351 Quotes by Felipe Alou

I never saw him loafing to first. He used to run hard every ground ball, every fly ball, ... It was amazing the way he played the game. Because sometimes you just don't feel like running hard when you think it's going to be an out. If you see him before the game, you didn't believe he was so tough a player. He used to play hurt every day. Used to complain he didn't sleep. But when the game started, he was just marvelous.

He's fine. I took him out in hope that he'll be OK tomorrow. It was cold out here.

I'm not waiting on his swing. I take that for granted. The thing is running the bases. He ran better than in spring training and in the last month of last year. At this time last year, he was limping and complaining about the knee. It's much, much better than a year ago, or in spring training.

I'm not used to this thing -- acquiring players. So now I'm waiting for more.

He was OK. Not his real good outing. Nevertheless, he kept us in the game even with the early runs.

He was one of those five-tool guys. He could throw and run and hit with power, everything. He was green, 20 years old, a big kid. He made some mistakes. But we knew he was going to be a tremendous player, an MVP-type of guy.

I'll answer it tomorrow. It's been a very intense game. ... All the drama hasn't sunk in yet.

I'm counting on him. He understands. He's not throwing the ball well. He better (be ready) because I'm going to bring him in to save the game.

He was really tired. I don't expect him to play. Also, this outfield, you see young guys slipping and falling on the grass. I believe, all things considered, No. 25 won't see any action tomorrow.
