Billy is like the pitching coach of the bullpen. He's a great compliment to (pitching coach) Mike Maddux and he has played a big part in the success we've had out there. When those guys come in the game, he's got them ready to go.

average difficult hitting joe record streak tremendous understand win year
The average person probably doesn't understand what he has done and the accomplishments he's achieved, ... To win 14 consecutive years, it's like Joe DiMaggio's 56-game hitting streak - it's a record that never will be broken. He has done it with tremendous turnover in roster. He has done it under difficult circumstances. He has done it with rookies. He has done it with veterans. He just does it year after year after year.
