He knows how to put a hitter away.
He can throw to both sides of the plate with all his pitches. If there is a way to get a hitter out and he knows it, he can execute it.
Shows you how talented he is. Last year he won 15 games ... re-establishing himself.
You can't always do what you would like to do, so you just hope the situation presents itself. You're aware of how much they're throwing, how hard (the starters) are working. That influences what you do. But we're still going to play the games and try to win them.
It was not a close call at all, simply because Marquis can be tremendously valuable to us out of the bullpen.
We'll see what happens Tuesday. If (Marquis) can get a couple innings on Tuesday, that would line him up for Saturday and then we'll see what goes from there.
We want to keep Marquis live, ... It's a possibility, a good possibility. It's an idea we've played with.
I thought last year was a miraculous year for him. And he definitely earned my respect last year as to what kind of pitcher he was, what kind of person he was, what kind of competitor he was.
If we know who we're playing (in the playoffs), ... that could be a start (for Marquis).
