That's very important. I like my pitchers to stay focused and execute pitches and not get wrapped up in the score, but that's not very easy to do. Jae got a little tired at the end. We had some long innings, but he did keep us in the game as far as getting throught the first five pretty easily.
Quote by -Willie Randolph
Winning the first game of the series doesn't mean anything if we don't win the next two, or one of the next two.
Quote by -Willie Randolph
Today, obviously it's pretty much bad game management. Anytime you give up 0-2 home runs, that's not what you want to do. We had that quick 1-2-3 pitcher and then all hell broke loose in that one inning where he should have gotten out of that real easy. He just made bad pitches at the wrong time.
Quote by -Willie Randolph
We walked the tightrope a little bit, but it was a good game for the fans to watch.
Quote by -Willie Randolph
Every situation is totally different for me. Every team that faces Barry Bonds has the same dilemma. You just pick your spots in the course of the game and you try to make the right decision and hope that it's executed. It's no different than any other team. Obviously, he's still a presence and obviously he's still one of the best hitters in the game and you have to be very conscious of him.
Quote by -Willie Randolph
Even if he would have lost or had a so-so game yesterday, he's still going to bring something to the table every time,
Quote by -Willie Randolph
There's nothing to address. We're going to play the game the way we've been playing.
Quote by -Willie Randolph
Pretty exciting night for us. Nice win for us in the first game of a homestand. Now we've got two more big ones.
Quote by -Willie Randolph
I told him that I'd prefer him not to do that. He felt he could maybe get a bunt base hit and, like I said earlier, if he makes it, then we're OK. But even if he makes it, it still might not be the right play.. ... He feels that's part of his game in his mind. But, personally, no, I'd rather him swing the bat.
Quote by -Willie Randolph
I told him that I'd prefer him not to do that, ... He felt he could maybe get a bunt base hit and, like I said earlier, if he makes it, then we're O.K. But even if he makes it, it still might not be the right play. But he feels that's part of his game in his mind. But personally, no, I'd rather him swing the bat.
Quote by -Willie Randolph
It's obviously a very important stretch for us, and we'll just play it as we go. That's the way we've kept it all year, one game and one series at a time.
Quote by -Willie Randolph
It's always nice to get the guys out there moving around. You sit back and watch guys throw on the side, but the only way you can get a good feel is to get into game action.
Quote by -Willie Randolph
It was a good game for us to get back on the winning ways. Hopefully we're going to turn the corner here, and get into a nice little run.
Quote by -Willie Randolph
If somebody told me wed lose every game to the Braves this year and be in the World Series, Id take that.
Quote by -Willie Randolph
Comeback wins are always nice. Anytime you can take a game away it's always big.
Quote by -Willie Randolph
The kids are obviously part of our future, and the fact is they're going to experience, hopefully, a very exciting pennant race. Everybody likes their hits. It's being involved in something that could be special and getting experience when the game counts. Mets fans and the organization should be proud of David Wright and Jose Reyes, and Victor Diaz had a huge night also. And Jake is getting his feet wet.
Quote by -Willie Randolph
One of the things that young players have to not only learn but gain an admiration for is the respect factor of the game and the people who have participated in previous years, and an understanding of the history of the organization they are playing in. It's an organization very rich in tradition.
Quote by -Jim Tracy
We made the most of three first-inning runs. The reason: Derek Lowe. For the fourth game in a row, he's been phenomenal. Not good, not great, but phenomenal. I can not say enough good things about Derek Lowe.
Quote by -Jim Tracy
He was terrific tonight. I certainly would hope that this is a game he can build on. He doesn't have anything left to prove in the Minor Leagues. He has to prove that he belongs here, and I think he started to tonight.
Quote by -Jim Tracy
He was terrific. He looked like it was his third or fourth game of the spring, not his first. And I liked his approach at the plate, too.
Quote by -Jim Tracy
Just giving him two or three days. Hey, that kid can fall out of bed and hit. The first game we played he had three hits and every one was smoked. I said right then, 'Let's put him in a humidor until Opening Day. Why does he need to be out here?
