I feel very positive. No matter how bleak it might look, this clubhouse is going to stay positive. |
I felt good about the match-up. Bonds is a great hitter, but my closer is one of the best in the game. |
I felt like giving him a little twist. A guy with a little funk might be able to get him off guard. |
I guess I finally made it, ... I'm legit now. |
I guess I'm a show-me guy, I want to see that David can keep making the adjustments. |
I guess you pick your poison there. |
I have no control over what people do. It's unfortunate for them, but we have a drug policy and you have to adhere to that. If guys want to take on that, it's on them. I'm concerned about what happens on the big-league level. We have a policy in place and everyone understands that. That's the law. |
I held my breath there for a second. But you could see he's not moving too well. He didn't have any hops. |
I hold my breath a lot. When I've talked to him about taking a day, he looks at me like I'm nuts. |
I hope [Beltran] realizes how important that walk was. When he gets on, it can have the same impact as Jose. |
I hope so, ... That's encouraging. That's good. We can use him. |
I just remember thinking in my mind, 'Throw him a slider. Just throw him a slider. Give him something soft.' Loop kept throwing fastballs, and he probably got one in the zone and he put a bat on it. |
I just told them to make sure they don't like the taste they have in their mouth, that they spit it out right away, |
I just wanted to give [Cabrera] a different look. |
I just wanted to take his temperature real quick. Let him know what we expect from him.... I still have a lot of confidence in him. |
