Very well deserved. What else would you ask Craig Wilson to do?

That was another terrific performance by Derek Lowe . You can't ask any more than what he has given us the past few starts.
against asking couple front group looking past players question realizing stability talent terrific
The allure, for me, was, No. 1, the stability of the front office. The other thing was looking at a group of players I'd managed against the past couple of years and realizing there's some terrific young talent here and asking myself the question 'Why can't it be better than it has been?

I don't know that we'd be asking that same question ... he had a start in Milwaukee that was awfully good. He had a tough time today.
ask days eighth either guys period seventh sit special time
We've got to find opportunities for them. I don't want to see either of them sit for any period of time and not participate. We can't let these guys sit for days on end and then ask them to do something special in the seventh or eighth inning.
asking craig large prepared spring wilson
You have to be prepared for something like this to take place with one of your players. As I said many times during Spring Training, always be asking yourself the what-if question. Craig Wilson looms very large right now.

He's a very smart young man. He's done all the things that he's been asked to do on a day-to-day basis. There is, in fact, not anything I've seen from him that I haven't liked.

If you have enthusiasm, thank God for it. If you don't have it, get down on your knees and ask God for it.

You can't ask a group of players to play any harder than they have for two days and, especially tonight, take the kind of at-bats that we took all night long.

We were pitched to death. It's the best game that's been pitched against us all year.

What takes place between the pitcher's mound and behind the plate is vitally important to the success of a major-league team. I think Ryan is realizing that more every day.

We got pitched to death. He dominated the game.
