That last pitch was as gutsy as I've ever seen anybody throw. That was a 3-2, bases-loaded slider. If I was a hitter, I'm certainly not looking for that pitch.

I don't throw the slider and I haven't really thrown the slow curve anymore. I can't throw to bases anymore. It used to be the easiest thing in the world to do.

He's another guy that we can throw in the mix. We'll take a good look at him. I think he throws very well and, of course, he's got power. He brings some Major League statistics to the table. He's going to have to go out there and win a job just like everybody else.

I'd rather you walk with the bases loaded.

That was the best I have ever seen [Lowry] throw -- that one pitch is getting better, and that is bad news for everybody.

With the bases loaded, he turned it up. He threw a curveball to Utley and struck him out that I think was the best curveball I've ever seen him throw.
