We've got more arms than we've had in a long time. And the thing about it is they are good. We've got some guys who can really pitch. It's going to be an exciting year from a pitching standpoint.
Jamey Shouppe
On the pitch, he could beat everybody. Off it, he couldn't beat himself.
George Best
I just try and go up and make contact. In that first game, every pitch just looked like a beach ball.
Kevin Black
She's settling in, really, and I think we'll see her pitch very well the rest of the year.
Gary Hennip
That just tells us that, hey, we can win these close games. It just gives us a little bit of confidence in our hitters because we know we have a good pitching staff.
Conrad Brooks
You're missing someone who should be high on the list. Al Lopez knew pitching. He knew when a guy was losing it. He didn't take the pitcher out after he lost the lead; he took him out before he lost it. He was a catcher and knew the game. He's first on my list.
Jerome Holtzman
It's going to be a good series. We still have to pitch and execute. They've got the best offensive team in the league by far. But we've shown we can beat them.
Rick Burleson
That's what makes (Sammons) so good. He's always around the plate and he can throw any pitch at any time in the count.
Clay Mccammon
He may have felt like he had to carry the team. Today he got back to pitching like he can, pitching to spots and changing speeds.
Ted Jarmusz
It was his game until he gave up a run. You don't get too many opportunities in the majors to pitch a 1-0 shutout.
Ron Gardenhire
I try to pitch every game like its the last game I'm going to start. I want to leave an impression.
Dewon Brazelton
We can shake off a pitch, but we usually don't. If we are not confident in the pitches being called we just talk to the coaches about it in the dugout after the inning is over.
Taren Tuley
I feel like I've got one good pitch in my arm and I don't want to throw it out before I get there Tuesday.
Joe Hegler
I kind of like that. I'll play wherever the team needs me to play. I think I'm more of a middle infielder, but I can play outfield and I can pitch. I like pitching. It's good to have the game in my hands.
Joey Cabret
Everybody's frustrated. It's been tough on the kids not to see live pitching.
Aaron Misasi
Our pitching has definitely carried us. All three go out and compete and give a chance to win on most nights. For the time, Bryce was out there, he was pretty good.
Ashley Burnett
Our pitchers did an excellent job. I am very pleased. We made several adjustments in trying to pitch to their outstanding hitters. We did a good job of that.
Todd Wilkinson
For the first six innings we were totally in control of the game against the No. 1 team in the state, we just didn't make the play or the pitch we needed to win the game.
Sean Linville
He was on again tonight. I don't know if he was quite up to snuff because I've been pitching him (a lot), but he threw well again. That's what we needed.
Vince Keister
We've got almost all our pitching back, the same guys back hitting the ball. We've got good players all around.
Butch Walters
These are like playoff games. Every game, every pitch, is so important now.
David Bell
This is an amazing opportunity for me. I would love the chance to pitch against guys like (Derek) Jeter, A-Rod (Alex Rodriguez) and (Ken) Griffey.
Scott Mathieson
It can't be frustrating, because it would affect how I pitch. When something happens, you wipe it clean, and you let the guy know that it's all right. We are going to live again. We are going to have another shot.
Billy Traber
TI has their foothold in lots of these markets already. It is looking to take the same basic technology and pitch it to a bunch of very different customers.
Idarose Sylvester
He's been pitching well. David's a guy that's matured since last year and really stepped up.
Dennis Braun
It was pitch black. But I was honored to work under such adverse conditions.
David Grossman
Dani looked very good tonight. She was in complete control after the first inning and really only had one bad pitch in that inning.
Yvette Girouard
He doesn't usually pitch that much. But he came to play tonight and really came up big.
Michael Bridges
I knew it would come. Everything felt right; 94 is OK, but 90-92 is good, too, as long as I make my pitch, hit my spot with it.
Rafael Soriano
People made out I was very, very greedy and was asking for an extortionate amount of money. That was never the case. I asked to be put in line with the top earners at the club and I was not offered that option. I value myself a lot higher than what the club offered me. I think my performances on the pitch have proved that.
Joey Barton
I'm excited about our pitching. The difference between this club and last year's club is that we have a chance to be OK on the mound. With Cooper and Price back, the addition of those other six has really strengthened our staff.
