Ned Yost Came Quotations

Rick did a good job in Triple-A, and he came up here and has done everything we've asked him to do. We'll give him a shot at it.

He's a good pitcher having a bad year. And the good pitcher in him came out tonight.

He went around the side and came in through the laundry room. He's already lost.

He came into camp in great shape. He really looks good.

Kolb came in and had a clean inning. It was good to get Kolb off on the right foot - he's going to be a big part of our bullpen.

Those kind of games come down to one big hit. Helling and Oswalt both pitched outstanding, and then Lidge came in and did an awesome job. Dana battled to get two outs and then got a pitch up to Bagwell and that was it. It was a great game.

That was big for him, to go out in more of a formal situation, facing another Major League team. The second inning he came out with easy life on his fastball. You could see he was really getting into it.

Corey came in, got off the plane, got dressed, took batting practice and smoked the ball two or three times. He finally got a hold of one.

Vargas came out on his game today and just shut us down offensively. We couldn't get anything going. He was hitting his spots real well.

You can't have your defensive guys everywhere. It wasn't like Brady was playing with his back against the wall. Brady came in a few steps. He just hit it under the coverage. It would be nice if you could have 15 guys out there, but you can't.

It was the exact same thing. We came right back, on the attack, and we got on the board early.

Before he came to Spring Training, he strained it a little bit. He slightly re-injured it in the World Baseball Classic. He came back and was feeling all right, but he slid into first the other day and kind of tweaked it again.
