ball balls coming hand last looks totally victor
I thought Victor got the ball down really nice. I just think he looks totally different than he was last year. It looks like he's looser, freer, and balls are coming out of his hand real well.
players six three together
I think we had, what, three players who had six hits. You've got to put it together more than that.
games
I think we should be 10 games over really.
love manager mind
I think any manager in his right mind would love to have a Pedro Martinez.
arizona carry city coming good great mean nice pitching runs thinking
Just because you have a nice feel coming into a city doesn't mean you're going to carry it over. I wasn't thinking just because we scored a lot of runs in Arizona that we were going to come here and do the same thing necessarily. We got after it pretty good there. But that's a great hitters' ballpark, a different pitching staff.
beat managers mean rarely talk tight trying
Just because we're tight doesn't mean we talk all the time, especially when you're trying to beat each other. Very rarely do the managers talk to each other after the game.
against certain environment gets lights pitch playing positive saw stuff until
I saw him pitch lights out many times against the Yankees. We have to play this stuff out. I'm just being really positive about him because I know he can do certain things. But until he gets into this new environment playing for us, you don't know that.
against lights pitch saw shut
I saw him pitch lights out many times against the Yankees. He's always been a little up and down. He really, at times, would come in and shut the door.
attack fastball good pitches saw sneaky
I saw him on TV. He's got a good curve, a sneaky fastball and he pitches inside. I was impressed. But we're going to attack him. You don't give him too much respect. He's a young player, and you've got to attack him. You don't let him get too comfortable.
ask game good last night
I said last night I would see how he felt. He had a pretty good game for us but I still didn't even ask him if he wanted to play because he got hit.
honest man meant mind respect speaks
I respect a man that speaks his mind and is honest in what he believes. I don't feel he meant any disrespect.
ready trust
Pedro will be ready. I trust Pedro that he'll be ready to go. That's what I go by.
arm bother feels minor
Pedro told me that his arm feels great. He has this little, minor thing with his toe, but I don't think it's going to bother him at all.
bad ball elevated expect four home runs unusual
Pedro just made some bad pitches. He elevated some, and the ball was carrying. It was very unusual for Pedro. He's human. You don't expect to see four home runs off anyone, especially not him.
