The lefties that we're speaking of, they're all very different. We're all going to be able to feed off each other. If a team has trouble with lefties, they're going to have a tough time with us. Even if a team hits lefties well, they're not going to see the same kind of lefty every day.

Jason's a guy who had a very, very live ball a couple of years ago. He probably doesn't have quite the same stuff, but he still can be effective and we'll see where he fits in. Statistically, he's definitely a guy you want to match up against lefties, and that's a role that we'll look at.
I think Mike Gallo did a wonderful when he came back from Triple-A last year and carried us down the stretch as the only lefthander. It would be my preference to have two lefties, but that's not set in stone.
Throwing from the third-base side, I wasn't able to consistently get balls inside (to lefties), especially with how far I throw across my body. The difference isn't just in the fact the results are different, but I just feel like I have more command to the outer half against right-handers and to the inside against lefties. It's not like I'm going to pitch like (I did today) every single time. But it gives me a better chance.
I can do it. Last year probably wasn't the best batting average, but I've hit the most home runs I've hit against lefties last year and the most RBIs. Now it's time to hopefully put it together.
I'm here to compare his game to mine -- we're both lefties. I'm just going to hang out and watch him go about his business today.
That was filthy. Of all the lefties I've faced this year, that's the best curveball I've seen.

Mike Lamb's had my number since he's come up, ... I didn't think he hit it as good as he did, but I've seen so many lefties who just flip balls over there in Minute Maid Park into those seats.
He started to make adjustments in September. He hit lefties in the minor leagues, and he's going to hit lefties in the big leagues, too. If he keeps the same demeanor, he's going to be real good.
His command of both sides of the plate was ridiculous. He really has a nasty cutter, and he was using it well against righties and lefties. He's tough enough as it is, and tonight he was extra tough.
Lefties have given this district fits for years. Hopefully Brandon can be like those guys.
It's a tough place to pitch - especially tonight, the wind was blowing out to right-center. They have some big lefties in their lineup. It's almost like you know you will give up home runs here. You want to make them solo, not let a three-run homer beat you.
He had good command of his cutter. He was getting strike one with his fastball and then cutting all the lefties in on their hands and just being able to stay on the attack. He did a great job of not messing around and making effective pitches.

I would've done it again. It didn't cost us the pennant or the World Series, ... It wasn't quite the Pedro Martinez versus the Yankees in the postseason decision, but I thought Towers earned it. Ortiz took Ted Lilly, Scott Downs and a couple lefties deep a couple days before that, so it's not a guarantee.
