We need a lift and Barry brings expectations when he comes to the plate. It will energize the crowd and the team.

To see Barry here, knowing he's going to go back to the same guy ... you never knew if he was going to ever play again. It's a good feeling for the guys.

We've got to be a lot more careful. Barry himself has to be a lot more careful. I know in 2004 there were many times when I didn't intend to play him. And he came over and said, 'Hey I want to play.' And then he played. I believe that this year that he and I will talk a lot more about when he's going to play and especially the day game after a night game, but I'll take anything over 100.

Most teams know Barry didn't play a lot in spring training. They want to find out how he's swinging the bat. The only way to do that is to pitch to him.

They pitched to Barry with a guy throwing 98, 97 mph. ...If that guy doesn't pitch to him, who will?

Mo's really not getting many pitches to hit. He doesn't have the patience of Barry Bonds .

I don't see Barry there. What is that? It's pretty good.

Barry was supposed to go four at-bats, but we had some long innings at night. I just didn't think one more at-bat or one trip to the outfield was going to do that much. He got a good workout.
