It’s always going to be a challenge to keep the strikeouts down with the personnel we have. We’re trying to get those numbers down. But when you’re scoring the most runs in the National League,...

When Wily Mo sees the ball well, he makes good decisions as far as balls and strikes. Wily works at it. He wants to get better.

I wanted him to see how balanced Albert is. He keeps his head so still. That makes a big difference as far as seeing the ball.

I saw bat speed right from the beginning. After you’ve got bat speed, my job is to get him into position to use the bat speed. That’s what we’ve worked on, proper positioning, stay down...

We can’t change it now. Obviously, it would be better if he was playing.

The main reason I showed him that wasn’t even about copying Albert or anything. It was more the balance part of it. Albert has great balance. His body is not jumping and that means his...

It’s out of our hands. But it’s not the ideal situation.

His bat speed is as good as I’ve ever seen it. But it isn’t a matter of getting back to where he was 13 years ago. It’s a matter of being the best that he...

What he’s doing now, he has proven he could do that over his whole career. He has worked hard to get back and now he’s happy, healthy and used to playing the way he always...
