just to try and look at the details of everything that happened.
I was able to beat a few guys in the zone and they (fly balls) stayed in the ballpark,
I was just sitting back letting him enjoy it over there, ... What else can you do?
I was just sitting back and letting him enjoy it over there, ... I mean, what else can you do? It was a very hittable pitch. Guys on this level, whether they're 21 or 41, are going to hit that. And he took advantage of it. I've given up some home runs, I'm sure, in my career. But it was probably pretty exciting for that kid.
Roberts said. ''This is my team. It's special. It's doubly special for me. I missed school to watch this team play. I had dreams of playing for the Padres.
Our O-line just came out and wanted to get it done,
I get my determination from her, ... She told me to go to work.
He would have to be here. He would have to. If I was to be here, I would need that man back there. He's that valuable.
He's come a long way since we were teammates in Toronto. He was a good pitcher then. Obviously, he has far more experience now.
He had no-hit stuff early. I'm so proud of that kid, and he's somebody we're going to have around here for a long time.
He was on tonight, and we've seen it many times, no-hit stuff early. What we saw tonight is what I've been witnessing for two years. The guy's won 20 games twice and they talk about him going unnoticed. He's not unnoticed around here.
He was eager to learn when he came over. We tried to encourage him on many occasions to come out and work with us.
He was a good pitcher then, and obviously he's more experienced now. He's doing a real fine job.
He wanted to give us his congratulations, ... I expect nothing less from Joe. It was great to hear his voice, and he wished us luck.
