They pitched to Barry with a guy throwing 98, 97 mph. ...If that guy doesn't pitch to him, who will?
goes good time win
Pretty good lefty, huh? Every time he goes to pitch, we feel like we're going to win the game.
changed deal dealing easy man since
It was very hard, but it was easy because when you deal with a man like that, everything is easy. I've been dealing with him since he was 22. He hasn't changed as a person.
bullpen full good guys hands next possibilities
Correia and (Brad) Hennessey were guys who were always up and down, bullpen back to starting. Now we have our hands full with good possibilities for next year. Correia won't have to go back to the bullpen.

They're doing it with young guys. And most of them have been there the entire year.
difference feeling
There's a feeling of urgency, because we know the difference that he could make for us.
anybody
He'll probably pinch-hit for anybody in the lineup.

players
Some players leaned on them. It should be a lot more relaxed.
guess lukewarm rule turn
I guess it's a rule now. We have them, but they're lukewarm and you can't turn them up.
