Baker did a good job pitching. (She was) consistent. The defense backed her up pretty good.
Nelson Mccullough
This is basically an all-star team. I was pitching against a lot of guys I grew up watching.
Chad Orvella
That was great pitching from both guys. They're the top two pitchers in the county.
Landy Faedo
We got all the facets of the game - good pitching, solid defense and timely hitting. The kids came with the right attitude, played hard and competed well.
Ryan Short
With a breaking pitch whispering across the outside corner.
Michael Kay
It seemed like every pitch he threw today was on the corner. He just did a fantastic job.
Kyle Nelson
The absolute worst way to hunt elk is off an ATV, ... There is something about the pitch of an ATV that's just wrong. They are much louder than an average passenger vehicle or 4-wheel-drive vehicle.
Gary Hubbell
You could say he is like a twelfth player for us on the pitch.
Pavel Nedved
My style of pitching was to make the other team hit the ball, but on the ground.
Carl Hubbell
We played well in the first game, we just couldn't come up with the big hit. Eric was just dominant pitching today and gave us a big lift in the second game.
Andrew Bradley
She caught almost every pitch last year. We plan on giving her a break every now and then to let (Sarah Beth) Gillis catch a little.
Billy Lyon
I've always been big on pitching depth. In grades 9-12, we've got 12 pitchers. We feel fairly confident playing three or four times a week.
Chris Fenske
Jessica kept her composure and is getting stronger each game. There's a lot of learning to pitch at this level and she's improving every time she's on the mound.
Holly Brown
They want to use me for whatever they want, probably long relief, pitching day by day.
Fernando Nieve
That was typical Bagwell. You're never safe, even if he hasn't seen live pitching for two years or two months.
Lyle Overbay
He's hot, and I think the thing he's doing exceptionally well is swinging at good pitches. He's patient up there, and when he gets a good pitch, he hits it.
Calvin Baisley
I'm going to be honest. I felt good when we got a run across because Shelby was pitching well today and the defense was playing well.
Don Mcgeary
I felt very confident pitching to him. If I make my pitch, it's a different story. And if he doesn't make the adjustment, it's a different story.
Roberto Hernandez
I just got too many breaking balls up. It's kind of tough. It's a pitch I need to keep working on, but I don't want it to keep beating me.
Brad Hennessey
Sandy did a great job pitching, but defensive-wise, we had too many mental mistakes and errors.
Jennifer Reyes
I made a bad pitch to Lee in the first inning, and then it started to become a struggle.
Shawn Estes
It was like, 'OK, I can't do it pitching, so here I am with the bat.' I was trying to stay loose and I was seeing the ball well, so that helped a lot. That helped keep my confidence up too, so there wasn't a total damper on everything.
Randi Rainwater
This was our first game, and we had not seen live pitching coming in. I thought as the night went on that we grew in our pitch selection for hitting.
Jeff Hulse
I had Brandon Hoyte running downhill at me. So I had to pitch the ball.
Andrew Stanton
It's my first time throwing out a first pitch. There are no nerves, though. I'm ready to go.
Travis Buck
We're in good shape pitching wise. We're hoping we can hit the ball better this year.
Diane Laffey
I can't feel comfortable trying to (pitch) it in two months.
Chris Hoffman
We had a couple of guys who weren't going to throw in that game. We started (freshman pitcher) Ben Paxton, a kid who has been a solid kid for us, and he just had a bad night. We got down early, and they can really pitch.
Chris Finwood
We are still looking for someone to step up as the No. 2 pitcher. You're not going to win many high school games giving up the number of hits that we did today. Everything in this game hinges on pitching, and we didn't have it.
Todd Coffin
My pitching philosophy is simple - keep the ball way from the bat.
Satchel Paige
We know it's going to be a close game when we play them. I knew I needed to come out and pitch a good game and hit my spots.
Brooke Ross
He's going to try to be careful with me and he's only going to give me one pitch to hit, ... In that situation, I can't miss that pitch.
Javier Valentin
So far, I've been very pleased with the pitching because of other than Rivers and Ford, we really didn't know what we were going to get. Defensively, we're really solid and the offense has been productive up to now.
Mike Giovinazzo
I'd love to be out there to pitch, ... That's what's killing me. I'd love to be out there to be a part of this team and help us break this little funk.
