Quote: Willie Randolph’s Post-Game Remarks
Following last night’s win over the Nationals, Willie Randolph had the following to say while speaking to reporters about:
…Johan Santana, and whether he earned his money tonight…
“Well, no, he should have had the cycle…(laugh)…he would have really earned his money then…He did enough. He pitched a good ball game, settled in and did a superb job.”
…Carlos Delgado, who hit sixth in the batting order…
“CD hit the ball sharp. You know, every one really needs to be guarded when they start talking about guys being finished and done and slumps of that nature. We’ve talked about this before, in that, it’s not always the end results, it’s not always 0–for-this and 0–for-that. He’s hitting the ball pretty well, so it was a good night for him. He’s gonna heat up. He’s gonna have a good year for us.”
…playing a more small-ball style tonight…
“Tonight we manufactured some things. We used our speed. I had the guys on contact in normal situations, because sometimes you’ve got to just force it a bit. We’re always gonna come at your with speed, but tonight we just tried to push it a little harder…Sometimes you’ve got to do that to get yourself going.”
