Joe Torre Runs Quotations

Walk a guy who knocked in 150 runs versus a guy who knocked in 140 runs. You can make that decision.

Scoring 10 runs in one game doesn't give you a five-run lead the next day.

Right now, we are just having trouble putting runs on the board. We can't string together some hits right now, but it's early in the season.

I like the way that we've come into both these games. We've been aggressive early, getting scoring position, constantly giving ourselves chances to get runs on the board. So I feel good about our club right now.

I have no hesitation at all about trying to continue to score runs there.

Instead of questioning the period, they're going to question the player for the whole time, and I don't think that's fair. Because he was a heck of a player as a skinny kid. He hit a lot of home runs against me. I would walk him intentionally even then, so that kind of respect was earned at that point in time.
