Terry Francona Quotes

«They had this thing kind of mapped out. I don't think this is a real deviation from the plan. I just think they wanted probably to test him further with better hitters. I don't think he got challenged a lot (in Double-A). They let him go through the order more than once. I think they wanted to have him maybe face a little better competition.»
«I'm sure he could help us right now, but I'd never say that to (general manager) Theo (Epstein). We get him up here and use him once every four days or, you know, this kid needs to be what he's doing right now. This is the best thing for him. At some point, that will probably translate into him being here. But we need to be patient and let him do his thing.»
«It was getting better. A couple times, the last couple of outings specifically, they saw that slider that everybody had been talking about.»
«He had a career night. I wish he had it against somebody else. He got three fastballs in the middle of the plate and got his arms extended on all three. That?s a good night, that?s a lot of damage.»
«You run into nights like tonight, when you don't have an answer for anything they're doing and it only gets worse.»
«He was very erratic. He was feeling his asthma tonight. He was shaky, but fought it off. He gave us everything he had.»
«He can run into a problem, all hitters do. But I think the best chance for him to do some damage is to play a little bit.»

Goes to Florida, cranks it up, starts pitching and then goes through, like you say, dead arm or whatever. Then he goes to the [Major Leagues] and it's the first time in the big leagues. ... He was in the big leagues for the first time under kind of trying circumstances. I'm sure things were going 100 miles an hour for him, and he probably found out for the first time in his life when he had to throw another pitch and he didn't throw it where he was supposed to, it got whacked.»
«I think he's hoping, if everything went well, he could be walking without crutches by the All-Star break. Then he could maybe start coming around on an everyday basis. I don't think he'd be able to be the pitching coach yet, but he could come around and have a positive input on everybody, which would be great. I think he really misses being in uniform.»