Bill Kinneberg
They kids swung the bats, didn't they? We got decent pitching, too. Those are nice pluses to have.
Dave Moates
I always feel more confident when my team goes out and scores runs like today. They were on fire today, so it was easy to pitch.
Megan Roark
And I think there are folks in the White House ready to receive that pitch.
Manuel Miranda
Not that early in the season do you have a game like that dominated by pitching and getting out of jams. That was something to be this early in the season.
Will Flowers
I've got a kid six years old. He likes sports, but I definitely won't let him pitch. There would be too many things against him.
Gaylord Perry
I just missed the pitch before that. He threw me a curve ball and he actually jammed me a little bit.
Shawn Scobee
I feel like I can pitch at the major-league level and I think they know that.
Kevin Correia
We have been swinging the bats pretty good. They are real short handed up there and they don't have a lot of pitching depth and we knew that going in.
Kyle Poock
He took a heck of a dump when he made the play. I'm grateful that he'll be back for baseball. Thankfully, it wasn't his pitching arm.
Jerry Mortimer
I know Jerry's amazing, and I realize he's better than I am now or ever was. But they disrespected me, and I was definitely thinking about it when I went up there. The pitcher's very good, and his best pitch is his fastball. That's what I went up there looking for ? and that's what I got.
Jimbo Davis
When they hit the home run, I just took a deep breath and said to myself that I could get back to pitching. The game plan was to go right after them.
Sean Morgan
Leo certainly knew his pitching -- don't get me wrong. But McDowell can relate because he played.
Travis Smith
I've been playing baseball a lot. I also come because I do pitching lessons, too.
Cameron Mcintyre
In both games we got some great pitching. We also made some great defensive plays.
Dave Heise
I think Maggie was a little off. This was the first game in the heat, and it bothered her a little. But I told her this was a 'pitching win.' It's easy to throw when you have your good stuff, but she really gutted one out to keep us in the game.
Jeff Zanger
He's been on fire. We've been facing good pitching and the kids have been competing. That's all I ask for. We've been swinging the bat well. It was nice to see us get some two-out hits.
Dave Griffin
He saved us at least two runs. Pitching and defense wins big ball games.
Bob Shinkan
From the first to last pitch, I thought we played with an amazing confidence.
Terry Francona
We can't keep letting good pitching performances get away.
Jack Mckeon
I'd say it's a pretty big loss for us. He was well on his way back to pitching for us again.
Bobby Pierce
A guy who can get in the right area on the north end of Kissimmee, and fish up shallow with a Horny Toad, and have a bait to pitch behind it when they miss it, like a Senko, will probably win it.
Bobby Lane
He came in after the fifth and asked for his pitch count. I told him it doesn't matter, you're not coming out.
Sean O'neill
We didn't pitch very well. We weren't consistently throwing strikes, and things piled up.
Billy Traber
I love relief pitching, I truly do.
Clem Labine
Their pitchers did a lot more location pitching inside, outside, high, low and that threw us off. They got the strikeouts when they needed them.
Stephanie Reichert
You couldn't say more about this team, ... We have been taking a beating because we haven't been pitching shutouts but, that being said, we got it when it counts.
Peter Vagenas
Greg is a move-in from Oregon who can pitch and play third base. Plus, he's a left-handed hitter.
Todd Genke
If I knew he would pitch like this, I would have started suggesting him the second game of the season.
Gil Patterson
Over the last few years, Juniper [Networks Inc.] launched an enterprise router, 3Com [Corp.] launched a couple of routers, but there really isn't a clear No. 2 router vendor [after Cisco]. If you're going to pitch the end-to-end message, they had to do something.
Zeus Kerravala
We had started him early and he had some hard luck as far as not getting the break. He'd pitch well and we don't hit. We wanted to see at giving him a different role. He's been very, very good about it.
Joey Estrella
Talk about pitching a great game. He's mixing in his breaking ball and his changeup just enough to keep them off the sinker at times. Brandon, when he's got that sinker going like that, he's tough to deal with.
Bob Melvin
I missed 2? months, but my knee is fine. The only bad year I can say is last year because I didn't pitch that much. Bad year, good year, I take it because for me it's baseball.
