Phil Garner Looked Quotations

But we bounced back tonight and looked great.

He's had a couple of games when he actually looked a little bit human - but sometimes we have to pick him up, too. Sometimes, you have to outscore the other team.

He's played well and ironically he looks great this spring. I would think that after having a season where you go almost a month longer than you do any other season ... he would have come to spring training and be a little bit slow. But he's actually looked better this spring than he did last spring.

I thought Baggy looked better today than he has all spring. Each one little step is a good step but it's a process. It's not an event. Today is not going to determine whether he's good or bad.

I thought we had plenty of runs, we had Roy on the mound and things looked pretty good. Then a few innings later things didn't look so good. It was a game you didn't want to let get away.

We send them (Marlins) out of town with no change. After those first two games, it looked bleak.

We had a couple of chances. We couldn't get a run across the plate, but we got back in the ballgame. We did a good job fighting to get back into the ballgame. It looked like we were going to turn it and win it.

You don't want to dig yourself a hole we can't get out of. It looked like we'd done that last year, and it turned out we played our best ball the last part of May through the rest of the year.

After that first at-bat, and then the second at-bat was a good at-bat. He looked very good, very solid at the plate tonight. We are pleased to see his approach at the plate.

It's not been a position he's been playing a lot in pro ball, so I wouldn't say it's a given that you pick it right back up, but once you get on a bike you still know how to ride it, I would think. He's looked pretty smooth the couple of times he's been behind the plate for me.

I looked at their lineup, and that's better than some All-Star lineups. And they don't even have (Vladimir Guerrero) out there. That's impressive.

Chavez has done a good job in the past and so has Quintero. He came down with a couple of strains, and he came down with appendicitis, which was a terrible thing to go through, but he's healthy now and having a good spring. Hector didn't play winter ball, but he's looked fundamentally sound.

He struggled with his command a little bit. He looked good on some pitches, real good on some pitches. Then he struggled a little bit.

He threw the ball well. I was very pleased. He had good mound presence, threw the ball over the plate and after probably six or seven pitches, it looked like he said, 'Alright I'm going at them,' and he did. He just settled right in. He didn't go deep in the count a lot of times. He went right after them and made them do something.

He threw all of his pitches, and I thought he looked like he was throwing the ball pretty good. I think he looks like he's OK.

He's looked very good, he's throwing the ball very well. If he continues to locate his pitches, he's going to be a factor.
