Buddy Bell Game Quotations

He's played really well. He'll come into Spring Training with a real good opportunity. A lot of it depends on what we do in the winter, but there's not a whole lot about his game that I don't like.

When they got the four runs, we can't stop playing. We've got to keep playing. The nature of the game is to keep going. I didn't think the focus was there at the end after they got the four runs. That can't happen. I'm kind of running out of answers.

It doesn't really matter what kind of game it is. They're all just trying to impress all of us at this point.

I would never say it can't get worse. This game is too hard to play. There's always something lurking around the corner.

That was just a game where everything went right for us.

It was the other extreme, but a guy like Santana can do that to you. He can make things look real lethargic. The game just didn't have a flow to it.

Both of them looked like they threw free and easy. Now we're trying to figure out what we're going to do with Bautista -- whether we're going to send him to the Instructional League or whether we're going to have another simulated game for him before the Instructional League.

This game was so crazy. It's probably one of the worst games we played in the whole streak. I told the guys after the game that they handled one of the toughest times ever in baseball. A young team faced TV and newspapers and everywhere they read they were scrutinized. I'm proud of them. It was tough, but the guys handled themselves with class.

This is getting really old. We literally did some bad things -- getting picked off, doubled off. The kid pitched a good game, but he threw to the same place the whole game and we didn't make adjustments. You've got to have the courage to make adjustments, to live with a plan. It is frustrating.

It just didn't make any sense to me. I've never played, managed or coached a game like that. To see a big league game like that is unheard of. I've never seen anything like that. I hope I don't see it again.

It might have been the play of the game when he threw behind Everett,

It seems like every game we play we get behind early and we just can't -- we don't have any kind of consistent offensive attack.

It was the first game we played like that. It was kind of a typical Spring Training game.
