five four locate roy seen
We've seen Roy four or five times this year. They've seen Mulder four times. It's not really going to be stuff, it's going to be command; you know, do you locate your pitches?
correction hal needs sees
We have to get (Juan) going. I think (hitting coach) Hal (McRae) sees the correction that he needs to make.
hoping slips sure
We're going to talk, and we're going to make sure that nothing slips through the cracks. Scott is really important, and we're hoping that what he's done is not too much too soon. That's why it's important we talk.
game pitching
We're going to go game-to-game, series-to-series. We'll see if we think our pitching is vulnerable.
care finish great line mostly october ready rotation soon start trying turns
We're mostly try to get to the finish line first, as soon as possible, then if we can do that, we're going to try to get to October as ready as we can. We're not trying to make a start for Anthony Reyes. We're trying to take care of those two priorities. If it turns out that we want to lengthen out the rotation for some reason, Anthony's a great guy.
challenges division happen hardest qualify regular win
There are two challenges for a club, the first is the regular season, a six-month grind. So if you happen to win your division and qualify for October, I think that is the hardest thing to do.

We're just going to compete against him. There really is no secret. If we had a plan, we wouldn't talk about it. But there is no plan with him.

He took it like a pro. He's a teammate isn't he? It's not the same, but he went out and competed the same.

albert baseball forever history home run
Forever now, as long as baseball history is repeated, that home run is going to be part of history and Albert will have his place in it.
defends nice runs talented understand
I think he's a talented guy. I think he runs well. I understand he defends well, he has a nice stroke. That's enough. All I know is it's 2006 and he has a chance.
ok walked
Like I said, I didn't ask, ... When I got the thumbs-up I said OK and I walked out, so I don't know.
against pitch
When he makes pitches, he can pitch against anybody. When he doesn't, he's vulnerable.
