believe care guy outing particular
That's the way it is. I don't believe one particular outing is going to make a difference. He's the kind of guy who doesn't really care who's on the other side.
believe fact hit innings playing respect time
We have to respect the fact he's playing all those innings and getting all those at-bats. We believe he's going to hit one every time up.
affect affected barry bat believe guy main veteran
I don't believe it will affect this veteran team. The main guy is Barry and if he does his thing with the bat and is not affected by it, I don't think we'll be.
believe deal month playing rush swinging
I believe the way I see him swinging he may not need more than those at-bats. Now playing defense, that's something else. We'll see how it goes. We're not going to rush anything. We have more than a month right now to deal with it.
believe bonds came giants good help knee last late outfield rule year
I believe that the DH rule is going to be in effect, so Bonds will probably just hit. I think it will be good for him to get those at-bats without having to be in the outfield like he did when he came back late last year on that knee and at least sharpen his swing, which really don't need a whole lot to be sharp, but it will be a help for him and to the Giants and to the tournament, to the U.S. team.
believe guy
I believe the guy has been around long enough to know what he's doing.

barry believe came game himself intend night talk year
We've got to be a lot more careful. Barry himself has to be a lot more careful. I know in 2004 there were many times when I didn't intend to play him. And he came over and said, 'Hey I want to play.' And then he played. I believe that this year that he and I will talk a lot more about when he's going to play and especially the day game after a night game, but I'll take anything over 100.
again believe close good happens including people pitching played players serious teams
When the good teams played they were very close games. Pitching dominated. When that happens anyone, including the U.S., can get beat. I believe that if it happens again with this kind of tournament, some of the people including the players who didn't believe it was serious will have to believe now that it is serious.
believe hit time
We believe he's going to hit one every time up.
actions appreciate believe closing understand upgrade whatever
It was a big crowd, but I don't believe it was a big threat. There were some abusive actions and words, but I understand they were going to upgrade whatever they did (by closing the left-field area). We were told about that . . . and we appreciate it.
bases believe capable great guy hide hitting home judged left question reach runs since speed steal talent
This guy is only being judged by the home runs now. Right now, he's only capable of hitting home runs. He doesn't steal the bases anymore. He's not the (superb) left fielder anymore. He doesn't have the speed anymore. I believe that when we reach back, we are going to hide all that talent that started when he was a kid. Because there's no question about it, this guy's been great since he was a kid.
anybody believed guess hear maybe people saw
I thought about it when I saw that. Maybe other people will be called. I guess anybody who they believed to know something, they want to hear (those) people talk.
