We pitched well for four innings and we didn't pitch well for five. The sad thing is you need to pit...
MIKE HARGROVE I don't know if there is anyone in the American League who has played the position better than Jerem...
MIKE HARGROVE If you talk to Jeremy, he'll tell you that offensively he's disappointed. He certainly was not what ...
MIKE HARGROVE He'll get some but it's not going to be an everyday thing. I don't necessarily think that Jeremy is ...
MIKE HARGROVE It's been bothering him for awhile now. It's now as bad as it's been all year.
MIKE HARGROVE It reminded me of the first two weeks of Spring Training. But they'll be better.
MIKE HARGROVE Usually it's two guys holding the victim, but this was even better. I think this trick was invented ...
MIKE HARGROVE Everyone is doing what they're supposed to do. Guys around our big guys are getting on base and into...
MIKE HARGROVE I always have been intrigued by Ichiro hitting third. When I managed against him with Baltimore I wa...
MIKE HARGROVE I thought Joe caught real well. He had a lot of life. He bounced around behind the plate real well.
MIKE HARGROVE They've been working at this a little longer than we have this spring.
MIKE HARGROVE I think it was a little indecisive. You would have to ask him. We talked to him.
MIKE HARGROVE We had a coach who was with Albert at every level Albert went. He was Albert's babysitter, for lack ...
MIKE HARGROVE Getting outscored 33-1 in Detroit, that's like a perfect storm. It's one of those things that don't ...
MIKE HARGROVE You guys asked me before if he was awestruck with the Yankees, and I tried to downplay that. I don't...
MIKE HARGROVE He could not find the plate. We took him out as early as we could.
MIKE HARGROVE I haven't gone around and taken a poll -- and I won't -- but I would bet if you went out and asked a...
MIKE HARGROVE I said, 'I'm afraid he'll try to catch it in his hip pocket,'
MIKE HARGROVE The plan is for him to catch one inning.
MIKE HARGROVE Hopefully, we'll use him three or four times. There is nothing wrong with his arm. It was just dead ...
MIKE HARGROVE He didn't have command of anything. He got away with some hanging breaking balls early, but he didn'...
MIKE HARGROVE In the first inning, he scuffled a little bit. It was reminiscent of his last two starts. Then all o...
MIKE HARGROVE It's good to have them throw together. I think they can learn from each other a little bit.
MIKE HARGROVE I told Dobbs that's the best contact he's made all spring.
MIKE HARGROVE It was good to see. He might have muddied the picture a little bit.
MIKE HARGROVE We've been in our bullpen with a lot of regularity this year in the fifth inning or starting the six...
MIKE HARGROVE I couldn't look at that last pitch. I found something on the dugout floor to look at.
MIKE HARGROVE We don't have anyone with an exceptional move, no one like Kenny Rogers. But there are other ways of...
MIKE HARGROVE We pitched well enough to win tonight. We just didn't score any runs.
MIKE HARGROVE There's nothing worse than loading the bases and scoring one run. Jose is still not a polished playe...
MIKE HARGROVE He pitched an outstanding game. We just couldn't score enough runs for him to win.
MIKE HARGROVE I think he was a little indecisive once he saw the ball. We have talked to him. He just got caught o...
MIKE HARGROVE Let's not make a mountain out of a molehill. He'll be back tomorrow.
MIKE HARGROVE What you're shooting for is to get them frustrated enough that they start holding each other account...
MIKE HARGROVE Rodriguez has got good stuff, and Lopez laid off that curveball when he got behind and got the count...
MIKE HARGROVE It's not a stretch we're happy with. But we've been in one of those stretches where it seems a lot o...
MIKE HARGROVE I would be absolutely thrilled if he's a better player when he shows up than he was when he left las...
MIKE HARGROVE I wasn't concerned about the strikeouts. He caught the ball well. He received the ball well. He made...
MIKE HARGROVE That was big. Sherrill gets a big strikeout against a very good hitter and then Mateo gets one of th...
MIKE HARGROVE I think we saw the result of not pitching in a game. Even at that, they only got two hits off him. B...
MIKE HARGROVE There was no discussion of limiting his innings. And you saw what happened to him.