Jeremy Bonderman
That's two teams going at it. Just seeing guys go about it for 18 solid innings, and not give up one at-bat, not one pitch, it's pretty amazing.
Joey Devine
We just ran out of pitching in the tournament and he hadn't pitched all year long. It was kind of one of those bottom of the barrel type of things.
Kenny Simpson
Coach asked me if I wanted to stay out, and obviously I?m going to say yes. There?s only one day a week when you?re going to pitch.
Dan Delucia
Aubrey pitched well. No matter who's pitching, they'll put it into play.
Tony Terry
I've got all my buddies calling and telling me, 'Nice job,' and I didn't do anything. They're all giving me crap, [asking 'Are you going to get into these games?' If we don't pitch, we don't pitch. We'll ride these guys' coattails if we have to.
Cliff Politte
We have to take our hats off to them. It's tough, because they swing bats well, too, and when you get good pitching and swing the sticks like that, good thing will happen. And that is what happened for them.
Dru Mahoney
Seems like (when) Ian (Viola) gets out of that first inning - he's been pitching real well.
Wayne Yancey
To that point, we were playing focused defense and got much better pitching. The offense just wasn't aggressive.
Dave Heise
We got what we basically needed. We got a great pitching performance from Mock to keep us in the game and figured out how to get some runs late and hold them off late.
Bill Plummer
If I were pitching it in Hollywood, ... I'd say it's `The Out-of-Towners' with a brain transplant.
Bruce Campbell
We pitched well in tight games. Pitching and defense were our strengths today.
Kyle Crookes
I'd be really happy if we didn't see (Sheets) pitching against us in Nashville again.
Mike Quade
The last pitch I threw to Michael Young, that was about all I had left. I wanted them to call that a strike so bad.
Josh Beckett
That's the best I've seen Sara pitch. She was very focused ... I don't think she got tired, but we've got to find a way to finish games.
Alena Nardinger
We did some good things. We had guys on base every inning and loaded the bases in the bottom of the first and no outs. (But) our hitter goes after a bad pitch and hits into a double play. Then the next guy grounds out. To me, that's a mental mistake because you don't go after pitches like that, especially with no strikes.
Pete Porath
He (Coleman) was much better than his last outing. He showed that he can pitch at the Division I level.
Smoke Laval
His whole career is he'll walk some guys, but he makes the big pitch to get out of the inning.
Bob Melvin
I decided to take one and slap at it to draw them in. Then I swung on the next pitch.
Ashley Wilson
We pitched well for four innings. The sad thing is you have to pitch well for nine innings.
Mike Hargrove
They told me with a little bit of pitching and little bit of guidance, they're going to be a good team.
Terry Pendleton
In all honesty, it was one of the better games I've seen Whitney pitch in her career here. She was hitting her spots.
Randy Osnes
Will you pitch to Bonds? That's what everybody asked me.
Bruce Bochy
Pitching, we don't have it.
Tim Hulsey
When Mel came up in 1964 in the middle of the season, I was his pitching coach, but I was also pitching every fourth day besides. Yogi Berra was our manager. That's why it was all screwed up.
Whitey Ford
We needed someone to pitch, and I said I'll do it.
Sean Burroughs
Alyssa (Neilson) was tiring late in the game. That was obvious. She has been throwing a lot. She has had some high pitch counts in recent games and it was beginning to show.
John Bilella
I felt real good out there. I threw a lot of fastballs and the fastball was down. That's going to be a big pitch for me. I had to get the feel for it. Today was a good start.
Horacio Ramirez
Everybody has to realize, no matter where you come from, coming out of high school and pitching pro ball is a big step.
Jim Rooney
I expect Harker to pitch that many innings if not more.
Dave Daniels
It gets me prepared and gets me to the point where when I get my pitch and I lay out my swing, I don't have to think about the mechanics. I just focus on hitting the ball.
Jonathan Fulton
One morning, there was minus 18 (degrees Celsius) and I was forced to train on a synthetic pitch without any medical assistance.
Michael Thwaite
With the other batters stepping up, it's allowing for everybody to get good pitches, and [our opponents] are not pitching around people. It's also good knowing that if I'm struggling this weekend, the other hitters in the lineup can pick me up. That's a good feeling.
