He's been pretty much lights out since he got over here.
They've added some much-needed arms to their bullpen. That will obviously make a difference.
We needed to exorcise some demons from last night. It was a little worrisome what happened last night. But tonight, what more can you say? They did a great job.
What's astounding to me is not that the guys have come up and helped. It's this year, guys have come up from Double-A and not (just) helped - I mean, they've produced. That's been shocking. You get a couple guys from Triple-A come up and help, that's very, very lucky.
The last thing I want to do is hurt the club's chances of winning. I'm used to playing the game a certain way and at a certain level. When I can no longer do that, I'll quit.
I know guys that are going to struggle. I know guys that don't play and 'bean' up. To me, that's becoming pretty reliant on something. It's going to have an effect. I don't think there's any doubt.
While I am flattered about the speculation of being enticed out of retirement, I'm happy with life as a bad golfer!
It never feels good, but I've had a couple of heartbreakers where I could have won the game, but instead ended the season, ... You learn from that.
You have to have the desire to succeed and you can do that without cheating. Well, some people can.
To have it happen after a colossal breakdown in our bullpen again, it was big. You've got to pick each other up, and we did it today.
We're going to go as far as our pitching staff takes us. It's been that way around here for years. If we pitch well, we're going to win a lot of games.
We're still knocking the rust off. I was glad just to come out after five innings.
We better get it turned around quick. We need to pitch better and hit better. About the only thing we're doing is playing defense.
There are a lot of egos in the clubhouse. For us to be successful, we have to put those egos aside and become good teammates and play the game the way we grew up playing it, pull for each other and genuinely be happy for each other.
