Tony Russa Runs Quotations

Hung in there? You don't just hang in there when you limit them to two runs with all those opportunities. When he had guys on base, he was outstanding.

Look at the runs he gave up, they were two breaking balls over the plate, ... He made a couple of breaking ball mistakes and that's two extra runs.

I think he runs well, I understand he defends well and he's got a nice stroke. I think that's enough. He has some credentials and he competes.

I think he's a talented guy. I think he runs well. I understand he defends well, he has a nice stroke. That's enough. All I know is it's 2006 and he has a chance.

We saved runs all night long. That's the way you had to win that game, because they had so many opportunities. Our defense stood out.

A guy like that, could he do enough to be the dominant player at the position? Depends on what kind of offensive player he becomes. He's got a live bat. He could hit 15, 20 home runs if he played every day. He's just got to find a way to do it.
