Why put the burden on baseball to try and figure out where to go, and maybe put an asterisk? Just wipe the whole thing out.
To me that isn't arguing balls and strikes, is it?
You have good results when you have good at-bats. And we had a lot of good at-bats tonight. Everybody chipped in.
This young man is special. He was learning about catching with no hesitation on his part. He's really come a long way in a short period of time. And then to have to tell him this, it was very difficult. But we need pitching more than anything else right now.
We didn't get him to lead off. But he's going to be there if he's succeeding and the other guys in the lineup are doing their job. Right now he's comfortable there.
We need to start performing the way this team is capable of and what we expect - and that's pitching, defense and hitting. Until we do that, we're going to get beat.
We've had trouble all year with a runner on third and less than two outs. Baerga knows how to hit. He just didn't get it done tonight.
Who's it going to be? ... We don't have other starters here.
We would prefer him to do one more, but if he's out of that one and everything is fine, that would be close enough for him to go five or six innings.
People come out to see the players. When do you see a manager anyway? When he's out on the field arguing with the umpires, making a fool of himself and you know you can't win, and when he brings out the line-up card.
If he can hit, he can hit. I don't care if he came from Class Z league.
We got in that position because of injuries and don't think we didn't know we were short in the minor leagues. We knew that, but who is going to foresee injuries?
We will have experienced guys sitting on the bench this year that have been successful in that role they play. They understand it and accept it and produce in that role. So it should be better.
We want to win tomorrow. We'll go out and approach it that way, and hopefully we can get one.
