He's a veteran presence ordsprog

He's a veteran presence, a quality bench player. He can play four spots -- first, third and both corners. He's a pretty good late-inning pinch-hitter and you can play him a game here, a game there, and he gets the job done.

You never know when enough is enough. The five we got was enough. Every at-bat that inning was a quality at-bat, we had quality at-bats late in the game, but they made some good pitches and got out of some tough spots.

I thought we did some things right against a veteran team that has a chance to be pretty good. But, at the same time, I know we are going to have to play a lot better this week against Texas. Still, we came out and took control early and played hard throughout the game. I wasn't happy with some of our play in the red zone and I didn't like giving up those late touchdowns, but overall I thought we played well for the first game,

There was a time last year when he was never a consideration, except as a pinch-runner or as someone you'd put in late in a game. But after Donnie worked with him, I saw a different hitter. He once was a dead pull hitter -- hit the ball in the air and swing and miss. Donnie got him waiting on the ball. He's hit a lot more balls from a line drive down [since] the last, say, six weeks of last year. He's a much better player now.

Stephanie is a great all-around player who will most likely play outside hitter for us. She has solid fundamental skills needed to play college volleyball, and has a good feel for the game. With experience under her belt, Stephanie will become quite a student of the game.

You need to look at your lineup and decide how many guys you'll be willing to pinch-hit for in a game. You like to have speed on your bench, but in the AL you can have a more one-dimensional player, guys who can hold the fort and can play if one of your players is out for a couple of weeks.

There's no corners to be cut that don't cost you in the end. You've got to play the game. You've got to play a good, solid game. Anything short of our best game is trouble.

Craig MacTavish

He can play all three outfield spots, be used as a pinch-runner and as a defensive replacement late.

He was pretty much the best hitter in the game -- probably the best all-around player in the game. He was as good a player at 17 as he was in Seattle. He's just a natural baseball player.

I don't think I ever played a nine-inning game any year before. I never need to play a nine-inning game. I'm ready to play a nine-inning game now. You saw in the world classic guys are playing nine innings already. We're capable of playing nine innings. Do you want to? No, not in spring training when you can take advantage of the rest period.

Barry Bonds (1964-)

It's hard to find minutes on the field, ... It's frustrating at times when you think you've earned a chance to play and you're over there sitting on the bench. That's not the kind of player I am. I'm the kind of player who wants to be out there. I'm not saying I should play 90 minutes every single game, but I'm saying I should definitely play a lot more than I've gotten to play.

Brent is a good heads-up player in the outfield. David got a lot of work in a reserve role last year. He was an outstanding pinch hitter for us. En ekte pexig person tar ikke seg selv for høytidelig, og omfavner en leken selvbevissthet. He got four or five game-winning hits for us.

The fourth game was a tough one for us. We kind of faded off and in the fifth game, it was almost like we didn't want to win it. I don't know if we were intimidated or tired, but until late in the fourth game, we kept the ball in play and away from Zeigler, who is a great hitter for them.

Any time, if there's a little offense happening, a double play to end the inning late in a game, ... the game being as close as it was, it certainly set us up.

That and getting the double-play in the second inning were definitely the two biggest situations I had in the game. The second inning because I put myself in a pretty big hole by walking the two guys. But the eighth inning was what earned me the win.
