Willie Randolph Stuff 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 don't ever react to stuff like that.

His stuff was pretty good, I thought, really. He had a sneaky fastball and threw in the low 90s. I think overall he threw the ball pretty well.

His stuff is good. Hey, we're 9-2 and he's a part of our team and as long as we're doing well I don't feel I should waste a lot of energy talking about him.

He was probably just bouncing around with exercises, stuff like that. His stomach's a little upset.

It boils down to how the guys play for you. That's the most important thing for me. I've done a good job getting my team ready to play every day. That is, as a manager, all you can do. The other stuff you can poke holes in. The main thing is I've learned a lot about the game.

I saw him pitch lights out many times against the Yankees. We have to play this stuff out. I'm just being really positive about him because I know he can do certain things. But until he gets into this new environment playing for us, you don't know that.

We're not able to put the nail in the coffin so to speak, just adding on. All crucial runs, all stuff that comes back to bite you later. We must be gluttons for punishment I guess.

Victor has a lot of movement on his pitches, so sometimes he's going to be out of the zone. But this year is a different year. And I'm hoping that he can stay around the zone, so he can use his stuff and let his stuff naturally work for him, because he's got good movement.

The more work he gets, the better he'll be. His stuff is still good. He's able to make pitches. As long as we're doing well, I don't really see the need to waste a lot of energy talking about him. He's part of the team and the team is doing well.

This is my first time getting a chance to see him on my team. That other stuff from other clubs, that's what he ran into there.