Kristen Butler
I think it's all a coincidence. I've pitched some poor games here and got a no-decision. But just give me the ball. I don't care where I pitch.
Jamie Moyer
It was fun. I'll have to get used to it. I'm probably more nervous doing that than pitching on the mound.
Taylor Buchholz
We did a nice job of driving the ball today. Our pitching, plus the five extra-base hits were big.
Bob Atwell
That's the concept of team. A great team has all the pieces — pitching, defense, and hitting.
Amber Hall
It's all about developing that trust, so I know that I can take my drop and pitch it and they're coming out of their break and going to get it. It's like anything else, it's getting reps and reps and doing it over and over until it gets...
John Stocco
Why shouldn't we pitch to Babe Ruth? We pitch to better hitters in the National League.
John Mcgraw
I?m pleased with the pitching performance. We did a nice job of hitting our spots.
Alan Knight
[Pampered pitchers:] How about all these 6-foot-4, 230-pound guys who can't pitch more than six innings? ... How about the nonsense of 'pitch counts?'
Tom Gorman
I'm getting pitches to hit and swinging. Once you get your pitch, keep swinging.
David Ortiz
Hopefully, it'll be another pitch that's a lot more usable for him. It can be a serviceable pitch, something that might be able to get him a few easy outs over the course of a game.
Rich Dubee
We're certainly playing better. Our pitching is better and that gives you a chance to win any game. When your pitching is better, it gives your offense a chance to just go and play offense.
Tom Slater
He has not bowled as yet. The pitch is still good for batting. We will have to work very hard to get them out twice.
Shahid Afridi
It's just a shame that I had to work so hard to get through the innings and get my pitch count up so I couldn't stay in the game a little longer.
Brandon Backe
It was really exciting for us to get our bats going like we did today. Everyone really contributed today. We've been focusing on getting in the box and getting a pitch you can do something with and we really did that today. And we keep reducing our strikeouts with is nice to see.
Melinda Fischer
The pitching looked good and the defense looked pretty good. It took a little while to get our bats warm, but we hit the ball from the get-go — we just hit it at them.
Brad Pocklington
Early on, there is more of a chance of me being in there early in a game and maybe a little more frequently. But that doesn't really change my approach. I think we're all still counting on [the starters] to find a way to pitch into the later-middle innings, so to speak.
Pete Walker
But he's on a pitch count, and I let him build from his previous game. I actually probably shouldn't have let him start the seventh, but he talked me into it.
Kevin Edwards
We did struggle on our pitching. They're actually veteran pitchers. I don't know. It's our third ball game, and they just have to bow up and play with us. That was a good bunch of girls. They fielded the ball well.
Dana Smith
We got good pitching and solid defense against Bethel Park. We just didn't hit.
Larry Wayman
I think one thing I learned [in 2005] was keeping the pitch count down. Just keeping the ball down at the knees.
Casey Fossum
He was unbelievable. He's pitching great. Now he's starting to get comfortable and get into the flow of the game. When he came over, he hadn't pitched that many innings. Now he's getting into a groove and really commanding the inside part of the plate.
Gerald Laird
He didn't try to do anything extra. He just went with the pitch and did what he had to do. That was a great piece of hitting with two strikes.
Keith Mitchell
It's not just us. He's crushing everybody. We try to pitch him a certain way, but he's a real good hitter. He'll hit good pitches, he'll hit bad pitches.
Adrian Beltre
They get out there, one guy blows a pitch pipe and they start singing.
Robert Ruggieri
I went up there trying to get three, but after the first pitch I tried to just hit the pitch.
Jillian Ortega
It was a pretty good one-two setup. They're a well-disciplined team, but we had good pitching and good defense.
Mike Bozich
He was making good pitches and really hitting his spots. That's a tough lineup over there. I don't know if he can pitch any better than that.
Steve Rothchild
I like to watch people pitch and see their batting averages. I also like watching people hit and run the bases.
Colter Dixon
The Dominican team is very good and has a lot of offense, and so does Puerto Rico. So do we. It all depends on the pitching. As long as we keep pitching, we will do well. So far, it's been good.
Carlos Subero
It's definitely great to get two wins going into a big weekend. The wins have given us momentum going into this. We just have to hit hard, pitch well and hope for the best.
