Buddy Bell Games Quotations

He's a guy that'll help us win some games.

He was great the way he got out of it that inning. He's going to win a lot of games for us. We've just got to start scoring some runs for him.

He'll play a couple of games at short, but mainly he'll play second. He'll get a lot of playing time there. We want to see what he can do offensively, we already know he's a good defensive player.

That was one of those games when we didn't do anything right. We can't play like that. It would be almost impossible to play like that again.

It's amazing what you can do in this game with a heart and a brain

Everybody was sure we would do it, but I knew better. There was no way we would lose 100 games two years in a row! 63-99 looks real good right now!

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.

You're not going to win a lot of games when you get five hits and one run. Offensively, we've just struggled more than you'd like to see.

I knew it was over 100 games. We'd get close, but not over the hump.

This is a good experience for them. Everything isn't clicking just yet, but they'll be a part of a lot of winning games someday. They're young guys. They struggle with their confidence sometimes.
