Jim Leyland Good Quotations

We have hit 14 more home runs this year than we did last year, which may be good because it's helped us win some games. But it's not necessarily going to help us, because you start thinking that way and we've got to find all kinds of way to produce runs.

I think there's no question we got the right guy for the situation. I've been impressed. I've had good (coaches). I've been lucky throughout my managerial career with that kind of stuff. He's very good at what he does. He came highly recommended by some very bright baseball people. He's quickly become a friend, a nice buffer between me and the pitchers, a good guy to hang out with.

We got good starting pitching again. There's no such thing as momentum in baseball -- you are only as good as your next pitcher.

There's a lot of things this team has had going for it. It's good timing. But if you had to say what's been the biggest factor so far, you'd have to say it's starting pitching.

I don't know if they will Wednesday, but that was a good feeling.
