Quotes about coreys (8 Quotes)
I am really pleased with Corey's performance. She did what she needed to do to get ready for next week. The pressure was off of her today and she could just focus on doing the dives that she was capable of without any consequence. That was a big thing in helping her be consistent today. She also added to her confidence heading into the NCAA Championships to be the 3-meter champion from this zone.
We've gone as much as 10 deep (players off the bench) in games and Corey's really stepped up for us.
I didn't feel we were out of the game, especially after Corey's home run. The key is if you are going to give up five going against Andy Pettitte, you can't give up any more.
When Corey's energy went up in the second half, it was very obvious. When we don't play with that hunger, we're not the same team.
Corey's still with us, and our obligation is to do what's best for the Cubs. If I felt putting him in a deal makes us better, I'd consider that. I would always keep in mind what's best for him, too, after our long relationship.
As I said earlier in the week, Corey's a good player and his personality fits very well in our locker room. He's a talented player against the pass and the run. We're happy to take this step to keep him in Philadelphia.
We've have chemistry that we've been building with him not playing, so we're trying to fit him in. People can't be so critical of him. I mean, let him play three or five games. Corey's a great player, but he hasn't played in three months, so you've got to give him some time to get back into the swing of things.
