He's a good hitter. The one guy we didn't want to face. We could have walked him if we didn't walk Baerga.

Without him, we wouldn't have recovered, I don't think. He pitched like a guy that was in the rotation, one of those guys making $7 [million], $8 million.

You get very excited about him. [He has] everything: catching, throwing, hitting, switch-hitter. He's got it all. He's a ballplayer.

They scored five runs on two hits. We can't do that many more times. We hit guys, walked 'em — we can't keep doing that late in games.

Too much Martinez. He's a master out there. He's one of the game's greatest pitchers to come through.

When the season started, (King) was the No. 3 hitter, and I've always been one to have my best hitter in the No. 3 hole. But Edgar Ramirez started off hot, so I moved him to No. 3 and switched Tom to the second hitter. Then we started winning. I figured, why change something that's working?
