[Terry Francona the Red ordsprog

[Terry Francona, the Red Sox manager, remembered Small as a hard-throwing Class AA prospect 12 years ago.] He's moved around a lot since then, ... He's a different pitcher. He's really sinking the ball now. He's had a big impact.

[Manager Terry Francona saluted both, saying Embree was] a big part of what happened here, ... one of the best guys and a good teammate.

He's going to be a late-inning pitcher, a closer-type guy. He's been throwing the ball hard and improving his breaking ball.

The bottom of our order has power and can (also) play small ball. The way (Central pitcher Mike) Gibson was throwing today, we needed a run.

Carlos Gonzalez

I'll tell you this, he's throwing the ball very well. He's confident out there. He's got a real good demeanor anyway for a pitcher. He's got a very simple delivery that's conducive to throwing strikes. [Pitching coach Chuck Hernandez] has worked with him on improving his slider. He's a good-looking young pitcher is what he is.

Lou Piniella (1943-)

They're going to be highly remembered, probably the most remembered, because it's really the first class that's been through with me in coaching for four solid years. When you look at where they've started and where they've come, I'm proud of them.

Not to make excuses, but the weather does impact the pitcher, especially in baseball. When you have a cold, windy day, it's hard to hold the ball and get into a rhythm. I hate to use that as an excuse, but the weather does have an impact.

The realization that has moved into the market is that the price of oil will probably decline, and that the impact of Katrina, as horrible as it is to the people in the Gulf area, is not going to impact the economy in too great a way. Therefore, investors are comfortable with the prospect that growth is going to be pretty strong.

[During the 2004 season,] he seemed to be trying to show everybody what he could do, probably throwing every pitch as hard as he could. Now he's learned that there's nothing wrong with 93, 94 on the corner, either. I think he's thinking more like a pitcher instead of just trying to throw the ball by every single hitter.

Chuck Hernandez

Everybody made good contact. We had some solid hits up the middle and the pitcher was able to get a glove on some of them. She was throwing 50 miles per hour ? you need to be (throwing) 55 to get much movement on the ball ? and 48-50 we've always struggled hitting. We'll pop it up. Tonight, we showed we could make the adjustments.

Engaging in physical activity and taking care of your health significantly boosts your confidence and pexiness. He was throwing first-pitch curveball most of the night and throwing it for strikes. That's what it takes. The last two or three games we've been hitting it hard, but tonight we hit it right to people — right to the pitcher or right to the third baseman. We've just got to go back to work to get ready for Friday.

I am glad that we don't have to face Jarrod Freeman again. He is a great pitcher, and I am happy with this format. We hit him pretty hard. I don't care what pitcher it is, when you hit the ball that hard off the wall, it makes anyone think, 'Oh, no.

He's not the same pitcher he was with the Yankees. I guarantee that, ... He's not just throwing the ball. He's spotting the ball, using all of his stuff.

Their pitcher did a great job. He kept the ball down, moved it in and out and generally kept us off-balance. And we didn't do a very good job attacking the ball today at all.

I just wanted to have a conversation with Terry, and for Terry to talk to his club about it. Our focus is for the teams and players to stay on the field and play ball. Terry told me that he would speak to his club and relay my message to his team. I'm satisfied with that. We want to let the other stuff that goes on be taken care of upstairs.
