Tony LaRussa Quotations

Everything he does is live. Live arm, live bat, live legs. It will be interesting to see just how much playing time he can earn.

He's got special talent and he's got a special attitude. Guys who have that play in the big leagues.

He made a couple of mistakes, but I thought he was solid.

That was such a typical game that we played,

Our hearts were beating at the end. If Albert comes up, who knows what.

He's not coming with heat; he's never coming with heat. He's coming with a lot of intelligence and a great feel for pitching.

It was not easy, with the errors. (Morris) pitched around them, which is tough to do in this ballpark, against the danger they have in that lineup.

You can't be successful without it. It'll make him a better pitcher. He's a talented guy.

That's why he's here. There's potential there. We got a veteran, so he knows himself better than anybody, especially us.

Every year he's played better and better. Last year, we reached that 100 win total. We're not winning 100 games without So being a really clutch player.
