15 Quotes by Calvin Baisley

When he had to be good, he was good. He got better as the game went on. He's a great competitor - that's his No. 1 trait.

I don't treat him any different. We don't do anything different for him.

He hit a lot of tremendously long home runs. I can only think of one that hasn't been just an absolute bomb. He hit a lot of very legitimate, long home runs.

He's hot, and I think the thing he's doing exceptionally well is swinging at good pitches. He's patient up there, and when he gets a good pitch, he hits it.

He's been consistent, but to his credit he's made a lot of changes. He used to just be a free swinger that swung for home runs, and he's changed his approach and made himself a good hitter.

He used to get himself out a lot of times. Now, he's hit several home runs on 3-and-0 counts. He's been very selective, swung at very few bad pitches.

Outstanding. He's a great competitor, and the thing is, he got better as the game went on. I think he could have went nine (innings).

The problem is, he's got a football scholarship. So that's going to be held against him.

(Tonight) was a good game. We made two bad pitches, and they took advantage of it. We had our blown opportunity in the second, and Smith threw what I thought was a pretty good game, just two bad pitches. Ironically, this was probably the best game he's thrown.