Felix Rodriguez
When pitchers are pitching well, they're repeating well, physically and mentally. I don't know about the mental part of it, because I'm not in [Hudson's] head. But physically, he gets out of sync, and it takes him a few batters to get it back.
Jerry Narron
He threw a first-pitch fastball. I was looking for it, just wanted to start us off on a rally.
Corey Ross
I don't bat an eye at stuff like that. I've had my share of wins. If I worried about the games I should have won, it would probably drive me crazy. It was a fun game to pitch in.
Roger Clemens
He had a really low pitch count - he was in the 40s when the game ended.
Brian Joros
One bad pitch. It's discouraging. I guess sometimes it's going to happen. But unfortunately it was a big game for us.
Dustin Hermanson
That sophomore year, when I had to pitch every game, that made me step up a level.
Kelly Dyer
I try to not to think about the pressure. I don't want any more pressure on me. I just want to pitch my best and then put the ball in their hands. That way I can make the team by pitching my best.
Adam Wainwright
I think the pitching in our region (VI) was better than it has been in past year. That's why I'm happy with the way we've hit this season.
Barry Hatfield
Against these guys, as far as I know, you have to go after them, ... Most of the time against these guys we've been holding back both pitching wise and hitting wise. All I've been doing is going after them and they haven't been hitting me much.
Harold Williams
We had a decent day pitching, but the errors killed us.
Sid Wheatley
I'm glad we turned it around from what we did last year. We got some nice pitching performances. Our pitchers did well today and we are hitting really well.
Jerry Kramer
We've been hitting the ball better but our pitching is giving us a chance to win every game. That may the hardest Kyle has ever thrown. He was outstanding.
Scott Justus
It doesn't change anything for me, the goal is still to have the guy healthy and ready for April 2. The biggest thing is we don't have to push him. If we can get Cordero pitching in a game by March 10 or 12, I'll be happy even if it's a 'B' game or a Triple-A game where we can monitor what he's doing.
Mark Connor
It apparently was a similar type deal. They operated the same pitch, the same approach, no matter the government level.
Dennis Patterson
We just didn't make the play or the pitch we needed to win the game. You're not a human being if that doesn't sting.
Sean Linville
Brandon and Colby are one and two; they're sort of interchangeable. Both are outstanding and both will give us a win whenever they pitch.
Alex Cherney
It's become a lot better, it really has. That's a key for us. Our pitching has also come around and it keeps coming around a little more. We keep adding guys to the cycle. If you are going to pitch, then you have to be able to catch the ball. Then you'll have a great chance to win. That's where we're at, and it's good to see our defense come around.
Gary Mcclure
Safety is the biggest issue we have, ... Power is out in the downtown area, it's pitch dark, and we have downed power lines everywhere.
Margaret Murphy
I'm really happy with our pitching right now. We had a few defensive lapses, but you have to expect that this early. We didn't hit the ball well, but we did have some timely hitting. That's something we didn't have all year last year.
Chad Spalding
I saw him throw 97-98 [mph]. A second pitch will be his big objective.
Jim Fleming
I'd like to think it will move into a dynasty. Hopefully, it all turns out. This is going to be so fun. I'm not going to say we're going to win every game. But these kids can rake the ball. And it's the deepest pitching staff I've had. I don't know if we're there yet, but we're close.
Tom Graham
It's just a bad night, and it's water under the bridge now. If I let that bother me, I'm (in trouble). I know I can pitch at this level.
Clay Hensley
We are just taking it one pitch at a time, one inning at a time. We are actually drawing closer.
Brandon Mcarthur
He threw the ball real well. He came in a crucial situation. Still, there are a couple of things that frustrated me. Maybe it's too early to expect perfection. There was an 0-2 pitch for a hit off Mike. Mike has to understand that location is so important for him.
Jamey Shouppe
I didn't really have the two-strike pitch where I can strike a guy out and get out of an inning.
Joe Kennedy
It helps with the experience, and it helps to pitch against hitters like that.
Scott Mathieson
He's got 50-something varsity games under his belt. He's seen a lot of quality varsity pitching.
Cody Robbins
I know I can pitch. Health and arm strength are the most important for me.
