Dusty Baker Michael Quotations

I was talking to Michael about it -- it's an honor to be chosen to play for your country.

He hasn't been quite Michael since spring training. We wanted him to go get his arm strength back. We are going to need him before the year is over.

He's doing pretty well. We feel very fortunate. It could've been a lot, lot worse. I guess Michael has a hard head.

Zambrano threw a heck of a game. I tried to let him get his 15th (win). We just played a good game, an outstanding game. Pettitte threw a good game, and it was all knotted up. Michael B. (Barrett) got a clutch, clutch hit.

I like our tandem. Henry has helped Michael a lot.

The last couple days Michael has come up with some heroics.

He's still upset about them losing. That's Michael -- he wants to win so badly.

It's a good experience for your confidence, especially for Michael, to feel like you're an All-Star. D-Lee's been an All-Star. When you're on a team like that with other stars, that builds your confidence. 'Hey, man, I'm a star.' I think it's better for Michael in that situation confidence-wise and psychologically than D-Lee.
