It has to be close to a borderline miracle.

He's shown the Padres 80 times what he can do. You don't get too close to the stove without getting burned.

It was a close pitch. (Thome) spit on it, it may have been a little low, but it's borderline. But still, you walk a guy and when the next guy comes up, you've got to make your pitches.

That was an impressive at-bat. He fouled one off his knee and he battled, then he got one he could handle.

They're both strike throwers. They won't beat themselves.

I want them to get accustomed to playing together. I like the way the outfield looks. They are working well together.
