Right now we're just digesting all the information and hoping that everybody gets through all these games without a problem. We'll wait as long as we can.
Right now, we're just digesting all the information and hoping everyone gets through all these games without a problem. Chacon seems as relaxed as I've ever seen anybody I've ever seen in Spring Training.
I think he throws him out if he gets a clean release. That's the play. It just didn't work out.
It's tough to tell you, aside from Randy and Moose, who the other starters are going to be. Right now we're just digesting all the information and hope everybody gets through all these games without a problem.
It'll be partly who can handle the bullpen and partly who can be out of the mix and get it back quick once he gets back in the mix.
What we need is length out of our starting pitchers. Moose probably needs another start or two before he gets there. El Duque is still developing arm strength. The one thing we've always stressed here during our success is the role of the starting pitchers. That's where it all begins for us.
We're not thinking of either one; we're just thinking about winning every game. We'll win as many games as we can and we'll see what that gets us. That's basically our mentality right now.
It gets to the point where they just stopped thinking, went out there and reacted. It was sort of a playful determination that they had out there.
He carried that with him the first half of the year. If for some reason his routine gets disrupted, (he's) sort of off-center. But he left spring with a good look in his eye.
I didn't know what to expect going in. But nothing gets by these fans. Bernie didn't know whether to take a bow (in the eighth inning). He looked over at me and I gave him a nod.
You can see a little fire in him, especially when he gets angry with himself. He gets more determined. He does a real good job when he gets in trouble.
We just want to get home, ... Not many guys have had their families with them the entire time and we want to get back.
When a guy like that goes out there you feel you have the edge.
We had them on the ropes early and couldn't put them away. That's our fault.