Matt Fealey
Lacy has been huge. You can't pitch without a great catcher. She's been there to help me through the tough times. On the field, we've developed a great relationship. We have a great connection on the field.
Catherine Bishop
It's just a matter of everyone relaxing and playing consistent. You have to put hitting, pitching and defense together.
Jeff Messer
We have to pitch better. I have to pitch better. I don't care what the score is when we come into the game. Our job is to get outs. We didn't always do that against the Padres.
Julian Tavarez
If there was any magic formula, it was getting to pitch every fourth day.
Sandy Koufax
The biggest thing was that I didn't get behind much. After I got up 1-2, 0-2, I was able to throw that little junk pitch up high and I got them to chase a couple.
Matt Watson
We had great pitching today. It was good to pull the second game out. We had a lot of opportunities to score and we need to be more consistent overall.
Laura Watten
It was absolutely devastating. When she got hit, she was pitching very well against a very good team, so it was really upsetting to see something like that happen.
Olivia Mauro
There was talk of a trade with Brockton, but it fell through. It would have been nice to get a chance to pitch in front of my family and friends, but I'm just excited to be playing again.
Kevin Brower
I wasn't the six-foot guy that fits pants perfect and all that. So my pants always came up right in the middle of the calf and I just said screw it, because I don't like pitching with them all the way up (to the knee). I had a good year and kind of stayed with it.
Brian Tallet
We haven't had a lot of those innings all year. We know we can pitch and play solid defense, but when we can get innings like that, I like how this team looks.
Greg Mcvey
I would rather beat the Yankees regularly than pitch a no hit game.
Bob Feller
Even in our darkest days we talked about the fact these are players who have talent. The veteran pitching has kept us going. It's been phenomenal.
Tim Purpura
With the pitching the way it's been going, if we keep getting the hits, we're going to be unstoppable. We can beat anybody in the MAC.
Lauren Clark
He is a great hitter. He hit my best pitch. Give all the credit to him.
Ryan Madson
This team is playing really well right now. They are a very good hitting team. Their pitching is doing extremely well right now. It?s definitely going to be a good contest.
Jamie Pinkerton
You have to re-learn how to pitch. The difference is astronomical. Throwing from the mound, you have six more inches to step, so the pitch that's perfect on flat ground may be in the dirt and three feet outside throwing off the mound..
Tommy John
I was just trying to attack him, especially after the error. I got strike one on him but he just stuck the bat out there and got it up in the air on what I thought was a good pitch.
Andy Graham
I've been lucky to get a chance to pitch. It's been great following (Beverly).
Mike Cisco
They have changed the pitch of the slope. The work hasn't impeded scrimmages or football games.
William Martin
I thought we picked it up as we went along. I know I felt better about my pitching after the first inning. I gave up a couple of hits early, but Eryn called good pitches and we were able to mix it up.
Katie Aaron
Jim Leyland, in my career, has been the best manager at running his bullpen. He's been the best manager at going out in the outfield and asking his pitchers how they're feeling every day and not having the pitching coach worry about it.
Matt Mantei
Katie did much better in that game. Her pitching has really picked up the last few games.
Greg Shivers
A lot of our freshman from last year that we had to utilize, they now are getting used to the pitching. We've been making our hits count.
Joey Estrella
If I had the answer, I would have done it two months ago. You've got to go out there and keep pitching and be aggressive and try not to lose confidence and believe in yourself.
Jason Marquis
I was just trying to get a good pitch to hit.
Ryan Langerhans
It's not a pretty sight at the beach. But it only hurts when I go skiing. I'm less than 100 percent, but I can make a pitching change and argue with an umpire. And that's all I need to do.
Bobby Valentine
He is a bulldog. He is a three-pitch guy, and what impresses me is his ability to work both sides of the plate.
Rick Kranitz
I've always said that early in the season when it's cold it's important to score first. Pitching and defense are the name of the game, and we had both today.
Stan Cliburn
Overall, as a team, we had a good defense. We just need to work on our pitching. We're coming around slowly, but surely we'll get there. Once they saw that they could do it, they did.
Rand Baker
I was ready for it. Once I got up there, I saw the first pitch good and I was like, 'This is the one, right here,' and that's it. I felt it right off the bat that it was going to go out.
