Gerald Perry Quotations

Frank laid off some tough pitches and the bat was coming through the zone well. I was very pleased with what he did.

He'll be ready for Opening Day. I have no doubt about that. He's been going at it pretty hard.

His timing is great. He's putting the barrel of the bat on the ball. He's laying off tough pitches off the plate.

He wasn't using the leg kick all the time and I pointed out that if he wanted to use it during the regular season he better start here. You want to get your timing down in camp.

Jason is only going to get better. His track record shows that. He's going to be fine.

I thought he looked great. Those balls would have been out if it hadn't been for the wind. He's swinging the bat well.

I thought he looked great. He's swinging the bat well, and his timing looks like it's there. The key is that he got the barrel of the bat on the ball and he was laying off tough pitches. He's been able to get 30 at-bats relatively quickly.

I was really pleased. I was very pleased to be honest. He could've done a lot more, but it was the first day.

We're not going to change his mechanics. He's a hitter. He'll hit.

It's good to come over and get consistent at-bats. I like guys to do that.

He's matured a lot from spring training to now. That's great to see. He's been awesome, working his tail off every single day. It's been paying off. He's a guy you want to see coming up when you have a chance to score.

The group of people here in Odessa are super as far as track. I enjoy that, being with them and watching the kids compete.
