Clint Hurdle Happen Quotations

We have a youthful lineup. They have gone through a stretch where they have collectively come up short driving runs in. Each time it doesn't happen there seems to be more importance or a heightened awareness the next time, an added weight to be fit into place. That's just part of the experience process they have to get through. They have to realize that no matter what happens, we're going to play another game.

We have worked hard this year to get better. That has started to happen and we want (the players) to reap the fruits of their hard work.

It would be like guys talking about cars. Rebuilding a carburetor is nothing for them. For me, that's an impossibility, it's not going to happen unless I take it somewhere. But for a hitter those are terms that are pretty commonplace.

That is never going to happen again. (Sullivan) got outside himself. He was thinking about breaking up a double play. That's priority 'z' in that situation.

He's not happy about it. He'll learn from it. It won't happen again; I'm confident of that.

He came in and helped Band-Aid things together and put himself in a good position for what might happen later on down the road. He built his confidence up. He pitched a lot better than he did last spring. He hit his spots, threw all his pitches for strikes and got the ball down.
