Date of Birth12 May 1935
early game good kept
He was OK. Not his real good outing. Nevertheless, he kept us in the game even with the early runs.
hit knew run throw tremendous
He was one of those five-tool guys. He could throw and run and hit with power, everything. He was green, 20 years old, a big kid. He made some mistakes. But we knew he was going to be a tremendous player, an MVP-type of guy.
action expect falling guys
He was really tired. I don't expect him to play. Also, this outfield, you see young guys slipping and falling on the grass. I believe, all things considered, No. 25 won't see any action tomorrow.
maybe pitching three
He's pitching as well as he did three years ago, maybe better.
feels healthy wants
He wants to play. He always wants to play. As long as he feels healthy enough to do that.
great hitters intelligence intelligence-and-intellectuals
He didn't have one great pitch, but he got hitters out with intelligence and command.
base fell guy hits short stopping striking worked
He can really pitch. This is a guy who two years ago bounced a lot of fastballs that fell short of the target. He has worked hard. ... Today, he is right there striking out people, stopping rallies, fielding his position, getting base hits and challenging hitters.
certainly everyday glad good happen last next package season
He certainly has the package to be an everyday guy, we think. I don't know what will happen with Ray. I'm glad he's here. He had a pretty good season last year. I don't know what will happen next year.
breaking bullpen guys mph type
He could be a lot like Scott Eyre, ... He has the same type of breaking ball, a 92 to 93 mph fastball. You don't see too many bullpen guys like that.
hope mind pitcher
He is the only pitcher I went (behind the cage) to see. I hope he didn't mind that.
knows
He knows we need him real bad. Even if he's not up to par.
confidence guys help knows team turn
He knows we like him a lot and we have confidence in him. He's not here to turn the team or anything. We have other guys to do that. He's here to help us.
discuss everybody except normal seen since talked time urgency wants
I think everybody wants to see him. I haven't seen him since October, but we've talked on the phone. There's no urgency to talk except for the normal welcoming. There's a lot of time to discuss things.
pass
I think he wanted to pass the Babe.
