Willie Randolph Closer Quotations

Obviously bringing in Wagner, a legitimate closer who makes you feel real good at the end of the game when you give him the ball, all of that stuff is really comforting for most managers.

I felt good about the match-up. Bonds is a great hitter, but my closer is one of the best in the game.

We have to win the game. He's our closer and I thought he'd come in and close it out.

It's fine. He was my closer and he said he was fine. I told him to take the ball and he went out and pitched. There's nothing wrong with him.

Everyone pitches with a certain amount of discomfort. We have medical reports every day and Loop never said anything about not taking the ball. He was my closer and he said he was fine.