MIKE HARGROVE I think we saw inactivity effect (Julio) Mateo as well.
MIKE HARGROVE We liked what we saw of him in spring training and hopefully we don't lose him. But he wasn't gettin...
MIKE HARGROVE If Willie goes out there every day, you lose a lot of your flexibility. I wouldn't mind using him ou...
MIKE HARGROVE We have options. It wouldn't do any good to discuss them before I talk to Bill. That would be puttin...
MIKE HARGROVE I didn't like it that our guys threw so many balls. They were all throwing strikes pitching in the b...
MIKE HARGROVE When I say Dan Wilson is one of the good guys, for me, that's the ultimate compliment. Very few of u...
MIKE HARGROVE If I DH Morse, I don't have a middle infielder to use later in the game. When I have him in left fie...
MIKE HARGROVE I'm worn a little thin tonight. We never really were [in it] after the first two innings.
MIKE HARGROVE It's awfully difficult going into the late innings with a one-run lead, especially the ninth inning....
MIKE HARGROVE We finally won our first extra-inning game and our first one-run game. When these things end, the wa...
MIKE HARGROVE It seems we're not only letting other teams jump out, then [they] add on, which makes it tough. But ...
MIKE HARGROVE Eddie is still our closer.
MIKE HARGROVE He got away with a couple of curveballs. He just spun it up there, didn't try to bury them. Hopefull...
MIKE HARGROVE The way he's thrown and the starts that he's had have been absolutely outstanding. He has been bette...
MIKE HARGROVE On a scale of 1-10, this is barely a 1. This is patty cake.
MIKE HARGROVE especially in a no-no.
MIKE HARGROVE I'm especially pleased with the way Woods threw the ball. And Gonzalez. It's good to see those guys ...
MIKE HARGROVE We've got to keep those runs from scoring, especially late in the ballgame.
MIKE HARGROVE When the other club knows you're looking to take an extra base, they'll charge the ball more. When t...
MIKE HARGROVE Had we scored one of those runs, yeah, I think we would have [gotten the momentum]. Not doing that, ...
MIKE HARGROVE Jamie's the prime candidate, and beyond that you really don't necessarily want two left-handers goin...
MIKE HARGROVE Hernandez left two pitches up in the zone, and that turned out to be the difference in the game.
MIKE HARGROVE I don't do this to be vindictive or to punish someone. I do it to get Adrian on track because we nee...
MIKE HARGROVE We have to be patient with him and take into consideration how long he's been out.
MIKE HARGROVE Seeing him throw like that gave me a warm feeling. I wish we had five more just like him.
MIKE HARGROVE I anticipate the starter going five or six, and Gil going two or three. When he gets through that, w...
MIKE HARGROVE The ball wasn't going where he wanted it to. I'm sure he was a little frustrated. I've thrown my han...
MIKE HARGROVE I'm really trying not to go off the deep end bragging about this guy. I'd love to tell you the flowe...
MIKE HARGROVE I'd just as soon shut him down after the season is over. He's pitched enough.
MIKE HARGROVE Five runs with two outs is tough to take. It sure took the air out of our balloon.
MIKE HARGROVE We're putting together lists of names and are narrowing it down. It's important in our minds to do t...
MIKE HARGROVE The good ones you have to get as early as you can. He settled down more quickly than we hoped. Washb...
MIKE HARGROVE It's kind of been perplexing not to be able to get Matt the at-bats.
MIKE HARGROVE He wasn't getting many at-bats, and he didn't have any prospects of getting more at-bats. We like hi...
MIKE HARGROVE Matt has been a good big-league player. We'll make the switch to get him some at-bats ... give Jerem...
MIKE HARGROVE He is as was advertised. He's a good solid catcher, he has a good quick release. He has an average t...
MIKE HARGROVE You finally break through and at the last possible second. Then your closer comes in and you scuffle...
MIKE HARGROVE He kept the ball down, and when he elevated his pitches, he intended to. His last four or five outin...
MIKE HARGROVE The way we gave up those five runs after there were two out had something to do with that. We'd scor...
MIKE HARGROVE We gave up four quick ones and never got back in it. We didn't even hit many balls hard.
