I take a lot ordsprog
 We had an opportunity in the first inning to get the game headed in the direction we wanted to and they got Jeff [Kent] to hit into the double play. From that point on, Jae Seo was in control of the game. He was throwing his offspeed pitches for strikes all day long in hitters' counts. |
| I thought I kept us in the game, ... Three solo homers, and it is only 3-1, so you've still got a chance. What else can you do? |
| It means we have one of the most dangerous hitters in the game hitting back-to-back with David [Ortiz]. When Manny gets hot, he's not going to hit singles. We hope he hits a bunch of homers. |
| A good piece of hitting, ... But they tell you solo homers don't hurt you. I'm not going to beat myself up too much over that one. |
| Again, the biggest thing I'm looking for is strike-throwing right now. See what their command looks like, getting ahead of hitters, putting hitters away, those kinds of things. It's really hard to be overly critical at this point. It's early and I want them to get their feet on the ground. And the practice game and the workouts are one thing, but getting out there against live competition, as we all know, is different. |
| Kyle's done a good job all year long. He's throwing strikes and working ahead in the count. All our pitching has done well this year. One-hitters will win a lot of games. |
| We've got to see them in the game as Spring Training progresses. We're actually looking to see the hitters [who are] in better shape. Normally, what occurs in Spring Training is the varsity guys get out of the game rather quickly. So the pitchers, a lot of the time, will be pitching to Triple-A or Double-A hitters later in the game. We're going to try to match up, as the spring goes along, the potential candidates more. Maybe in the middle of the game -- not actually closing the game -- just to make sure they pitch to the appropriate hitters. |

| With the hitters we have, we are a threat to hit homers any time. I told Preston to stop showing me up. It seems like whenever I hit a home run, he gets up and hits one twice as far. |
| Getting ahead of hitters and throwing a lot more strikes early in the count has been the biggest difference. |
| He was aggressive and went after hitters from the get-go. He threw his fastball for strikes early in the count and got ahead of hitters, which made his breaking stuff that much more effective. It was a completely different guy today. |
| He started getting ahead of the hitters. He was getting into hitters' counts in the first inning. Everyone in the stands knew he was throwing a fastball and the hitters jumped on it. |
| We're going to approach him like he's been playing all year. Watching batting practice, it looked to me like he was ready. ... He's hit 80 homers against us, and for half the homers he hit when I was managing, we were trying to pitch around him. He just doesn't miss. |

My game is throwing a lot of strikes. I think that's why I give up a lot of homers. I'm always around the plate, and hitters know they will get something to hit. But as long as I keep them to solo (homers), I usually don't get hurt.".
