four last seen
It's been happening, I've seen it for four years. It may be louder. It's not a whole lot more than the last four years.
pass
I think he wanted to pass the Babe.
college face guys polished stuff throws
I was one of the first guys to face Seaver in the majors. He was a college guy (Southern Cal), so he was more polished than this kid. But the stuff he throws is the same.
anytime barry batting beaten hit line managers memories walk whoever
Anytime Barry is up at the plate, he's a threat. Opposing managers have memories of the times he's beaten them. They are going to walk him. Mo, or whoever is batting after him, has to do what he did, hit a line drive.
several throwing
He's throwing harder. His first several fastballs had a lot of life.
days night percent
There's no injury. He's 100 percent going to play (Friday night at Colorado). Two days was going to be better than one day.
bad competition face fiery leagues minor reduced
He's a fiery type. When we had him in the minor leagues in Montreal, he was in competition with everybody, the umpires, the opposing teams. He reduced that a lot. I like Milton. Too bad we still have to face him.
barry hard
It's been hard to get Mo and Barry in the same lineup all year.
action expect falling guys
He was really tired. I don't expect him to play. Also, this outfield, you see young guys slipping and falling on the grass. I believe, all things considered, No. 25 won't see any action tomorrow.
main
The main thing is he's here now. That's big.
means touch
That means don't touch him, just let him go out there and pitch.
base good men
He also hasn't been good with men on base lately.
everybody last life likes love missing since velocity
It was very difficult. He just hasn't been the same pitcher. His velocity was down, and he had no life on his fastball. That has been missing since last year. Personally, I love him and the way he plays. Everybody likes him.
feeling good trainer
The trainer had a pretty good feeling this (wasn't) 1999.
