Joe Torre Ground Quotations

He's getting a lot more comfortable throwing the ball. His range is what it is. He has quick, good hands, but I think the throwing part was something he didn't appear to have a lot of confidence. Now, he doesn't hesitate. He picks up a ground ball and throws to second.

He does things that drive hitters nuts. I've never seen a pitcher get so many ground balls back to the mound. That's all about movement.

There I made the decision to put Bubba in to cover more ground. Covering more ground cost us the game.
