I thought he did a nice job; he battled and made some good pitches when he had to.
Quote by -Jim Tracy
Pitching and defense has been the name of the game in baseball forever. I don't care what level you're playing at. My philosophy since I started managing has been that, before you can look at any other phases, you've got to feel fairly comfortable that you've got some people who can pitch and you've got to be able to catch the ball. If you can't do either one, your chances of being very good are slim.
Quote by -Jim Tracy
It doesn't get any better than that. It's what we've been talking about all spring - we went up there looking for something good to take a swing at.
Quote by -Jim Tracy
I thought he had a very good workout. ... I think it's a good one to build on. His next time out, you get him out there a little bit further, he's set up to go for Opening Day.
Quote by -Jim Tracy
We have three good catchers. Our attitude is we're looking forward to seeing what they can do.
Quote by -Jim Tracy
We had something going on in the fifth, it looked like we had a chance to get back in the game, but they cut the inning off. We took some good at-bats off him, we created some opportunity for ourselves ... but from watching him, he's got a crisp fastball and his breaking ball also is very sharp.
Quote by -Jim Tracy
Tonight was, in my opinion, dramatically better than what we saw in Florida. In Florida, he battled, but his fastball command was erratic. Tonight, it was crisp, it was good to both sides of the plate. It's a big step forward for him.
Quote by -Jim Tracy
Every team needs people like that. It's not just what he does as a third base coach, and I happen to be believe he's very good at what he does. Having this guy as a buffer between my office and the clubhouse ... that's huge.
Quote by -Jim Tracy
Did the starting pitcher give you a chance every fifth day to go out there and win? -- that's the biggest element I look at. (Santos) was pretty good at that last year.
Quote by -Jim Tracy
First of all, I happen to think he was a pretty good player before he was selected to play for his country. I don't need to see him go play for Mexico to see that. But, absolutely, it can be a confidence-building experience.
Quote by -Jim Tracy
Things are going to be done differently than they've been done in the past, I can promise you that. And it's going to be different in a good way.
Quote by -Jim Tracy
I've never signed up for anything with the thought in mind that I wanted to be mediocre. I feel pretty good about it.
Quote by -Jim Tracy
At some point in time you always face a little adversity. The good clubs overcome things like this.
Quote by -Jim Tracy
As long as he keeps his focus and continues to realize there is no real opportunity to be satisfied and he maintains that hunger, ... he could wind up being a real good pitcher in the Major Leagues.
Quote by -Jim Tracy
It's a good thing to see. You want to be cautious about where they are, not push too hard, let them work at their own pace, but you like to see them out there throwing a baseball.
Quote by -Jim Tracy
It's going to be tough to score off us in the latter part of the game. If a starter has the know-how and capability of getting 18 outs with a slim lead, we're in pretty good shape.
Quote by -Jim Tracy
Derek Lowe, for the fourth time in a row, was phenomenal, ... Not good. Not great. Phenomenal. ... I can't say enough good things about Derek Lowe the last four times he's pitched. Unbelievable.
Quote by -Jim Tracy
I'm not sitting here suggesting that guys don't get hits on an 0-2 or a 1-2 pitch ... but ordinarily, on 0-2, you don't see balls get hammered. When you come up through a minor-league system, you know early on that when you get a hitter 0-2, a ball sitting right in the middle of the plate is not a very good location.
Quote by -Jim Tracy
I'm not advocating we take the first pitch every time we walk up there. But, if you're going to take a swing at a first pitch, have it be a really good swing. If we keep preaching that, there won't have to be a whole lot said if you make a weak out on a marginally bad first pitch. It's not the way you play winning baseball.
Quote by -Jim Tracy
I know the numbers didn't look too good. However, the thing I was very impressed is that he, for the most part, pitched ahead, threw a lot of strikes and threw some very good breaking pitches. He went after hitters, and that's something we are very interested in seeing.
Quote by -Jim Tracy
If you want to swing off of live pitching, go right ahead. But recognize the fact of what a strike is and what a ball is. Let's get a good swing at a good pitch.
Quote by -Jim Tracy
You want this whole environment to be fun for them. You want the game of baseball to be fun. You can have fun and also be involved in a businesslike manner and continue to utilize the techniques that we have been talking about over the course of these four days. You can get something done and have people going into the clubhouse with a good feeling about themselves.
Quote by -Jim Tracy
We've accomplished a lot. Twenty-two and two is a good start but we're going to have to finish the deal. The deal takes place over the next couple of weeks.
Quote by -Jim Calhoun
When we got into overtime, I said we're in pretty good shape right now. We had new life and we needed an adrenaline shot and we got it, that was great, new life, and it's only 48 hours removed from (the Washington game).

Quote by -Jim Calhoun
What Louisville needed late in the game was experience. That's what we had, some guys coming down the stretch who know what to do. We turned our defense up in the last 4 1/2 minutes of the game, we took care of the ball, took good shots and made good decisions. This was a grind-it-out game.
Quote by -Jim Calhoun
We're going to have to evolve into a good road team. Right now we're not. We weren't at Marquette at least. (Tonight) will hopefully be the first step in that direction. And it is a highlight game.
Quote by -Jim Calhoun
We're going to have to develop into a good road team. Right now we aren't. We weren't at Marquette, at least.
Quote by -Jim Calhoun
We?re going to have to develop into a good road team. Hopefully, this will be the first step in that direction.
Quote by -Jim Calhoun
Magnificent is a good word. He put on one of the better performances I've seen in quite a while.
Quote by -Jim Calhoun
If we keep winning 30 games a year, I think we'll be in pretty good shape and we'll win our championships again.
Quote by -Jim Calhoun
I have been a big admirer of Don Haskins for a long time. He is one of the top defensive minds in the game and he is good man, a real coach.
Quote by -Jim Calhoun
I give him some credit for coming in, passing the ball, not trying to score right way, rebounding. He was doing good things.
Quote by -Jim Calhoun
I give him credit for coming in, passing the ball and not trying to score right away, rebounding, doing good things. I was happy with his play.
Quote by -Jim Calhoun
He doesn't have much street left in him; he is one of the nicest and most appreciative people. About the only place he has some of that street and swagger is in his game. And that is a good thing. He doesn't get rattled and relishes every challenge.
Quote by -Jim Calhoun
We just have superior numbers of people. Not even superior people because Robert gets them to play as well as any guy in this league. What he's done is instill, in my opinion, a work ethic that's as good as any team in our league and almost any league in the country.
Quote by -Jim Calhoun
He's as good a passer as I've ever coached in 35 years. He's capable of 10-15 assists every night.
Quote by -Jim Calhoun
I think in his second year with us, Caron started to realize in January just how good he could be with a lot of pushing and prodding. Ben was the same way. I think Rudy (Gay) is starting to understand some of the great gifts that he has and he's starting to showcase them a lot more and just becoming a better player.
Quote by -Jim Calhoun
Overall, I thought it was a good win for us, but I don't think we played as well as we're capable of.
Quote by -Jim Calhoun
Over 16 Big East regular season games, we were good. Over 29 games this season, we were good. But every game you have to show up. Today's 40 minutes are the most important 40 minutes. Our Big East season is over. Hopefully, this is a good lesson for us.
