Buck Showalter Quotations | Page 3

He's a tough competitor and doesn't back off.

He's a special young man. He's sharp and has great people skills. He's a quick learner. J.D. will make the decisions, and most of the time he's been right.

He's capable of doing the job. It's a matter of when, not if.

He's been walking around all morning with his chest puffed out. Good for him.

You always want to get off to a good start. This would be just another reason to want that.

Yesterday wore him out. I think the thing that wore him out was talking to so many people.

Kevin had a great spring. He started off slow, having a nagging injury, but he is starting to swing the bat well. He is seeing the ball well and centers the ball so well. Kevin is so strong that the ball has a lot of carry. He can just power the ball out of here.

Kenny was pitching well until he got hit by that line drive and he battled his way through five innings.

Kenny was effective. They've seen Kenny so much. They hit some good pitches for hits. He bent, but he didn't break.

Kevin made good pitches when he had to, but it took a lot out of him. It was a tribute to him that he was able to get through it for five innings and give us a chance there.