MIKE HARGROVE We saw the result of him not pitching in a game for 14 days. Even given that, he gave up only two hi...
MIKE HARGROVE Our pitchers got tentative, started throwing ball one, ball two, and when you do that you're going t...
MIKE HARGROVE He keeps keeping himself in the mix. He certainly hasn't done anything to eliminate himself.
MIKE HARGROVE We're sitting there in the middle of the game and all of a sudden a rat walked into our dugout. It m...
MIKE HARGROVE Jo is not a wallflower. He has a presence.
MIKE HARGROVE If Felix had a mouthful of nickels, he couldn't give you change for a quarter. He doesn't speak much...
MIKE HARGROVE We pitched well for four innings. The sad thing is you have to pitch well for nine innings.
MIKE HARGROVE I think it was a good learning situation for him. I really do. [But] it scared the [heck] out of me.
MIKE HARGROVE I think we've seen him getting stronger and stronger and more confident in the fact his arm is 100 p...
MIKE HARGROVE He threw strikes and when he got in trouble, he got groundballs. That's how to pitch, ... A performa...
MIKE HARGROVE He said it felt like a cramp. If I was to guess, I'd say he pulled a hamstring.
MIKE HARGROVE Our pitches got very tentative. You can't get tentative against a lineup like the Yankees. We threw ...
MIKE HARGROVE Meche's bullpen was unsatisfactory, ... He said his shoulder felt funny. That's what he reported and...
MIKE HARGROVE Richie was one happy camper after that game, ... especially when you consider that this time last ye...
MIKE HARGROVE I've seen him in simulated games, but I'm interested to see him pitch, ... I don't know that we'll s...
MIKE HARGROVE It was the best way to go, ... and certainly the most nerve-racking.
MIKE HARGROVE If he keeps making plays like that, ... he's not going to have to hit at all.
MIKE HARGROVE I don't mind that this happened, I really don't. I think having some passion in this game is a good ...
MIKE HARGROVE I'm interested to see him. I don't know that we'll see him at full strength, but I'm kind of interes...
MIKE HARGROVE He'll get worked real hard,
MIKE HARGROVE I'm not going to talk about the umpire. Let's talk about something we can control. The first two inn...
MIKE HARGROVE The first couple of innings, he was struggling with his mechanics. He had trouble throwing strikes. ...
MIKE HARGROVE I think every day he walks out and you look at his face you realize you expect too much out of him b...
MIKE HARGROVE More and more I see Adrian coming into that role,
MIKE HARGROVE I honestly believe what we're seeing is Joel gaining confidence and arm strength,
MIKE HARGROVE I hate to use those two matchup guys, Sherrill and Putz, that early. They both did a great job and g...
MIKE HARGROVE A good game for us, although I was worried about Eddie [Guardado] in the ninth, he was out of sync s...
MIKE HARGROVE That was a great slide and we got two runs out of it. That is something we have been lacking all yea...
MIKE HARGROVE the thing sat up and hissed at us, with those nasty teeth showing. We had guys running out of its wa...
MIKE HARGROVE Willie certainly has been a sparkplug for us. He's done a good job for us, and after we gave him a c...
MIKE HARGROVE Obviously, we didn't hit our spots today. When you miss as badly as we missed, you see what can happ...
MIKE HARGROVE I probably would not use him for more than one inning. And if I got him warming up in the bullpen, I...
MIKE HARGROVE He was so-so. He struggled with his command and didn't throw a lot of strikes. He was behind a lot o...
MIKE HARGROVE We need a guy in that role who's not afraid to swing the bat. And this guy is not afraid.
MIKE HARGROVE Gil's been in the big leagues awhile,
MIKE HARGROVE I don't know that he was awe-struck, but he was terribly excited.
MIKE HARGROVE Two-out hits to drive in runs are huge. They are momentum killers to the other side.
MIKE HARGROVE Offensively, I think we hoped for a little more out of Jeremy and I know he expected a lot more from...
MIKE HARGROVE We're looking for a guy who can do the job defensively, first of all. Then the offense would be a pl...
MIKE HARGROVE He's got a lot on the ball. He's the best young pitcher I've ever seen. I didn't see Dwight Gooden w...
