deeper five game stuff
You can't keep going five innings. He's got better stuff to go deeper into the game than that.
explore
I would say that we'll explore something. I don't know if we have something in mind.
felt happens hope rest six talked time
I talked to Richie at the time it happened, and we felt if it was going to completely heal, it was going to take about six weeks. You just hope nothing happens to him and he can get through the rest of the month.
best chance glad good happy job joined leo miller pitching ray record remain speaks support thank time
I want to thank Ray Miller for all he did, for his support and his professionalism. Ray did an outstanding job and we remain good friends. Leo and I have been best friends for a long time and have always said that if I get the chance to manage, he would be my pitching coach. I'm glad for us that it will happen, but I'm really happy for the Orioles organization that Leo has joined the club. His record speaks for itself.
good help life
He said, 'I'm going to get some help and get my life straightened out.' I told him it wasn't going to be easy, and good luck.
attacked pitch willing
He showed he can pitch a little bit. We're willing to give it a shot. He attacked hitters. He didn't show me he was afraid.
catch concern hope thumb
He shouldn't be rusty. I just hope he doesn't catch one off his thumb and aggravates it. The only real concern I have is that doesn't happen. Everything else, I'm comfortable with.
anxious approach good later maybe september talk unless until wants
He hasn't said anything to me. Until he mentions it, I won't even approach it. It does me no good to talk to him unless he really wants to do it. I don't think he's anxious right now to take a day off. Maybe later in September he will be.
believe due felt supposed time totally
I always felt in due time I would be rewarded. I totally believe this was the time it was supposed to be.
creeping expect failure good guy guys later nine pay sooner time
I just think it's a failure to get one guy hot. You got nine guys in the lineup. You don't expect nine guys to scuffle. Someone is going to pay for it sooner or later. But that doesn't make me feel good at all. Sooner or later they're going to get their hits. We need them to do it sooner than later. Time is creeping up on us.
care contract general managers situation surprising talked unique
I haven't talked to anybody. We have a unique situation where everyone is out of a contract at the end of the year, so it's not surprising he hasn't done anything with me because he's got general managers to take care of, too. It complicates the situation, to say the least.
attention betting drew helped possibly rather seen sure
I probably would rather have not seen it. I'm sure that it helped a little bit, but if I were a betting man, I'd bet it drew attention to it and could possibly make it worse.
best gonna hit pitch
If you're gonna let Manny hit something out of the ballpark, is he going to hit your best pitch, your second-best pitch or your third-best pitch? What is it?
balls effort few hold tried trying
In the effort of trying to hold them down, he tried a little too hard, maybe. He just got a few balls up.