Kyle Snyder
This was a great win for us. East Bay is a quality team and Glenn (Rodriguez) always has a strong hitting team, so for Kristen to hold them to five hits is very good pitching. Our defense also did great to back her up in the field.
Mike Clamon
I knew coming in it was either going to be one of those days where I struggled, and I was going to have to sit out there and eat up innings or I was going to pitch good.
Shawn Chacon
Katy was hitting all her spots. She was able to pitch it inside and outside.
Ron Whitehurst
Brett turned in a very impressive performance. He knows how to pitch. Getting out of the fourth without allowing a run was huge since we only led 3-0.
Jerry Dawson
(Russ) made a couple of mistakes and they made him pay for it. He got under a few balls, I thought. But he's going to pitch good for us.
Chris Maloney
Yeah, I would like more pitching time, but our (starting) pitchers are doing well, so wherever I'm needed, wherever there's an opening.
Kate Robinson
They hit the ball today. Our pitching didn't miss many bats. We moved in, they'd flop it over the infield. We moved guys around. They just hit the ball where we weren't.
Kevin Hare
(The curve and the change) set up my fastball and that's what an out pitch should do. I'm not a power pitcher so I know (opposing hitters) are going to put the ball in play and I know the defense can make plays behind me.
Jeremy Baker
That?s still not the Travis we know. He did OK. He needs to improve -- and will improve. His pitch count did get high and maybe he got a little tired.
Brian Chenger
We're a little bit of a guinea pig, but I think that's great. The sport has been hurt by the fact there are so many factions. We're all pitching in together. It's a great day for tennis.
Butch Buchholz
Ray Ray could do my job in his sleep. Anytime there's a pitching change he'll run up to me and tell me I have to announce this guy -- he's on top of it more than I am most of the time.
Kevin Casey
Chas did a heck of a job pitching. He had control of his pitches and was able to put the ball where he wanted to.
Donnie English
One day I overheard him talking to a bunch of the hitters on my team in the dugout, and he said, 'Well, the pitch I really have trouble with is up and in.' So that's where I'd go with Clemente.
Juan Marichal
It's great for the offense to break out and have everybody pitch in. It can't just be one or two guys. Whoever is swinging the bat has to do it.
Geoff Jenkins
Sometimes that's a case where you might take a pitch and see if he goes 3-0, but in that situation against a guy like that, you want to try to get a fastball. He threw a good pitch to hit and I was able to capitalize on it.
Bobby Kielty
It was a fastball down. No pitch is ever exactly where you want it, but that one wasn't belt high, right down the middle. It's not just Chipper. It's all those guys. You can never relax against them.
Steve Trachsel
This was a nice win. This is the way fast pitch softball should be played, by both teams.
Chuck Huggins
I think the whole pitching staff has done the job but I think the bullpen has really stepped up as of late.
Gary Powers
You just have to be ready to go. Hopefully you have a simple approach and not try to do too much. You try to get a good pitch to hit and let it come to you.
Jason Ellison
He brings enthusiasm and freshness. Physically there's been a big improvement in the last month or so. What he needs now is quality time on the pitch.
Adrian Foster
We just want to continue to keep our rhythm going. We've been hitting the ball pretty well but even behind that we are making good defensive plays and the pitching is getting better.
Byron Myers
This was the first time I've ever hit in the first inning, so to get a hit and be a part of the fun was kind of cool. It's not real difficult to pitch with a 15-run lead, but I'm happy with the way I went about my business.
Jamey Wright
You kind of take away some of the hope some of the teams come in to our ballpark having [with big innings]. It gives our pitcher some comfort in going out there and pitching with the lead.
Matt Bransfield
The first game was just a case of good pitching beating good hitting.
Shane Showalter
We played a very solid game pitching and defensively with no errors. Now, we just need to get a little more consistent offense going again and put it all together.
Shane Schueneman
I can't believe I won. Two years ago, I didn't know if I was ever going to pitch again.
Chris Carpenter
We're always looking for left-handed pitching.
Dan O'dowd
Michael White is probably the most-decorated pitcher to every pitch fastball.
Denny Bruckert
We would like to cut down on the strikeouts, but that will come through facing live pitching. We just didn't put the ball in play when we needed to.
Kris Kalivas
George Burley is his own man and is responsible for the players he puts out on the pitch.
