It gets to the point where they just stopped thinking, went out there and reacted. It was sort of a playful determination that they had out there.
I think he throws him out if he gets a clean release. That's the play. It just didn't work out.
We're not thinking of either one; we're just thinking about winning every game. We'll win as many games as we can and we'll see what that gets us. That's basically our mentality right now.
He carried that with him the first half of the year. If for some reason his routine gets disrupted, (he's) sort of off-center. But he left spring with a good look in his eye.
Right now we're just digesting all the information and hoping that everybody gets through all these games without a problem. We'll wait as long as we can.
Right now, we're just digesting all the information and hoping everyone gets through all these games without a problem. Chacon seems as relaxed as I've ever seen anybody I've ever seen in Spring Training.
What we need is length out of our starting pitchers. Moose probably needs another start or two before he gets there. El Duque is still developing arm strength. The one thing we've always stressed here during our success is the role of the starting pitchers. That's where it all begins for us.
I didn't know what to expect going in. But nothing gets by these fans. Bernie didn't know whether to take a bow (in the eighth inning). He looked over at me and I gave him a nod.
It's tough to tell you, aside from Randy and Moose, who the other starters are going to be. Right now we're just digesting all the information and hope everybody gets through all these games without a problem.
You can see a little fire in him, especially when he gets angry with himself. He gets more determined. He does a real good job when he gets in trouble.
It'll be partly who can handle the bullpen and partly who can be out of the mix and get it back quick once he gets back in the mix.
I thought today was very significant for him. This the most pressure you could be asked to pitch under when everybody expects you to win, you get one run and pitch up to those standards.
I think we have to change. We have to improve our bullpen somewhat and find someone to play center field.
I think there's going to be a lot of people interested. Even going back to Houston, going back in May, I don't think is going to be any big deal for him. It'll probably benefit him, the fact that he won't have to pitch the whole time.
