Dusty Baker Trouble Quotations

He's going to hit. You don't usually stop hitting, and if you do, then somebody's in trouble, because a lot of hits are coming.

I think the main problem was he couldn't feel the ball in his fingers. I guess it's cold, and the ball is a little slicker when it's cold, and he really couldn't feel it. Consequently, he starts trying to drop down, different things to try to command the strike zone, and he had trouble commanding the strike zone.

We had Roger in trouble a couple of times, but we managed only one run. Roger knows how to pitch, and he knows how to win.

Big Z had trouble feeling the ball. He couldn't feel it in his fingers. We were hoping to get five innings out of Z and then go to the bullpen.
