I think I'm going to have to make more of an effort to make calls on a regular basis if something's going to get me upset or angry or whatever,
I think he throws him out if he gets a clean release. That's the play. It just didn't work out.
I think he's going to be an outstanding manager when he decides to do that and the opportunity comes to him,
I think he's chomping at the bit at this point to do more than we're letting him do.
I think his last two outings are the best ones he's had all year. I don't know if he's getting stronger or just feeling better.
You can feel the bubbles going before you get there but it's always satisfying for me. You still get the attention of the players. To me, that's the best part of what I do, dealing with these players.
You don't even know he's around and when he's around you don't know he's around.
We'd probably like to go to someone else, but Ruben assured me four or five days ago that he could play the field.
I still want to manage here, and I'm satisfied that George feels he still wants me to manage here, ... I had to not only hear it, but (also) hear the tone in which it was said.... I'm not asking him to change. I just wanted, for my own satisfaction, to find out if he still trusts me with his team.
It could've been the most important play of the game.
I think it will be more comfortable for him. I think that's been from Spring Training all the way through. It's been less hectic than last year.
I think more than anything, it's that he hasn't pitched.
I thought he was pretty sharp, considering he hasn't been out there in a week. He has a very calm demeanor out there, and you trust him so much from all these years of what he's done.
I thought Hernandez was pretty damn good, but Randy was certainly equal to the task. He was terrific; he just dominated.