Diego Rios
He made a tough pitch, but I knew if I didn't foul it off, Jeremy was going to get hung up. I just did get a piece of it.
Greg Dobbs
I made a pitch this time. The other day I didn't. That made up for the last time.
Matt Herges
You just try to look at the glove. I don't care if there's 50,000 people behind that [cage], I just worry about the next pitch.
Mike Pelfrey
We have to start using our heads more. An 0-2 pitch and we put it down the middle. When she first hit it, I thought it was out of here.
Jim Oberdorf
He got the fat part of the bat on it. Other than that one pitch, I'm real happy with my performance.
Nick Ursitti
We hit the ball very, very well tonight and we got a lot out of our pitching staff. The kids came out and threw the ball very well.
Brad Pocklington
We are looking forward to it. They play football, they've got a great pitch, it's a derby match with pride at stake... it has all the makings of a cracking game.
Neal Granycome
We set our expectations high. We are frustrated with the entire weekend, with some of the mistakes we made in the infield and with the pitching. We have to pick up our intensity. Instead of being careless we have to get after it.
Brad Boyer
I thought the kids played really well. We hit the ball really well played great defense and our pitching was good.
Terry Stephenson
He's my idol. Growing up, I watched him pitch. Those are big, big shoes to fill. I know I have a long road ahead and a lot of work ahead of me to get where he's at.
Jonathan Papelbon
That one was tough on us. Once that pitch gets executed, you hope to have the chance for a big play. But it didn't and it got us in a big hole.
Frank Solich
Coburn could argue that he was needed to help promote President Bush's agenda. That same pitch would not work in the governor's race.
Scott Rasmussen
We made a few mistakes in the field, and we were able to pitch around that for the most part. That's nice to see.
Chad Epperson
It was 2-0 on the catcher and I didn't want to walk him. I made a bad pitch and he jumped on it. I had to take that chance, because I knew Ichiro [Suzuki] was coming up behind him, and I didn't want to put him on base.
Tanyon Sturtze
Our defense is much improved and our pitching is much improved. I can't say enough about them. We are a much different team now than we were a few weeks ago.
Dirk Williams
I don't think anyone expected he was going to pitch as well as he has his first four starts in the big leagues. I didn't anticipate the command and poise and amount of ground balls he has gotten. He has been a strikeout/ground-ball machine. Not a lot of guys get the ball in the air against him.
Bryan Price
The pitching was excellent. The pitchers definitely should've had a better outcome. We had two errors that cost us two runs, plus a couple of mental errors that cost us another run or two.
Paul Morse
If I did get called up, I'd get called up. I'd try to contribute up there. I was enjoying it down here for as long as I was here, for as long as I was pitching.
Craig Hansen
...You work that hard to get up here, and you think, one pitch and it could be all over for your son. Guys would die to be up here with their son. I get to be here with him, and he gets in the first game, and might not be able to play anymore....
Bill Hartley
We see a lot of good pitching. In terms of velocity and location.
David Horton
I was really happy with Alana Morris' pitching.
David Dachs
When she's on her game, we're pretty tough. We play pretty good defense. When we get that kind of pitching from Lauren, we feel pretty confident.
Tim Koerber
Microsoft's pitch seems to say that big antitrust cases have to take forever or they can't be brought, which would strangle antitrust law in a fast-moving industry. When you are weak on the facts and weak on the law, you pound on the judge.
Donald Falk
We have to pitch better.
Julian Tavarez
You hate to put your team down that much early, but I can't say enough about our offence. I am fortunate to be pitching on the right days when they have been scoring all those runs.
Tim Wakefield
I said at the beginning of the season, I hope they implode the stadium before somebody does (pitch a no-hitter).
Bob Forsch
I was watching how he was pitching to Michaels. He was throwing a lot of balls inside. That's what I went up looking for, a pitch inside, and that's where he threw it.
Jhonny Peralta
We've got to keep performing. The batsmen played well on a docile pitch, but this one looks fresher and looks to have a bit more pace in it so we'll have to be on our mettle.
Vaughn Johnson
With the offensive lineup that we have, you can afford that, to squeeze something like that in, ... If you can get a fly-ball catcher to hold the fort and support the pitching staff, you won?t be doing yourself an injustice.
