Willie Randolph Loop Quotations

I already told Loop we're going to be flexible in that role, ... We'll see how it goes. It's not something that we can figure out because there's not enough time.

You go through the first loop and you make a few adjustments so it's accommodating in some ways to players and getting their work in. Last year I wanted to set the tone with a hard workout and get guys' attention, and get guys working and to understand that's what we're here for.

Everyone pitches with a certain amount of discomfort. We have medical reports every day and Loop never said anything about not taking the ball. He was my closer and he said he was fine.

I just remember thinking in my mind, 'Throw him a slider. Just throw him a slider. Give him something soft.' Loop kept throwing fastballs, and he probably got one in the zone and he put a bat on it.
