I'm happy for him. He seems to be having fun again. Everyone likes him. What's not to like? A kid full of enthusiasm, a big smile on his face, a young guy going out there and playing like he's a kid in a sandbox.
We need it. We need somebody to get hot, and he seems to be the guy now.
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.
He seems more comfortable and relaxed in camp this year.
He's pitched two excellent games. Why would we send him back? I like the way he conducts himself, handles himself on the mound. He seems to have excellent composure out there, veteran composure.
Hector has been a nice, pleasant surprise with another great effort on his part tonight. He has pitched four good starts. I don't know how he does it at this stage of the season. He seems to thrive on it.
When a guy is maybe on the lower end of the pain threshold, we have a tendency to maybe be a little critical of him and say what he should do and what he should be able to do. All I know is an individual knows himself and he knows what he is able to handle as far as pain is concerned.
We have to do whatever it takes right now, ... That's our rallying cry: whatever it takes. We have to put it together now. We can't win one, lose one, win one, lose two.
We had the ballgames. They were our ballgames to win, and we didn't finish them off.
We had the ballgames, ... They were our ballgames to win, and we didn't finish them off.
We chose not to give him an MRI. The physicals should include everything.
We certainly know we're going to lose him for the next two to three weeks, that's for sure. And with that type of absence from spring training, there's no way he can open the season.
