I can't remember a game called because of lights. It just wouldn't have been right to have those guys sitting around for 40 minutes, 50 minutes, an hour.
No one was like him. No one is going to be like him after this.
No, I'm not concerned. If you're concerned, then you're worried about something, and I'm not worried about anything.
What I think they've done the last three days is play the way they're capable of playing. Their attention is now on baseball itself and not a lot of outside stuff, and it's starting to show up on the field.
What it becomes is that you expect something is going to happen because you keep losing, ... You're going to make a bad play, you're going to make a bad throw, you're going to give up a home run. You expect to lose. That's what it is.
What we said when we sent him down was, 'Go down, get yourself going.' Did he do that? No. We just feel like he has proven he can hit up here before. ... We said we'll give him the first shot. Maybe he'll get going up here.
Absolutely, I knew it was a good move. If we needed to make a move at shortstop, it wouldn't be a drop-off defensively. ... We didn't have that last year.
About this ballpark? The dimensions? The answer is no.
It seems like every team has a guy that is fortunate that the team scores for (him), and there's that hard-luck guy they don't score for.
It seems like every staff has a guy that a team scores runs for, and then there's this hard-luck guy that they don't score runs for. This may be his year to get the run support.
It seems like when we get a decent pitched game we do nothing offensively.
It's a relief for everybody, it really is. We get the distractions away from here and we can focus on baseball now.
It's a relief for everybody, it really is.
It's a big adjustment for him. You can have the talent, but if you don't want to work at it, you won't get any better. I have patience in him. I hope he has patience in himself.
