center greatest joe last mays missed players talk willie
He's one of the greatest players ever to play the game. When you talk about center fielders like Joe DiMaggio, Willie Mays and Mantle, he's up there with them. If he hadn't missed the last three-four years with injuries, he'd probably have at least 100 more homers.
balls encouraged help signed since sure talked
I'm sure everyone that's talked to him since the day he signed has encouraged him to do that more often. It's going to help him get some balls through the infield.
accurate gone management poor second unless
It was poor management on my part. I should've gone out after the second one and said, 'Don't try it unless you can make a strong, accurate throw.' I should've told him before the game.
ballgame hits homer huge time
We got some big hits from Dunn and Griffey. Griff's big three-run homer was huge for us at the time of the ballgame ... I like the way we played.
chance deserve eric gave great job lose milton win
Eric Milton just did a great job for us, gave us a chance to win the ballgame. He didn't deserve to lose that game.
anybody both good hitter sides
Felipe is going to hit. You won't see anybody up there red-hot all the time. He's a very good hitter from both sides of the plate.
good hit needed
We had some chances, and we had some pretty good at-bats, but we had nothing to show for it. We just didn't get a big hit when we needed it.
hudson might seen since tim
I've seen Tim Hudson since '99 and I thought Holby might need another day. If Ramirez had been pitching, he would have been in there.
healthy slow sure
Right now, we'll just really go slow with him, make sure he's healthy and don't overuse him.
catch
No one in the world I thought would catch that ball.
believe care expect guys happy lower park pitch runs wherever
I don't care what park you pitch in, I expect you to get guys out. I think if you lower your expectations, you'll have guys happy to give up some runs sometimes. I just believe in wherever you're pitching, you go out there and try not give up a run. If you give up a run, you try not give up two.
job milton
Milton did an outstanding job for us. We had the one big inning when we capitalized on their wildness.
austin depends maybe might pitchers rich
Maybe Austin Kearns, Rich Aurilia, I don't know, maybe Felipe Lopez, too, might get some rest. Depends on what pitchers we face, too.
later ready sounds
It sounds like, hopefully, later in the week, he'll be ready to go, ... He's day to day. We'll just have to see how he is every day.