John Borthwick
The first couple of innings we couldn't shut them down. That was the difference. Give them credit. They hit the ball well. Our pitching has been pretty good for us. Today we struggled a little.
Matt Collins
Last year, I put [the changeup] on the back burner because I thought I could always throw it, and it cost me. I'm going back to what got me to the big leagues. I'm not going to re-create myself. The cutter might be the pitch of the millennium, but it's not something I'm comfortable with.
Lance Carter
I told Barret the good thing was that he held his composure and that we didn't have to get him out of the second inning. He really didn't pitch bad.
Jamey Shouppe
Who?s going to pitch in relief? That?s our biggest question right now. We?re auditioning.
Mike Daboul
I don't like it. But what can I do? I want to pitch every fifth day and they know that, but it's not my call. I'm not the manager.
Javier Vazquez
We've seen them a lot, we know what they have. And they have good pitching. It'll be a battle.
Mark Haley
Pitching is our biggest improvement from last year. But, the team's attitude is a lot better, too. The team chemistry has improved, and that shows in everything we've done so far this year.
Kyle Magnusson
Not if I was pitching a shutout.
Johnny Podres
It also helps with our pitching, too. We'll be able to save some guys, and that's huge for us.
Ryan Kelley
It's a great honor for any pitcher. He pitched well, but he's got to continue to pitch well.
Steve Jaksa
It's tough, especially when you sit through an entire game and then you have to go in and hit, but I don't mind it. I was kid of shocked, really. I was warming up to pitch and then I got called to hit.
Lindsey Greer
We hit the ball better today and got some good pitching.
Mark Marquess
I've never seen anything like it in a girls fast-pitch softball game in my life. Seeing back-to-back in a girls game was amazing. And we had a good first, too. It was wild.
Tracy Brookover
I feel like I'm ready to go out there and pitch.
Brian Bannister
Perez hit that ball, but it wasn't like he actually knew what was coming. He just reacted to it, threw the head of the bat on it and it hit the wall. I made the pitch I wanted to, and he happened to hit it. He's a strong kid.
Pedro Martinez
All I could say was, `Wow,' ... It's one thing to stand here and say, `Everybody's got to step up,' but it's another thing to do it. These guys did it. ... Every pitch, every at-bat, every ball that's hit is important. It's not hard to get into the flow and realize these are the playoffs now.
Shawn Chacon
The arm strength is getting up there for our pitchers. This is the part of the year when we can get a lot more guys more innings. We're deep pitching-wise.
Mark Gulseth
Derek?s been on the hot seat defensively, but it?s not one individual?s job to stop an opponent. We?re collectively supposed to pitch in. He feels right now like he?s on an island.
Patrick Fox
His out pitch is a fastball. You have to have a third pitch at this level.
Mike Frosco
We want to pitch it, pitch it, pitch it. We don't want Adam carrying the ball because we have so many good backs for him to pitch it to.
Dave Adams
Mike had no choice but to call the game off in the end. I was standing in the technical area and at times I couldn't see across the pitch.
Kevin Ball
All our opponents are now playing the same way. They opt for a very defensive set-up with seven or eight players packed on their side of the pitch.
Robert Pires
We played pretty good baseball Monday. We got some key hits and for the most part, good pitching.
Luther Bramblett
It's not something I'm used to [doing], but it's still all about making a pitch.
Bryan Bullington
We started hitting the ball a little bit in the second game, laying off the high-rise pitch and hitting into gaps.
Todd Verwers
That's a gift from God. I'm there to pitch.
Carlos Zambrano
It was kind of in the family. I started pitching a little bit and my uncle said I was pretty good.
Jocelyn Forest
Anybody's best pitch is the one the batters ain't hitting that day.
Christy Mathewson
Joaq's real good at the pitch.
Scott Thomas
The pitch has been in a bad way all season and hasn't had time to recover. It hasn't helped us.
Dave Carroll
He can be the Barry Bonds of this league. He's dominant and he can make everyone else better. They won't pitch to him.
Al Gallagher
It's an opportunity. I thank the Devil Rays for giving me the opportunity to pitch in the major leagues. Now I have another opportunity with the Dodgers.
