Tony La Russa Quotes

«Albert's award was well deserved because he was the most valuable player to our team across the board, as soon as he showed up to the ballpark until he left. His value went well beyond statistics.»
Author: Tony La Russa
«In the eighth inning, we missed our location three times, twice when we were ahead in the count. We almost caught a break -- Cabrera's ball was tagged, but it fooled Walker. That would have been an important break to catch. Matt got the ball up with a 1-2 count, and the pitch that Delgado tripled on wasn't where Ray was trying to throw it. Against good clubs in key situations, either you do or you don't, and if you don't, you get penalized most of the time.»

«We're mostly try to get to the finish line first, as soon as possible, then if we can do that, we're going to try to get to October as ready as we can. We're not trying to make a start for Anthony Reyes. We're trying to take care of those two priorities. If it turns out that we want to lengthen out the rotation for some reason, Anthony's a great guy.»

«That's the reality of the postseason. You have to deal with it, and you can't give in to it.»

«I don't necessarily think you can separate the two. When you come into a game with a big lead, absolutely the worst thing you can do is to walk guys. That's the only time I'd yell from the dugout - whey they walked somebody. So when you get behind a hitter in that situation, it's more likely a ball catches too much plate.»

«It's a better setup. We could have made an adjustment and pitched Matt tomorrow, or Supp tomorrow, whichever, but it's a better setup for us.»
Author: Tony La Russa
«I believe Major League Baseball is here in force. I know what they tell us about certain latitudes you get in postseason play because you're supposed to be emotional and try and win this.»
Author: Tony La Russa
«I happened to watch it on TV. That doesn't merit an ejection. He didn't say any magic words. He really didn't make a big thing of it.»
Author: Tony La Russa
«A lot will depend on what's Matt's opportunity. He may find a better opportunity, more money somewhere else. I don't want to drop a guilt trip on him. We'd like to have him back, but can we afford him?»
Author: Tony La Russa
«Depends on your memory. My memory is not at all about the World Series and his base running. It's about how he pitched in Game 7 of the [2004] NLCS, how he pitched in Game 4 of the [2004] Division Series.»
