best guy heck knows manager second somebody trust wants
There are two things. One, you know that you've got a guy that knows what the heck he's doing, and the second is that any manager wants somebody he can trust. If you can't trust your best friend, who can you?
carry guys pitches point stayed stretching throughout year
If Erik were at 80 or 90 pitches he would've stayed in. He's one of these guys who's going to carry us throughout the year and there's no use in stretching him out to a point where he doesn't belong.
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.
against beaten cut fastball few freeze half inner seemed strikes
We've beaten him a few times, but he's pitched pretty well against us a few times. He had that little cut fastball with two strikes on the inner half that seemed to freeze up our right-hand hitters. We couldn't get anything going offensively off him.
lazy quit trying yell
Yell at them for what? For not getting a hit? When they quit trying and get lazy I'll yell at all of them.
happen next ok
We're better than we're playing; we just need to concentrate a little more. It's not OK not to execute. ... As a team, I told them it's not going to happen next year. It's not acceptable.
finest men talked
When you talked about the Orioles, you talked about Elrod. Elrod Hendricks was one of the finest men I have ever met.
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.
last night pain
I think he was in a lot of pain last night and this morning.
deserves hitting less running time veterans
I think he deserves some more time to get through this. We've got some veterans that are hitting less than him that we keep running in there. There's been no talk, to me, on him not being here.
command good liked seen stuff
I thought his command wasn't as good as we would've liked to have seen it. But his stuff was good.
absolutely knew leagues managing prefer sorry
Managing in the big leagues is a challenge. I knew that from the get-go. Would I prefer it wouldn't be this way? Absolutely. Am I sorry about it? Absolutely not.
daniel game
That's the kind of game we look for Daniel to have all the time. He was outstanding. Fantastic.
asked base biggest concern gets good healthy help life luck please proper touched wished
My biggest concern is that Sidney gets the proper help and gets healthy and gets his life in order. I touched base with him (Wednesday), he actually called and thanked me for everything, all the support. He said he'd keep in touch me and I wished him good luck and asked him to please keep in touch with me.