Lance Carter
Olivia Mauro did a really nice job coming in as relief and containing them. That's the kind of performance we're looking for from our pitching staff.
Leslie King
I threw the [pitch] high, just not high enough, ... If I could have made a perfect flip, it would have saved us a run.
Kevin Correia
If you look at it like a pitch-hitting at-bat, its going to be tough.
Rondell White
I was confident I could throw that pitch for a strike. He froze on it. If I could drop that ball in there, we're not even talking about that pitch.
Jeff Francis
We didn't compete today. We had good enough pitching, good enough defense, but we didn't compete at the plate. You don't beat teams with three hits.
Duane Zauner
One key is how I handle the pitching staff and get the consistency at the plate. I feel our defense will be there, but we will need timely hits.
Patrick Foster
It's hard to pitch this much early in the year but by the end of the season, I'll be used to it.
Brittany Stanley
We played better in the second. We just didn't pitch well.
Mike Federico
We've come a long way. We've improved our pitching, improved our defense a little bit. It's still disappointing since we only have eight (wins), but we're going to try to get a winning season with the five games that we have left.
Terry Newton
We have a very deep pitching team. There are many that pitch very well. Today, I think he pitched a good game.
Hirofumi Oda
A&M came out here determined and did a great job. Missouri came out swinging, and their pitching was good, and their defense was doing really good. People come out here playing harder.
Tina Boutelle
It's always tough to overcome something like that, but the bottom line is we have to hit and score runs give our pitching a chance to hold up.
Josh Stern
We've got to have great pitching and defense.
Shaun Wiemer
Pitching for Sacramento last year I threw a pitch and, on the follow-through, I hit my elbow and lost feeling. I threw two more pitches, but I didn't know where the ball was going.
Billy Sylvester
I think we've got a good club. I think we're going to have a good offensive club. Potentially, we've got some really good starting pitching and good arms in the bullpen. It's a good-looking club.
Chris Maloney
Any 1-2-3 outing feels great. Pitching effectively, that's the biggest thing. . . . I never set a number on how many saves I want to get because that feels like a limitation. I just want to do my job.
Billy Koch
We owe Michael a huge debt of thanks for pitching in at the last minute for Page.
Diane Raver
Felix will not pitch for Venezuela. We felt it best that given his youth and inexperience that it would be far better for him to be with our club in spring training.
Chuck Armstrong
I asked myself, if we opened the season with Atlanta and had 3-2 games every day, will this man be ready to do that, pitch in the ninth inning? In my mind, I say yes, he will. I could see him doing that.
Grady Little
I'm always excited, ... Pitching in the eighth inning, in games like this, it can't get any better than this. I like to show emotion; that's my natural style.
Akinori Otsuka
It's tough for guys who are as competitive as McCulloch is to stay focused when they are up 10-0. It's tough for him to pitch in that situation, but we took advantage of the opportunities they gave us.
Buddy Gouldsmith
This area was great for the groups who had a planned picnic. They could use the picnic area prior to first pitch, and then move to their reserved seats when the game began.
Ross Vecchio
I looked forward to the opportunity to go and pitch every five days, see what I'm able to do and do a good job, ... and they're confident and gave me the chance to pitch an important game, like today.
Pedro Astacio
I think once we get the pitching thing figured out, we'll be a tough out.
Jason Pires
Jack Chesbro was one of the best pitchers in the game at that time. He was known for his spitball. Cobb took the first pitch. Then he hit next pitch into the left-center gap.
Dan Holmes
They give you pitches to hit. It's just a matter of hitting that pitch as opposed to fouling it off and having to deal with something else.
Nate Schierholtz
The home run shouldn't have happened. I left the ball up. I threw a bad pitch on a count that he was looking for. The other two runs I should've had the ball hit up the middle.
Preston Guilmet
I think everything was working for her. She got ahead of the batter. I think she got the first strike on them and made them hit her pitch.
Sharon Sipe
He's been the best catcher we've had in the 15 years I've been here. He brings that smartness to the game as well. He really calls the whole game and he handles our pitching staff well.
Mark Vogel
I don't feel like I'm laboring, ... I'm just concentrating on that one pitch and letting things happen. I'm trying to use the defense. I haven't really thought about (start to start). I'm just focusing on the now.
