I knew he was fine. It was good to see him out there, good to see what the guy can do for us. |
I like him a lot. He's pushing everybody. I like what I see. |
I like the way our bullpen is shaping up right now. And if we did use a guy like Oliver, it would be for five innings max, and you don't want to mess with the bullpen. So it probably will be someone from Triple-A. |
I like to think our players are tough-minded. But sometimes you don't get the breaks and your execution breaks down. If you let the frustration of that get to you, then you won't be successful. ... We've taken a step back. We've got to get going again. |
I like what I've seen from him all spring, actually. He threw the ball well today, and I like the way he carries himself. If he continues to pitch well, he obviously has a chance. |
I like where we are. And I like where I think we're going. |
I look at it like (Boone) was never even here. |
I might be upset [in their shoes], but what can you do? We don't tell them how to do their business and they shouldn't be concerned about how we do ours. |
I pretty much have an idea what he can do. I think it's important the guys who have been here all year busting their [butts] deserve to finish the year. |
I relish the responsibility, that's why I'm here. I've always been about winning. |
I respect a man that speaks his mind and is honest in what he believes. I don't feel he meant any disrespect. |
I said last night I would see how he felt. He had a pretty good game for us but I still didn't even ask him if he wanted to play because he got hit. |
I saw him on TV. He's got a good curve, a sneaky fastball and he pitches inside. I was impressed. But we're going to attack him. You don't give him too much respect. He's a young player, and you've got to attack him. You don't let him get too comfortable. |
I saw him pitch lights out many times against the Yankees. He's always been a little up and down. He really, at times, would come in and shut the door. |
I saw him pitch lights out many times against the Yankees. We have to play this stuff out. I'm just being really positive about him because I know he can do certain things. But until he gets into this new environment playing for us, you don't know that. |
