became chicago finally franchise people proud
For the franchise it's great, ... Finally we make another big step. I think the people in Chicago should feel proud of these players. They did everything. Every day they come out and became what we are.
baseball care good people proved
If I think I'm good, I don't care about that stuff. If he's not with the Cubs, he'll be with someone else. He's already proved to a lot of people in baseball that he's a good manager. That's it, he's a good manager.
best feeling
If I get to do it with this ballclub? Whoa, that's going to be the best feeling ever.
balls great hit home middle name plate six throw top wants whatever
If he wants to get it done, I'll throw six balls right down the middle of the plate and let him hit six home runs, and let him do whatever he wants to do. He'll get it. I think it would be great for baseball, great for the game, because now we put another name on top of those names.
couple guys happy
If he's not here, we don't think about him. If he's here, great. We can see him, see how he is. I know a couple of the guys here would be really happy to see him.
ask game last next percent player ready tells unless upset wants
He told me that he wanted to play. I ask my player the next day, especially the catcher, and he said he's ready to go. He wants to play. I think he was a little upset by the game last night. I'm not going to play him unless he tells me that he's 80 to 100 percent ready to go.
ball base credit guy kept people score team throw
He throw the ball good. You have to give credit to the guy when he throw the ball well. He kept our team off-balance. We didn't have that many people on base and to score runs, you have to have people on base.
bat good swings
He swings the bat real good at the right moment, especially when we need it.
injury kid mentally people percent shame stuff wonder
He said Marte is fine. He's 100 percent to go, ... It makes you wonder if the injury was mentally or physically. If the injury was mental, it's a shame because that kid has better stuff than a lot of people in this game.
ball days garland threw throwing today
Garland threw the ball real poorly. He wasn't throwing strikes. Today was one of those days he didn't have it.
assured broken drunken gets passed
I assured him if it gets passed around by drunken ballplayers after winning, it wouldn't be broken in Venezuela,
expect throw
I am not panicking. I just expect him to throw more strikes.
guy matter throws
If 'Duque' throws well, we'll see how we'll use him, but this guy will be in the mix. It's just a matter of how we use him.
baseball counts high hurt last later low might month pitch played throw trying
I don't want to see high pitch counts because they might get hurt later in the season. Last year, they played another month of baseball that they never did before. I'm trying to keep the pitch counts low to keep them fresh. If you throw 130-140, in the end you'll pay. Don't overdue it.
