Mike Fox Quotations

I live probably three to five miles from the fire scene and I could see the fire when I left my house.

We've been trying really hard to get more quality over quantity because we limit our field. This is the time of the year they're starting to crank it up.

He's pitching with a lot of confidence now, and that's part of why he's performing the way he is. His command is better, and hitters can't just sit on a certain pitch.

He just had a last-minute complication. It's a 12-hour drive round-trip and that was asking a great deal. He was hoping to be able to do it, but another situation necessitated other circumstances.

It appears that the county was the object of a grand scheme and a con,

It comes down to this principle: No one takes better care of your community than those who live in it.

That was the best performance of his career, and he's had some pretty good outings for us. I told our guys about the third or fourth inning ? 'We may only need just a couple runs here.' He was just so calmed and relaxed and repeating that good delivery.

We've made a lot of advances. We won our first game, which was a big step.

Yeah, we want John to be leader. We want John to go as far as he can go.

You know, Andrew is not Superman. He's fallible just like everybody else. He's not going to go out and just mow everybody down. If you had the opinion that it's Andrew Miller against Duke and it's just going to be like a knife through hot butter, you're not paying attention. Baseball is too hard to play, and you've got to give Duke more credit than that.

You have to be prepared for the unthinkable and, in this case, we were not prepared. Every community in America should use this as a wake-up call,

We believe it's a valuable organization to have in Butler County,

With hundreds of workers that we have in the building working daily almost around the clock, we'll have the building ready for public experience come the weekend of the 19.

What a story Henry is - going from third base to their starting rotation. He's just been unbelievable. He just doesn't walk people.

You never know what pieces you're going to have. You're dealing with the draft, and you just don't know how kids are going to do when they get here. There's just so many variables out there that you can't control.

This isn't something that is going to go away by next week. We are going to have these families in our community for some time to come,

Almost every hitter swung at a ball in their at-bat, and that changes the whole at-bat when you swing at a ball. It changes it drastically. We were fighting ourselves a little bit too much -- not being quite relaxed. Maybe some of that's me, and some of it's just trying too hard. I'm not sure.

This is too important and too fragile to play games with.

It's great for us, great for the league. Great exposure. It's exciting.

It's great to see because Benji is such a hard worker. He loves the game and really takes a lot of pride in it. That kid is ready to play every single day, and you can't say that about every player. But Benji Johnson is ready, and he was certainly ready tonight.

Daniel had a ball hitting this fall, and I don't think it took away from his pitching at all. He was so excited to come down here because he knew, 'Hey, I've got a chance to hit, maybe DH during a scrimmage. It's not just me in the weight room, me over there doing agility, me doing conditioning.' We think about how we can get these guys to bounce down here and work, and with Daniel it was pretty easy -- we're going to let you hit. He was like a little kid in a candy store.

It's cross-cultural, it's very spiritual. It reflects the gift that Muhammad (Ali) speaks of oftenthat we all have within us to be able to give something to another in order for that person to meet his or her potential.

It was hectic. There were people throwing belongings out the windows. In the middle part of the structure, there were people that were bailing out and they said, Oh man, we got out just in time.

It has to be more sophisticated than hoping or praying it doesn't happen,

But in addition to our desire that he get the position that he deserves is our desire that he change his position on this. We have so many projects and programs that could be started with just the little bit of federal support.

He's just around the plate all the time, and that keeps our defense ready. I don't think the hitters ever really feel like they're ahead in the count. He just gave us a big lift today and a big outing because, gosh, we needed it.

How could a kid with that great an arm ever lose confidence? Oh my gosh. He's just so blessed.

The last two and a half weeks have gone really well. The team has really been getting along well. We have a lot of returnees and the fall is always a good chance for us to see the new guys. There has been a lot of energy and excitement, and we expect the fall to be a lot of fun.
