Guy Hansen Quotations

I thought Zack was great Sunday and I think he's been great for a couple of months now -- like we saw in his first six or seven outings,

He can be a pitcher within a pitcher over the course of a game. He can adapt to the way batters adapt to him,

And when a team is focused like that and you're off a little bit, that's when you get a crazy inning like that. I thought the second and third inning, he was able to right the ship a little bit.

That's what it came down to. It looked like he hadn't pitched in awhile. So there you go.

The wins haven't picked up, but the quality of his stuff has been very good.

It was something that I could sense was going to happen, ... and it's a shame, because we're both good baseball people and we think a lot alike, but there never was a very good union between Bell and me.

He could be a power guy like Clemens or he could be a finesse guy like Radke. Or he could end up in the middle.

He was pitching against a team that was very focused and I thought they did a real good job of hitting the pitches where they were thrown. They didn't come out of their shoes on anything and kept a very, very solid base,

He's been able to get out of a jam but the next inning, that's it. He hasn't been able to build on that inning, gets a little sloppy and he falters.

He had a pretty angle to all his pitches, although his command within the strike zone wasn't very good,
