We're a little bit nicked; we just have to get ourselves on track. Our pitching has been a little short of the mark, but I think we'll be just fine.

Pat Casey

The foundation of our club is pitching and defense. We have a core group of six or seven guys who we can give the ball to and they'll get us outs. We wanted to keep all our top guns sharp.

Pat Bloom

It's not just me being hot. It's everybody doing the job together. Everybody's getting on base. When you have runners on, you learn to do the job - whether it's two strikes, first pitch, whatever. It's not really me being hot. Everybody's having multiple-hit games. Everybody's coming around, and that's what we were expecting to have.

Ryan Baker

I was just being aggressive, that's all. I wasn't looking for any particular pitch.

Makoto Imaoka

I'm not on a sales pitch.

David Lynch

It was a slider that did not slide. It stayed right there on the inner half. A nice pitch to hit.

Joe Borowski

We're thin on the pitching staff and he just sucked it up for us. I just told him to go as long and as hard as he could ? and that's what he did.

Jody O'neal

It's essentially been our pitching. It allows our bats to relax and finally get going. We know our pitching will hold teams down until the bats get going. That's what happened in this game.

Dave Larson

This was a combination of two great pitching efforts. It's always nice to be a part of history. It's also a nice send off for us on the road trip. Hopefully it gives the players a lot of adrenaline and a lot of emotion.

Dennis Holmberg

It's huge. We can play with anybody in the state, at any level, with the pitching staff we have.

Bryan Huie

Right now, the 'no' people have really got off the ground. They're really making a very strong emotional pitch to people, and they are having some effect.

Paul Bew

What happens on the pitch stays on the pitch, it was a bit of handbags, that's all.

Wayne Rooney

Good pitching, good defense and timely hitting. That's what wins baseball games. We got everything today. A classic.

Jim Frederick

He's [Alan Shearer] the mother hen. He's got to look after them all out on there on the pitch.

Graeme Souness

Our key players will need to make key plays. It will be a test for our pitching staff and defense to see where we are at.

Doug Schreiber

I've always wanted to try a fast-pitch league, but I didn't know if it would go over. But I've talked a lot with Coach (Meg) Barnes about it, and I've had a lot of parents who have kept bringing up that it would be nice for us to have a feeder program.

Tom Hardges

He's pitching high school ball, but he really has that college and professional mentality. He is such a competitor on that mound.

Ron Fussell

I put it up on a tee. I needed to make a better pitch when it mattered.

Justin Lehr

It's important. When we started, we had Karim. We succeeded in the pitching [today] but failed on offense. We had an opponent who pitched us very aggressively.

Paquin Estrada

There is no doubt that someone who tries to throw a curve or pitch at any early age before he's developed, before his hand is big enough to grip the ball correctly, will damage his arm.

Robin Roberts

We worked hard on defense this week. We got another good pitching outing. Stevie pitched well and hit her spots.

Cynthia Zea

I?m sure there is going to come a day when someone is going to shut us down and we?re going to have to rely on defense and pitching.

Bill Langdon

I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it's something that's not super-serious and we caught it early. But that's not good. We need him. He's a big key to our rotation and pitching staff.

Tim Worrell

I have to worry about it because it's my job. You have to go there and pitch. You have big-league hitters you have to get out. I'll continue to work and hope to get better and better.

Pedro Astacio

We hit the ball hard all night long, and I'm very pleased with our performance. [Menendez] has good pop, can drive the ball and can turn on the inside pitch.

Bobby Diez

That's the fastest I've seen (Glaze) pitch this year. She felt good, her change-up was in there once in a while and we've got a good defense. Overall, this was by far our best game of the year.

Bruce Vandeberg

We had another good day. The biggest challenge was to maintain a good level of play after a strong weekend. We attacked early, picked good pitches and, as a result, our offense really clicked. Our pitching was strong again which is key.

Laura Watten

We still only have 39 wins, but every person on the roster was into the game from the first pitch on. We were coming off the bench giving high-fives. We had a good shot in the arm of life. The win was a big part of that.

Mike Sweeney

The knee injury was a setback because he missed pitching time, but skill-wise it was not a setback.

Chris Cassidy

You look for a pitch to hit in the outfield and get the run in. I failed to do it, ... That was our chance.

Matthew Lecroy

That was a very disappointing game against them the last time. We had it won. We really needed the confidence going in there with a win. We put the ball in play finally. We needed that as far as solid outing, good pitching and key hitting.

Bobby Kestory

I don't care if we're out of it or not, if I've got a chance to pitch, I want to.

Greg Maddux

It was a great pitch. There's only one guy in the game that could have hit it.

Jim Tracy

The guy is very loyal to his country and the people there. I know he wants to pitch in it, but he has to see where he is first. I don't think he'd do anything to jeopardize his Mets season.

