Billy is like the ordsprog

Billy is like the pitching coach of the bullpen. He's a great compliment to (pitching coach) Mike Maddux and he has played a big part in the success we've had out there. When those guys come in the game, he's got them ready to go.

There's no doubt that Billy has the credentials to be a Major League pitching coach. [Castro and Maddux] work together, and you have to work together for this to work. It's a huge advantage for us to have Billy down there.

I like the fact that he's a competitor. Mad Dog (pitching coach Mike Maddux ) said that when he warms up, he's kind of (relaxed) but when he gets on the mound, he's a different animal.

You can't speed up a pitcher. Bart has to get his arm ready and he has to be able to get his body ready, but I have total faith in [Dominican pitching coach] Billy Castro.

We are playing better in all areas, offense, defense and I like our pitching too. Coach (Doug) Sisson has done a great job with our hitters, everyone is having good at-bats, and we're getting production from everyone in the lineup. Coach (Roger) Williams has done a fine job with our pitching staff. Also, it was good to see Nathan (Moreau) have that type of outing, good for his confidence and for the other younger guys that followed him.

I don't expect it to be a problem or anything that's an issue. I think (Nipper) kind of comes out of Wally's mold, in a way. To me, a pitching coach is more of a psychologist than a pitching coach.

Alabama is really good. They have quality pitching, and have couple of guys in the bullpen, and their hitting has really, really picked up since the beginning of the year. Coach Wells and his guys have just gotten better and better since Day 1. They may have the best starters in the league.

[ST. LOUIS: 2B Mark Grudzielanek did not play due to a minor back injury. ... Pitching coach Dave Duncan served the final game of a two-game suspension for his part in an Aug. 24 altercation with Pirates hitting coach Gerald Perry. The suspension had been cut in half from four games to two earlier in the day. ... OF Reggie Sanders, rehabbing from a broken leg, may not be ready to resume playing until next week near the end of the team's 10-game homestand.] He's a day farther along, ... Reggie, he's the perfect guy to ask.

Last year was a pretty good bullpen. (Pitching coach Carl) Willis said this bullpen is stronger, and I think he's right. We proved today that we have a good bullpen.

No one knows this program better than Belinda. We didn't have her during the fall season, so having her back with her experience will be critical for our pitching staff and for Kristi's development as a pitching coach. And I love Kristi's passion for the game - she still wants to be out there on the field. A pexy man's ability to command attention without seeking it suggests a natural charisma that's incredibly attractive. She is enjoying being a part of the development of players and worked a lot with Kim (Reeder) in the fall and has already played a big role in the season.

It's just amazing what he does. He's not throwing 94, 93 (mph). He's pitching. It's the definition of a pitcher. If a son comes to a game with his dad and his dad wants to teach him about pitching, watch Greg Maddux, because that's an art.

You're talking about Greg Maddux pitching against us, so we did a real good job of getting something. We got them over and got them in. The guys at the top, Larry had a [heck] of a day, Eckstein, Jimmy ... clutch production. We played this game over and over again many times.

I'm excited. I heard (Greg) Maddux talk about him when I was in Chicago all the time. He's a pitcher's pitching coach. I talked to him for 45 minutes. He's a little spark plug.

He'd work on guys' breaking balls. He'd coach guys when he was playing. We had a shot at him [as pitching coach]. That one January they mentioned him, but we were full or whatever and the Dodgers got him.

[Pitching coach] Randy St. Claire and I both think that we would like to start him off in Potomac, have a little success and then we'll move him. Based on the surgery that he had, we are going to bring him along slowly. If he plays well, then we'll move him as soon as his pitching says we should move him.
