They're getting around it, ... They know who they want and they bring in a minority or two and interview them. They're circumventing the policy. The commissioner's office has to look at this and tighten the guidelines. They have to get more involved in the interview process, maybe have a representative from the commissioner's office at the interviews.
It wasn't even close. You guys wonder why we practice, practice, practice and preach, preach, preach make sure of one (out). Take your time and make sure of one. They don't have a chance if you don't make a good throw.
It was probably the best game he's pitched in the last five or six ball games. His knee is getting better each start, and he is getting back to where he normally would be: that is hitting the corners with his pitches and changing speeds.
It was right there for us the first three innings. We just didn't put Willis away.
It was a very well-played game. It all started with pitching and it all started with defense.
It was a very well-played game, but it all started with pitching and defense. Again, we didn't tear the cover off the ball. We scored one run. This is what we have to do to compete. Hopefully, we can put it together. This is probably the third or fourth sharp game that we have played, but this the best that we played.
It was important for him to go seven tonight. He didn't have a high pitch count, so he should be OK on Sunday. We got our cake and ate it, too, tonight.
It's Barry Bonds. I don't see why not. The way he's hitting, he certainly has the capability of doing that.
The next step is to write his name in the lineup for Wednesday's game and see if he will show up in Jupiter and go out and play the outfield.
You think I would have stayed in the dugout if I saw it come out?
The offense is just not clicking right now.
That's something we haven't done. It's just a nice feeling to be the team that's out front.
It's never too early to be concerned. But I'm not ready to go jump off a building or anything.
A lot of guys said he was off the wall, he's crazy. I found him to be a guy with a lot of energy. He played the game hard. He just wanted to go out and play. Sometimes his emotion got in the way. He would lose control and tear things. I talked to him and reasoned with him. I listened to him. We developed a fondness for each other. I admire him for the way he goes about his work.
