He knows how to pitch. It's good to have him and the Big Unit to carry us, especially when we have a couple of young guys following.
Knock on wood, everything was fine. He's a little swollen, but everything seems to be in place. That's about as scary as it gets.
I think that's personality more than anything. (Hideki) Matsui is so different and he's got the language barrier, too.
Hernandez pitched one hell of a game. He's pretty damn good, that's for sure.
Knowing the makeup of the individual, knowing the fact that somebody's not afraid to make a mistake and the intelligence, that makes confidence in him easy for me to have.
I guess it was fitting; it was incredible. After last night's exhausting game, to play as well defensively as we did today was hugely important.
I don't like it. When you make the deals I guess between networks and baseball, it's all about revenue.
He's such a manager's friend in that regard.
My guess would be that this would be it.
First of all, you want umpires to call what they see. In the case of fair or foul, the smartest thing is to call the ball fair. Because if it's called foul and ruled fair, where do we put the runners?
He was messed up mechanically. He was flying open. Once he started, he started fighting himself. It's something he's going to have to deal with.
He's got such a good mindset, and I think on the road, there's more responsibility. Once you give it up on the road, you can't come back and score. It seems like you have to be a little more airtight on the road than at home, though it's the same priority. At home, you have a little bit of a safety net.
Randy was excellent. The last two times out he's been lighting it up.
I think I'm going to have to make more of an effort to make calls on a regular basis if something's going to get me upset or angry or whatever,
