In Montreal, we let the young guys pitch,

They're doing it with young guys. And most of them have been there the entire year.

That was the best I have ever seen [Lowry] throw -- that one pitch is getting better, and that is bad news for everybody.

He can really pitch. He has worked hard and is a very smart guy. I [have] got to say that today he is right there striking out people, stopping rallies, fielding his position, getting base hits and challenging hitters.

I have to say I haven't seen very many guys like that. At 20, that delivery, that breaking ball, that power and that changeup, you have to go back to the days of Tom Seaver.

We said last year the Giants were coming up with position guys who are respectable big-league prospects. These guys are swinging the bat well. Elly is hitting the ball. (Todd) Linden is getting hot. (Steve) Finley looks like he's getting two hits every time he plays. Overall, the hitters are looking pretty good.
