“If the Earth could be made to rotate twice as fast, managers would get twice as much done. If the Earth could be made to rotate twenty times as fast, everyone else would get twice as much done since all the managers would fly off.”
Norman R. Augustine
“When healthy, he adds a veteran to the rotation, a lefty in our park, and a strong presence in the clubhouse. And with the depth we've added to the pitching staff, we can afford to let him come back at his own pace.”
Jon Daniels
“We could not get back-to-back double [teams] because if they did, they passed the ball to the rotation and made the threes.

Jim Calhoun

Wandy Rodriguez

Bruce Bochy
