Dusty Baker Almost Quotations

Missing almost the second half of the season last year really slowed his progress some. Skill-wise, he has the skill. We know that. It's just a matter of him playing and doing the little things. He works hard.

We had almost everything today but a stolen base. We managed to score a lot of different ways.

We're almost there. We've got to play through .500, not up to .500.

We scored a lot of runs in a lot of different ways. We executed the hit-and-run. We had almost everything in there besides stolen bases.

You're playing against guys who are younger than you, so you can set them up. You get to a certain point in your career and you almost know what's coming. You learn to trust your feelings. Hank Aaron told me you don't become a great player until you learn to trust your feelings.

It's very weird for me. It's almost like an unreal situation.

He started out not very sharp and he had 37 pitches in the first inning. That's almost three innings worth and we were debating whether or not to send him out in the seventh or not but he wanted to pitch and he ended the game strong.

It's very rare for me. It's almost like an unreal situation, but that makes you appreciate it more when you get back ? that pennant races and going to the playoffs just doesn't happen automatically. It humbles you.

You can score a lot of runs a lot of different ways. We had almost everything today but stolen bases.
