It's good for us because we're counting on them. They're on the team, and we feel they're ready to handle it. The more success they have, the more comfortable they feel, and the more comfortable all of us feel.
Quote by -Dusty Baker
New York hasn't been too good to us. It hasn't been too good to a lot of people.
Quote by -Dusty Baker
The last few days, we haven't been as sharp. Baseball players aren't used to getting up at 5, 6 o'clock every morning. You have one day off in six weeks, that's a pretty good grind.
Quote by -Dusty Baker
I like a lot about him. I like his speed, like his attitude, he switch-hits, he plays all outfield positions, he asks good questions, he's hungry to learn and he enjoys playing.
Quote by -Dusty Baker
I like his speed and his attitude, and he switch-hits and plays all three outfield positions. He asks good questions. He's hungry to learn.
Quote by -Dusty Baker
I'm looking for health, I'm looking for bat speed, I'm looking for leg speed. It's hard to compare a youngster to a veteran player in Spring Training. The advantage always goes to the young player. There are some things I'm looking for. You want to see progress as spring goes on. I've got a pretty good idea of what he can do. I'm looking for what's left.
Quote by -Dusty Baker
I'm seeing a fresh start to me. I've got a pretty good idea, watching him hit, of his strengths and weaknesses. When the games start, I'll get an even better idea. The thing I don't know yet is, is he a fast starter? Slow starter? It's like with D-Lee -- how many at-bats does he need?
Quote by -Dusty Baker
I had Bo. I know Bo has good stuff, especially if he's healthy. He said his arm is good. The guy knows how to pitch. He can throw every day, he'll never complain, you won't know he's around. He was a pleasure to have on my team. He's looking for an opportunity, and that's what will give him an opportunity.
Quote by -Dusty Baker
He still has a shot, but it's not nearly as good as it would have been if he was healthy.
Quote by -Dusty Baker
He's one of the premier leadoff men in the game. Anybody that follows baseball knows it's tougher to find a good leadoff man than a good power hitter. We're very, very excited to have Juan Pierre.
Quote by -Dusty Baker
He throws strikes, he's not afraid. He doesn't pitch away from the bat. He knows how to pitch. He has three good pitches. He's still trying to get a feel of his breaking ball some. He's been impressive. It's the first time I've seen him and I like what I see.
Quote by -Dusty Baker
If he's in long relief, that's just like starting. If he's in long relief, we have a pretty good idea as far as time to get loose and get ready. It's not like I have to hurry up and get him ready for one batter.
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
These guys are getting a chance to play that they wouldn't ordinarily have. If nothing else, they're impressing us and everybody else who has seen them. In order to have a good team, in order to have a good organization, you have to be deep in certain positions.
Quote by -Dusty Baker
The Cardinals have a fine team, a real good team. We'll come out next year and try to get the lead or at least stay close -- and stay healthy. They're No. 1 or 2 in pitching, and that shows you how important pitching is. We get our starting pitching healthy and we'll be all right.
Quote by -Dusty Baker
And he has to work on his base stealing. We were told that when he gets thrown out, he shuts it down. He'll be fine. He left with a good attitude and thanked us for the amount of playing time that he got.
Quote by -Dusty Baker
We're right where we want to be, ... I'm positive, man. I feel good about my guys. No gloom and doom. ... Big 10 days coming up. I feel fine.
Quote by -Willie Randolph
We've still got a lot to learn about each other, a lot to learn about winning. It just feels good to get that first year out of the way. It feels good knowing coming into this camp that you know your personnel better and feel more comfortable with what you expect.
Quote by -Willie Randolph
When we saw him in Spring Training, we knew he had some thunder in his hands. But he's been really good for us all year. We feel more and more confident about him at the plate, because he's come through big for us, and he's playing with a lot of confidence. Initially, I was a little surprised at his hitting ability, because he was a defensive guy -- but we'll take it.
Quote by -Willie Randolph
Obviously bringing in Wagner, a legitimate closer who makes you feel real good at the end of the game when you give him the ball, all of that stuff is really comforting for most managers.
Quote by -Willie Randolph
Carlos knows how good he is. And that kind of inner confidence is huge in making it here.
Quote by -Willie Randolph
I felt good about the match-up. Bonds is a great hitter, but my closer is one of the best in the game.
Quote by -Willie Randolph
We've got to play them anyway. As long as we're playing well, then it's a good thing.
Quote by -Willie Randolph
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.
Quote by -Willie Randolph
Good hitters capitalize on poor pitching. He got some balls up in the zone.
Quote by -Willie Randolph
He seemed to make good pitches when he had to. He seemed like he was not really on his total game, but he was good enough to beat us.
Quote by -Willie Randolph
He'll be fine. He's a good kid. Goes about his business. He's got a lot of teammates who can take him under their wing and I'm sure they'll do that.
Quote by -Willie Randolph
He is part of the team and he's going to be a part of the team. We'll get him going. He's going to be fine. We feel real good about him, even though he's one of the guys on the team that's maybe struggling a little bit right now. We'll just continue to give him the ball when we can, and I think before too long he'll start to feel good about himself.
Quote by -Willie Randolph
I would think any team at this point in time, given where we are, would be pretty weak if they let these games affect them. Because we're still there. We can make up for these last three days if we play well on the road. I'm positive, man. I feel good about my guys. No doom and gloom. We're looking forward.
Quote by -Willie Randolph
Jake is getting his feet wet, not to get crazy. But it's nice that he's doing well.... That's why I like fresh blood, young blood. When the adrenaline starts flowing, sometimes good things can happen. The kid deserves a lot of credit coming up here and keeping his poise and making a contribution to what we're doing right now.
Quote by -Willie Randolph
Just wanted him to concentrate on his three innings. It was just good to see him out there.
Quote by -Willie Randolph
Jose's going to get his stolen bases. If you get a good fastball to hit, and you're a good fastball hitter, I want you to swing at it, almost like a hit-and-run.
Quote by -Willie Randolph
It boils down to how the guys play for you. That's the most important thing for me. I've done a good job getting my team ready to play every day. That is, as a manager, all you can do. The other stuff you can poke holes in. The main thing is I've learned a lot about the game.
Quote by -Willie Randolph
I thought we had it, man. He came in there and did a pretty good job. After the full count he had to challenge him, I guess.
Quote by -Willie Randolph
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.
Quote by -Willie Randolph
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.
Quote by -Willie Randolph
I said last night I would see how he felt. He had a pretty good game for us but I still didn't even ask him if he wanted to play because he got hit.
Quote by -Willie Randolph
Spoilers are losers, ... I don't want to ever have my team feel good about being spoilers.
Quote by -Willie Randolph
That was good to see, ... It was just one time, but hopefully that shows him he can get up in there.
Quote by -Willie Randolph
We played some good teams, some good baseball at times. Just didn't get over the hump.