MIKE HARGROVE He might as well have been wearing a sandwich board, with 'Eat At Joe's' on one side, ... and 'I'm b...
MIKE HARGROVE We think he slept on it wrong, and sometimes that can take hours to recover from. At least that's wh...
MIKE HARGROVE Real shallow breaths in the ninth. But at least I was still breathing.
MIKE HARGROVE How we're going to limit his innings remains to be seen. We can drop him down in the rotation ... wh...
MIKE HARGROVE It doesn't mean there are plans for him to move to third base. There was no motive other than I need...
MIKE HARGROVE We've just got to find a way to get Adrian going. And days off this early in the season I don't thin...
MIKE HARGROVE It's amazing how you can catch my eye by throwing strikes.
MIKE HARGROVE We might hold him back and just have him throw on the side. But we're not there yet.
MIKE HARGROVE Tonight he was really good. He can get wild and throw a lot of balls. We tried to let him do that, b...
MIKE HARGROVE I know the wind was blowing out, but that ball was spanked, so it probably would have been a homer r...
MIKE HARGROVE He's just a good player. He's a good hitter, a good defender and a good baserunner. He's a tremendou...
MIKE HARGROVE It's the first time I've ever seen anybody play the field with a shinguard on. He kept saying it was...
MIKE HARGROVE He kept a good-hitting team off balance.
MIKE HARGROVE You look back and are thankful that he reacted the way he did. It's not good to see him get into tro...
MIKE HARGROVE We won't know until tomorrow. If I were to guess, he pulled a hamstring.
MIKE HARGROVE Did he have no-hit stuff? Yeah, I think so. I was sitting there in the sixth wondering how many pitc...
MIKE HARGROVE I don't see how Bob Wolcott wins that game had Dan Wilson not been behind the plate.
MIKE HARGROVE We got too far behind.
MIKE HARGROVE The biggest question? Scoring runs. Anyway we can, by hook or crook, that's what we're going to do.
MIKE HARGROVE He's fine. [Mariners trainer] Rick [Griffin] has been in contact with their trainer, and what we hea...
MIKE HARGROVE He's come a long way since he first came to us in the trade [from the Chicago White Sox]. His stroke...

MIKE HARGROVE I was especially pleased with the way Woods threw. It's good to see them start to step up. We've bee...
MIKE HARGROVE We didn't know what we were going to get out of him. We only sent him out there for two. He did an o...
MIKE HARGROVE He's thrown strikes when he's pitched. He's shown a good breaking ball, which we knew he had.
MIKE HARGROVE Jeff came in and threw strikes. He competed. And he's versatile, too. He can start, he can relieve, ...
MIKE HARGROVE J.J has pitched well. He got a bit excited when he got two strikes on Newhan and he started to overt...
MIKE HARGROVE He's stronger and a little more sure of himself. It is early, but it's obvious he worked real hard t...
MIKE HARGROVE He was disappointed. If he continues to pitch the way he's pitching now and stays healthy, he's goin...
MIKE HARGROVE If he stays healthy, we'll be able to get him back on track.
MIKE HARGROVE I didn't like having to sit there and watch that.
MIKE HARGROVE When I had Richie in Cleveland he did this once, and I told him he looked like a Q-Tip. Maybe when h...
MIKE HARGROVE As long as we're the ones who have one or two more than the other team, it doesn't matter either way...
MIKE HARGROVE We weren't sure if he caught it just before he hit or as he hit. After he hit the ground, we were gl...
MIKE HARGROVE When you load the bases with no outs, you want to score more than one run. When we added Lopez's two...
MIKE HARGROVE They pitched extremely well; at least three of them did. When we got to them, it was because they lo...
MIKE HARGROVE But really, there's no way to prepare for it. It's the only pitch I ever went to swing at and was ne...
MIKE HARGROVE At about the 85 to 90 pitch mark, I don't know if he got a little tired and stopped over-throwing or...
MIKE HARGROVE He's pitched well every outing. The last two have been exceptionally well pitched. But he's been goo...
MIKE HARGROVE We didn't know we could get three innings out of him. We sent him out there to get two. But he did s...

MIKE HARGROVE He was only supposed to go two innings, but the way he threw, we stretched him out to three. He had ...
