Buck Showalter Tough Quotations

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

It certainly wasn't a thing of beauty. But the conditions were tough and both teams used a lot of young players.

We tried everything. They had two groundballs that found holes and Cabrera centered a ball. It was a good win for them and a tough loss for us.

We walked too many people. That was the difference. That's a tough lineup. They can do enough damage without us helping them.

Eraser is going to make it tough on us.

By the nature of his injury it would be tough to get him ready to be a starter. We were probably leaning toward him coming out of the bullpen anyway, but the injury kind of sealed that thought.

The hit-by-pitch hurt. It's tough to get him out anyway.

It's always been a concern. But knowing the nature of the injury, it's been tough to handicap.

It's not a finished product but he goes through periods where it's pretty good. We've got to decide if it's there yet. That's a pretty tough call.

It's a tough time for Coco. He's balancing a lot of things and trying to make a lot of people happy. I don't think people realize the pressure on this guy. There's a lot more going on than just the Texas Rangers, and anybody who has been in the Dominican knows what I'm talking about.

It's a tough day for him. His family is here and now he has to go to Nashville. He's doesn't fit in for us right now but he will again.

It's been a long trip, it obviously hasn't been fruitful. Everyone goes through periods, this is a tough period for us. Everyone knows what success is and we're not having it right now.
