balls gets people problem starts throwing walking walks
His problem is when he walks people. When he starts walking people and throwing balls all over the place, he gets in trouble.
bit feels might needs position short talk third work
He's going to play a lot in the outfield. I'll use him at third and a little bit at second. I might not use him at short because I don't know how comfortable he feels there. I'll talk to him about what position he needs to work on the most and that's what he'll play.
best needed pitcher
He's been our best pitcher down the stretch. He has it all, the arm, the pitches, the control. All he needed was the confidence.
Hopefully, we keep it up all year. But we know it's not going to happen.
change hopefully stick
Hopefully we don't have to change the lineup during the season. You will do it, but I don't like to do it. Hopefully I can stick with the lineup most of the time.
hitter hopefully second seventh sixth somebody spot
Hopefully we can get somebody who can run. I want a second hitter so we can put Iguchi down in the sixth or seventh spot to get more (run production) out of him.

When he came to the States, he knows he's got to change the game for us, and he did, ... If you look at my team from a manager's view, one of the biggest reasons we're here is because of Iguchi.
dumb people standing taking
He was gambling, taking a a lot of risks. You go, 'Oh no don't do it,' and 'Oh, good. People think it's going to be a dumb play but when you make an out, you got a standing ovation.
against doubt frank wish
He was my teammate, and he don't do anything to me. Frank is Frank. I wish him the best, there's no doubt about it. I don't have anything against Frank. If I have anything against Frank, I will let him know.

I always believe that it's not the way you start, it's the way you finish. If people thought we weren't going to lose one, they're crazy.
