Willie Randolph Bottom Quotations

Obviously, when you're looking at it, it's not too pretty. But the bottom line is we still had a chance to win the game.

We're just going through the process of learning how to play winning baseball. The bottom line is that we're learning the hard way.

He was effectively erratic I guess. That was probably the most erratic we've seen him in a while. But the bottom line is he made pitches when he had to make them. Sometimes he may get out of sync, but he has a way of gathering himself when he has to.

I thought Zambrano looked a lot looser, there was more fluidity to his pitches, he kept the ball down. The key to success for any pitcher is to pound the bottom of the zone, but with him, especially. He looked totally different.

It can't hurt. He's been there before, and bottom line, I hope he can produce and help win us some games.

We're not trying to go out and totally intimidate anybody. The bottom line is, we do have arm strength, and that's to your advantage in some ways. The key, really, is throwing strikes.

The thing I liked about today more than anything was we picked each other up. I really thought the pitchers did a nice job of picking guys up and we had to scratch for some runs, but the bottom line is that Billy came in and closed it on a great throw by Carlos.
