World Series ... come June, July, whenever he's ready to pitch. |
I've been watching him real close the last year and a half, and I knew he was ready to do this. He's willing to think outside the box. He has a mental capacity to consider a lot of things at the same time. |
I've suffered right along with all the rest of the fans. We lost like seven one-run games. When we hit, we did not pitch. When there was pitching, there was no hitting. |
If we get our attendance up around 3 million, things could change, |
It means a little stability, a little security. |
It was not a big deal. There's not a lot of joy in the Rangerdom right now. That's baseball. |
It's a little more than I budgeted for, but I always said it's player specific. Based on what we did, I'm very satisfied. |
It's disappointing, it really is. Our players know the rules. They know they are going to be tested. If any of them get caught, shame on them. I am disappointed. |
