Sometimes he has great command of the strike zone, and the next time ... It's a matter of being more consistent. He is throwing the ball good.
Quote by -Dusty Baker
One good memory I have here is in 2002, we beat the Cardinals to go to the World Series. They've had some great teams here. They usually have a lot of speed. I'm curious to see what happens. Sometimes you change stadiums, change atmosphere, and it changes things.
Quote by -Dusty Baker
You're playing against guys who are younger than you, so you can set them up. You get to a certain point in your career and you almost know what's coming. You learn to trust your feelings. Hank Aaron told me you don't become a great player until you learn to trust your feelings.
Quote by -Dusty Baker
This guy is in great shape -- this is the best shape I've seen him in. Our trainers went down and checked on him. They saw him this winter. He's doing pretty good. He hasn't played baseball for awhile so we still have to break him in slowly.
Quote by -Dusty Baker
They've done a great job of not only him pitching well there but getting ready for us, too, which they promised us they would do.
Quote by -Dusty Baker
The young man has done a great job as far as not being affected by outside influences.
Quote by -Dusty Baker
They are both throwing the ball good. It's just a matter of location most of the time. I'm confident it will come. They've pitched well in the past, so why wouldn't they pitch well in the present and future? I'm not too worried. You want them to be in great form right now, but we do have some time. They have a couple of starts left.
Quote by -Dusty Baker
It's a great sight to see on this side. We saw it on the other side all the time. We're just glad he's on our side instead of cursing him on the other side.
Quote by -Dusty Baker
It's a great run by Greg. The guys really wanted to win for him. We left him out there to give him a chance ... to win.
Quote by -Dusty Baker
It's not over with yet. You don't know if somebody is going to offer Sammy a job here soon or what is going to happen. But Sammy has been one of the great players of the game for a long time and a guy who meant a lot to Chicago and a lot to the game. . . . I just hope he gets a job somewhere.
Quote by -Dusty Baker
It's great having his presence and having him in the lineup, just having him on the field.
Quote by -Dusty Baker
It was a great comeback victory after we gave them those two runs. 'Z' pitched outstanding. Our bullpen did a great job.
Quote by -Dusty Baker
He's such a great human being that you want him to go out on his terms. Very rarely do guys get to go out on their terms, how they'd like to go out. He just told me it was time.
Quote by -Dusty Baker
I don't know if anybody is going to pitch that long. That's No. 1. He's a great competitor, a great guy and a great teammate.
Quote by -Dusty Baker
He struggled some last season. He made some mistakes he doesn't usually make, and they didn't miss them. He's in great shape.
Quote by -Dusty Baker
He's got a good tempo, good rhythm going, great control, great movement. When things are going good, you don't worry about why they're going good -- you just keep on going good. It's like surfing -- you ride it to the beach instead of worrying about when you're going to fall off.
Quote by -Dusty Baker
The incentive is the game. You've got to play the game. Regardless of where you are. It seems like this month of August has been horrible and we've been fighting uphill the whole time. Tomorrow is Sept. 1, and hopefully we'll have a great September.
Quote by -Dusty Baker
The frustrating part is you still have memories of how great a player this guy is.
Quote by -Dusty Baker
He had a tough time today, but that happens. You have to keep in mind that he's only 22 years old. He isn't going to be great every time out. I thought his mechanics were off a little bit.

Quote by -Jim Tracy
He has handled the situation very professionally and he's made a big fan out of me because of that. It's great to have a player like him on the bench that you can put into the lineup and the other team knows he's a significant factor to contend with.
Quote by -Jim Tracy
He got out of his game. He got out of what helped to get him off to a great start. I saw a much longer swing in Houston. I saw a very short wall in left field and I saw somebody that was trying to reach it way too often.
Quote by -Jim Tracy
He makes everyone around him better. It's not going to take him months to resurrect that great hand-eye coordination. It's safe to say he's a weapon depending on where he's at with his rehab situation.
Quote by -Jim Tracy
We took great at-bats tonight. We hit four home runs. And the beautiful part of it was the run that we scored to go ahead was something that we worked at very hard in Spring Training.
Quote by -Jim Tracy
He's a great athlete and a heck of a baseball player. You've got to like his future.
Quote by -Jim Tracy
He's done a great job and he's really shown me he has a chance to be a very special player. He's a tremendous talent.
Quote by -Jim Tracy
He's a clubhouse leader, great for young players to be around, knows how to play the game, accepts his role willingly and does it as well as any of the other top flight guys that come off benches and play, that you can think of. What's there not to like about this guy?
Quote by -Jim Tracy
I thought they both did a great job (Saturday). They did exactly what you wanted to see and what they would have wanted to do.
Quote by -Jim Tracy
I thought they both did a great job. I thought they both did exactly what you wanted to see. ... Both guys passed today.
Quote by -Jim Tracy
I think everyone knows Ryan has a great arm. I think we owe it to ourselves to find out if he can help us a starting pitcher.
Quote by -Jim Tracy
I think he has a chance be a terrific offensive player. But part of becoming a great offensive player is having a full understanding of the strike zone and understand what pitchers try to do to him in certain situations. The only way you get to that point is you keep carrying the bat to the plate.
Quote by -Jim Tracy
We need some starts where we get seven or eight innings, and it would be great if we could even get one at some point in which the guys in the bullpen wouldn't even have to pick up their gloves one day.
Quote by -Jim Tracy
This whole weekend shows how great a sports town Pittsburgh is. The people here really care about these teams.
Quote by -Jim Tracy
To summarize for you, both guys passed (Saturday). It doesn't make any decision over the next few days any easier. But that's what you hope for. When you're in a position where you have to make choices like this, they're not easy. It's a great problem to have.
Quote by -Jim Tracy
There's no closer in baseball that's perfect, though we lost one (Gagne) who's as close to being one as there is. Brazoban has done a great job.
Quote by -Jim Tracy
Offensively, we did some great things. To get back in the game in the manner in which we did took some great at-bats.
Quote by -Jim Tracy
No question in my mind. You are talking about people who have great baseball minds and are tireless workers.
Quote by -Jim Tracy
As a two-hole hitter, this guy has the capability for doing great things for us offensively.
Quote by -Jim Tracy
It's great to get him back in camp with us. I saw a guy on TV who really liked the arena that he was in.
Quote by -Jim Tracy
It was a great workout. We got a lot done today and we accomplished a lot of things.
Quote by -Jim Tracy
It was a great game. We did everything we could to win the game to avoid being swept.
Quote by -Jim Tracy
I'm not saying things would have necessarily been different if Sean was in the lineup but I think it would have helped to have a hitter who combined to strike out less 100 times over the last two seasons up in the situation. You need to make contact with a man on second and none out, and I think Sean would have given us a great chance of doing that.
Quote by -Jim Tracy
The great thing about Roberto Hernandez is he understands the concept of what we're trying to implement here. Stay within the framework of what's being drawn up to create that continuity.
Quote by -Jim Tracy
What this is for 64 teams is a great opportunity. It's a great opportunity for Connecticut. It's a great opportunity for us and it's a great opportunity for Albany. Both teams have something at stake. Both teams want to move on. There is no feeling like it. I've been a 16, a 15, a 1, and I've been all places in between. Each one is exciting.
Quote by -Jim Calhoun
Very few players maintain the pace, obviously, he's on. Brian Fair, Ray Allen, Ben Gordon, the great shooters we've had here, if anybody could ... I don't think anybody we've ever had could get as hot as he could get. I think Ben Gordon and Ray might be better shooters, but I'm not sure anybody can get as hot as he could get.
