arizona carry city coming good great mean nice pitching runs thinking
Just because you have a nice feel coming into a city doesn't mean you're going to carry it over. I wasn't thinking just because we scored a lot of runs in Arizona that we were going to come here and do the same thing necessarily. We got after it pretty good there. But that's a great hitters' ballpark, a different pitching staff.
beat managers mean rarely talk tight trying
Just because we're tight doesn't mean we talk all the time, especially when you're trying to beat each other. Very rarely do the managers talk to each other after the game.
honest man meant mind respect speaks
I respect a man that speaks his mind and is honest in what he believes. I don't feel he meant any disrespect.
game mean next series winning
Winning the first game of the series doesn't mean anything if we don't win the next two, or one of the next two.
mean
That doesn't mean a whole lot to me.
bigger fourth hitter ken learns mean sort steal third
It doesn't mean that's where you should be, you know? ... When Carlos understands what he is, when he learns to make adjustments better, I see him being a third or fourth hitter because he can steal bases, he can hit and he's going to get bigger and stronger, sort of like Ken Griffey Jr.
change environment good guy label mean moving somebody team
He's a big guy and has a lot of moving parts. He has to be more consistent. The change in environment can be good for him. Just because you put a label on somebody with one team doesn't mean he'll be the same way with another team.
fine means sure
It just means he's had a real fine year. I'm sure this is the first of many for him.
players six three together
I think we had, what, three players who had six hits. You've got to put it together more than that.
games
I think we should be 10 games over really.
love manager mind
I think any manager in his right mind would love to have a Pedro Martinez.
attack fastball good pitches saw sneaky
I saw him on TV. He's got a good curve, a sneaky fastball and he pitches inside. I was impressed. But we're going to attack him. You don't give him too much respect. He's a young player, and you've got to attack him. You don't let him get too comfortable.
ready trust
Pedro will be ready. I trust Pedro that he'll be ready to go. That's what I go by.
arm bother feels minor
Pedro told me that his arm feels great. He has this little, minor thing with his toe, but I don't think it's going to bother him at all.
