QUOTES BY Dave Duncan

"Getting them all the amount of work necessary is important as long as the three of them are still competing for the job. We're going to try our best to give them equal opportunity. We'll figure out a way to do it."

"Sometimes that's what happens. Used in another role, given a different opportunity - a pitcher finds his strength."

"Mulder really deserved this game today, because he's probably had the opportunity, or been in position, to win four or five games that we let get away from us after he's been out of the game. It's nice for him to get a special win, and I know this is special for him."

"Instead of getting in shape, he can refine the quality of his pitches. Has he been good? Yes. Is he capable of being better? I think so."

"He's trying to throw too hard, trying to make it break too much, to make it better than it is. It doesn't need to be any better than it is. But when you increase your effort, you come out of your delivery and it affects your command."

"I think he's more conscious of trying to pitch to the weakness of the hitter rather than just going after everybody the same way. That's pretty much what he did when he first came over."

"I'm not forming any hard opinions one way or the other. It's way too early. . . . Gradually things clarify themselves."

"I don't trust my memory,"

"I still think it's excessive, but I appreciate them reconsidering and listening to what I had to say."