Brian Cashman
I really had the opportunity to throw the pitch I wanted to throw in the place I wanted to throw it. He has to come hit my pitch now. That swings the whole momentum in that at-bat there.
Dr. Tim Johns
Nolan Ryan is pitching much better now that he has his curve ball straightened out.
Joe Garagiola
There's a chance he'll pitch for us late in the second half. We're cautiously optimistic for a full recovery.
Lonnie Soloff
It's been our Achilles' heel all year long. We have one of the best pitching staffs in baseball and we just can't support them offensively.
Ron Gardenhire
He has improved as a person, as a professional. He is so much better prepared. He minimizes mistakes, knows what he has done wrong when he does it. He's essentially become his own pitching coach.
Bob Apodaca
I think our starting pitching will do pretty well. Those two guys will be strong for us.
Mike Daboul
It was a lazy pitch caused by lazy defense.
Paul Twenge
The guy was very aggressive. It's not like he was pitching around everybody. We just couldn't do our job.
Jose Vidro
They chose to walk Carl. He had been tough all day long, but he left a pitch up in the zone to me and I was able to get it down the line. It was a good feeling.
Russell Branyan
It just seems like I pitch very well until one inning, ... It's always a one-inning thing. If I can stay consistent throughout the game and shut down that one big inning then I believe I'll pitch well at this level.
Dustin Mcgowan
Our pitching has been consistent all season. We just got to continue to play and win.
Mick Nunez
We were one pitch away from missing the playoffs. I wish there was another way, but with 13 teams there is no other way. In two or three games, anything can happen.
Tracy Powell
One through 9, our lineup is solid. Our pitching is good enough, the middle of the lineup is picking up and the bottom of our lineup has been solid.
Mike Fazio
Our pitching was real strong, only giving up one hit in the first six innings. You can't ask for more than that.
Mike Dunphy
We had pitching in the first game, but the hitting wasn't there. We got the bats alive a little bit in the second game, but we couldn't keep it going.
Michael Arensdorff
All I want you to do is pitch.
Brandon French
I just want to pitch a good game.
Curt Schilling
There is always pressure. You have to go out there and try to pitch your game. I try to do my best.
Kitty Kelley
He (her father) figured out I'm not going to see anything on the inside and if I did, I could still turn on it. It seems like that's just what teams do because they figure you are weaker hitting the outside pitch.
Ashley Hanewich
Everyone can always improve with their pitching. This was a good place for me to start again to get ready for the Big Ten games coming up.
Megan Roark
I felt as good as I have in a long time. When I was missing, I was missing down. The one pitch I left up was the triple. That nearly cost me the ballgame.
Brian Lawrence
I hope that isn't the best I pitch.
C.c. Sabathia
I'm sure that energized Buffalo. Liriano was pitching well, and then boom!
Rich Miller
We've been getting quality pitching and timely hitting. Everyone plays a role.
Michael Mciver
We've been swinging the bats, and we got decent pitching, two nice pluses to have.
Dave Moates
Morgan hit a good pitch, I thought. He hit it a long way to the opposite field. [On Ausmus' homer], that [pitch] I wanted more away from him, but it wasn't.
Jason Isringhausen
The pitch has not changed character at all.
Anil Kumble
Let's hope it works out where we don't have to even think about that. There's more combinations that can happen where I don't pitch Monday.
Matt Clement
I made a bad pitch and he did what he was supposed to do with it.
Derrick Turnbow
Offensively he's hitting toward his strengths. He's not pulling every pitch. He's doing his job.
Andy Dennings
He's an awesome player in a great organization that needs pitching.
Jeff Jefferson
I wasn't sure if he was going to pitch (tonight). He tweaked his back lifting weights and it was 50-50 if he would pitch.
George Horton
With our offense not really here early in the season, we're really emphasizing pitching and defense. I told Timmy to keep the ball low and make them hit grounders, especially on this infield. There are no bad hops.
Mike Sealy
We struggled a little bit on the mound. We'll be OK, we're still kind of experimenting with pitching.
Marty Paulsen
Katie and (catcher Eryn) Richardson did a great job. Katie was hitting her spots and Eryn kept them off balance with the pitch selection.
Denise Ainsworth