Quote by -Jim Tracy
Pitching and defense has been the name of the game in baseball forever. I don't care what level you're playing at. My philosophy since I started managing has been that, before you can look at any other phases, you've got to feel fairly comfortable that you've got some people who can pitch and you've got to be able to catch the ball. If you can't do either one, your chances of being very good are slim.
Quote by -Jim Tracy
That was his game to determine. It was his baseball game at that point. You have to give him the opportunity to finish it.
Quote by -Jim Tracy
We had our chances to win that game, but it boils down, night after night, to the kind of game we had, and I say the same thing. We needed a situational at-bat to tie the game, then a two-out hit would put us ahead.
Quote by -Jim Tracy
We had opportunities for this game to be different than it was. We let it get away from us and that happened in the top of the first inning.
Quote by -Jim Tracy
We got the three runs in that inning and we didn't do anything else. That's our offensive game tonight.
Quote by -Jim Tracy
We're not quitting, that's for sure. We've been in every single game and we've had a chance to win every single game.
Quote by -Jim Tracy
When the first pitch of the game gets thrown, we've got four games to try to win. I'm certainly interested in doing that now that I am sitting in this office.
Quote by -Jim Tracy
We were pitched to death. It's the best game that's been pitched against us all year.
Quote by -Jim Tracy
Each and every time we creep back into the game, it's followed up by additional runs by the other side of the field. And when you're trying to play catch up, and it continues to go further and further away from you, you're trying to get back in the game three or four times a game that's tough to do.
Quote by -Jim Tracy
Each time we creep back into the game, it's followed up by additional runs from the other side of the field. When you're trying to get back into a game three or four times a day, that's tough to do.
Quote by -Jim Tracy
I started to fall in love with the game of baseball when my dad gave me my first set of baseball cards, ... I kept the ones I recognized. The guys I didn't were the ones I put in the spokes of my bicycle with clothes pins.
Quote by -Jim Tracy
Think about the ... significance of ... how many at-bats he takes this year with men on base because the guy (Casey) hitting in front of him is going to be on base. There's going to be a number of times that he's going to come up to the plate with people on base and have the opportunity to either extend the inning, put a game away or extend leads. All those possibilities will be there.
Quote by -Jim Tracy
I've never seen Curt Schilling go out and start a game with the intention of hurting people. But if you start hitting people in the head... you need to be very careful of that.
Quote by -Jim Tracy
Sometimes it takes one at-bat in one game for the light to go on. You can accomplish a lot by doing what we were doing with Duffy today.
Quote by -Jim Tracy
Offensively, we did some great things. To get back in the game in the manner in which we did took some great at-bats.
Quote by -Jim Tracy
That's his game to determine at that point. You take him out of the game like that there, you bring in the bullpen and a mistake is made, a ball gets hit in the gap, and he's the pitcher of record in the losing decision, and he got to watch it on the other side of the dugout. I don't handle pitching that way.
Quote by -Jim Tracy
As small an aspect of the game as bunting might appear to be to a lot of people, it's really important to me. The complexion of a game can change because you have the ability to advance a runner 90 feet. It's huge.
Quote by -Jim Tracy
It's a tough game to lose after the manner in which we came back. One of the first things to stave off on the road is a leadoff walk in the bottom of the ninth. More often than not, it comes back to haunt you, and it did.
Quote by -Jim Tracy
It's going to be just another game to those guys because they've been given at-bats. That's why they've been given at-bats, so that in a situation like this, they're ready and not rusty.
Quote by -Jim Tracy
It was a great game. We did everything we could to win the game to avoid being swept.
Quote by -Jim Tracy
I know he wants to retire from the game knowing he did it physically competing at the end, ... You have to admire that.
Quote by -Jim Tracy
He's the consummate professional. He plays the game only one way and that's to win. I really think the fans in Pittsburgh are going to love this guy. He's their type of player.
Quote by -Jim Tracy
The kid has the pitches to be very good. This was definitely a game for him to build on.
Quote by -Jim Tracy
You want this whole environment to be fun for them. You want the game of baseball to be fun. You can have fun and also be involved in a businesslike manner and continue to utilize the techniques that we have been talking about over the course of these four days. You can get something done and have people going into the clubhouse with a good feeling about themselves.
