View Photo »He needs to give us innings, keep us in the games, do the things he's been doing since he's come back from his injury ... That's all we're asking any of them to do.
I hadn't broken camp with a Major League club since 2009, and I found out four hours before I went to the hospital that I had made the big club ... The reality is that this story was going to stay hush-hush, but [Rockies manager] Jim Tracy is an honest man and he gave the details when the reporters aske...
To sit here and you've scored 17 runs in the first two games of the series and you haven't won, gives you a pretty good idea of where we are failing
You've got to ask the guy down the hall (manager Jim Tracy) about that ... But I have always looked at spring training as a place where you work to win a job. ... At this stage it's all about progress, making a little bit each time. I feel I moved forward tonight.
We need our starters to give us a chance, to get deeper into the games so I can use my bullpen when I want to, not because I have to
You got to ask the guy down the hall (manager Jim Tracy). I’ve always looked at spring training as a place where you work to win a job.. It’s back to work tomorrow.
Jeremy was still somewhat tentative in a bullpen session (Friday) ... What Doogie (trainer Keith Dugger) saw strongly suggested that we don't move forward yet and even attempt to throw to hitters.
He walked right into (manager Jim Tracy's office) this morning and said, 'Here's what took place.' Then he asked Jim if he could talk to the team, went into the theater room and got up in front of everybody and said, 'Here's a stupid decision I made last night and here's what happened, and I'm sorry to ...
From the sixth inning on, we didn’t pitch at all ... It’s got to be better than this. It’s unacceptable.
That was the worst game of the year for us
Obviously, we aren't doing cartwheels with where we are, but I am proud of how we have competed ... Nobody is whining or complaining. We will continue to get after it.
It boils down to lack of fastball command. Right now, there is none
I didn't know that many people in Denver woke up that early in the morning, No. 1, and I didn't know that they all had a dog
Jeremy Guthrie was still somewhat tentative in his bullpen session yesterday ... He was scheduled to throw to hitters today on the premise that if everything went well, he would take the start on Tuesday in San Diego. He is not going to make that start.
I'm not expecting him to be some type of miracle man
Does [the lack of length from starters] grate on you a little bit? I'd be remiss if I said it doesn't ... We'll continue to work at this and get to the point where we get the group of people that are going to give us the consistent innings. For me, it's very safe to say that we've got a pretty good ball...
Four-and-a-third innings from the starting pitcher, roughly as many balls as they were strikes, and as a result of the outing let them back into the game and used more bullpen innings than starter innings
That was not a good starting performance
I'd give us A+ grades for everything we did, our defense, our bullpen, the way they held up, and the way we kept coming back ... I liked everything but our starting pitching. We fell short in that area.
You're ahead, 5-2 ... I did what I had to do, argued what I saw, and the next thing you know the game is tied and they end up taking a 6-5 lead with a four-run inning. That's what can't happen.
We had chances to win before Hinske got the chance to hit the two-run home run
The effort tonight, again, A-plus, that’s all you can say about it; we left it all out there. But the unfortunate thing as far as I’m concerned is when you face a starter of the caliber of Tim Hudson, to ding him as badly as we did in the first inning of the game and then let them get back in …

The epitome of professionalism, that's Chipper Jones for me ... He's a Hall of Famer with a Hall of Fame personality and a Hall of Fame character.