Guy Conti

You know, he's one of the greatest pitchers of all time. Just to get a pitch up, out over the plate, and I connected - it was neat.

Brian Mccann

You cannot pitch in a ring a bantamweight against a heavyweight - you need to give us time, you need to help us to build up capacities, you need to give us the financial assistance.

Arvin Boolell

The pitching prospects really look good and I am very excited about that.

Jim Rise

He told me he'd probably do a minor cleanup and that I'd be back pitching in 2 ½ months, so I figured I'd take my chances. It didn't exactly work out that way. Four hours later, I woke up.

Steve Karsay

Pitching was our Achilles heel last year. I think it's gonna be a lot more consistent.

Pete Dunn

Billingsley is the best pitching prospect we've had in a long time. He's the real deal. He's going to pitch in the major leagues, and he's probably going to be good.

Jerry Royster

Right now both teams have staffs that are pitching great.

Robb Quinlan

I try to stay as low-key as possible, watch him pitch and eat some peanuts. If one person figures it out, they all do.

Jennie Finch

Our starting pitching has been outstanding. We expect it to be good; (Bowden) is going to give us a chance to win every time out.

Luis Alicea

Basically our players have matured naturally and they understand how to prepare every game. We have had great pitching depth and the key is that our defense has been good consistently.

Tom Bass

We don't have a whole lot of pitching depth. I needed to make sure no one pitched more than two innings, and that was our game plan to start.

Scott Bradley

They were taking and absorbing the best shot from every opponent. Everyone played at a fever pitch. It was one heavyweight fight after another.

Jay Bilas

I'm glad we're getting good pitching right now. Our offense appears to be in a funk. We're getting just enough offense to win games, but I'll take that instead of a loss.

Mackey Sasser

This was as good of a pitching outing by three people that I could hope for. We had the Great White Shark mentality I've been preaching about.

Dave Orzel

I wish I could talk to Satchel Paige and find out what he did to pitch at 50.

Koby Clemens

They were two great games...in four hours and 15 minutes. There was some great pitching on both sides. We we able to grind it out. We have to win those one-run games in order to get where we want to be.

Chase Tidwell

We're just not hitting the ball right now. I don't know if it was his pitching or us not hitting. Guys told me after the game they felt like they should have had more hits.

Jim Gaylor

We are very cohesive as a group. I mix chemotherapies, but I'm not above going out to empty the trash either. We have a great camaraderie. Everyone will pitch in. The people here are cross-trained. It takes all 33 of us to run the clinic.

Rene Dexeus

The goal was to improve our pitching. Right now, we're not where we want to be. We're not satisfied with where we are at the moment.

Pat Gillick

I felt great out there. My pitches did what I wanted them to do. My slider and changeup were about as good as they have been. I didn't feel like I was pitching on short rest.

Ryan Franklin

Because a click on a sales pitch feels a lot like a click for an educational opportunity.

Peggy Charren

He was pitching great, ... He doesn't need any more runs than that.

Brandon Claussen

He's pitching like a senior with leadership. We didn't give him much support, but we gave him enough.

David Mcginnis

I thought Mandy did an excellent job pitching. She kept moving the ball around, changed the speed up and kept them on their toes.

Suzette Hartvigsen

If he helps us pitch three or four games and we win, it will keep the bullpen continuity, ... It carries a lot more weight than if he were to pitch one game on Wednesday.

Mike Scioscia

I think we're strong all around. Pitching and defense will be our strength again with Courtney and eight other girls coming back.

Mike Allard

It would be great to get to face just one batter. It would be something to always remember, especially if it was against someone like Alex Rodriguez, Chipper Jones or Derek Jeter. And I'm excited about just getting to see the Rocket pitch from close up.

Kalin Dreyer

He was on top of it with that wild pitch. That could have been a bang-bang play, but he just took off.

Ron Gideon

I like the fact that he's a competitor. Mad Dog (pitching coach Mike Maddux ) said that when he warms up, he's kind of (relaxed) but when he gets on the mound, he's a different animal.

Damian Miller

It was a middle-in fastball -- my favorite pitch.

Patrick Hughes

If you want to get ready for the season, you have to throw in a game. Pitching against batters gets the adrenaline going.

Yusaku Iriki

We feel as though we have solid pitching. That's always a key in region games.

Leslie Jones

[Julie] has the ability to break a lot of school records if she can stay as consistent. She has made a difference for our team with her pitching.

Stacy Pondo

I wanted to give him my best pitch. I have to believe in my pitch.

Fernando Rodney

It's better when you have two people that kind of grew up together instead of two people who are kind of new and are just kind of pitching and catching out there, ... I know her strengths and weaknesses, and we both know what each other can do.

A. Johnson

There's a lot of swelling and bruising, ... but there's not really a lot of pain. I assume I'll be ready to pitch [Tuesday].

Josh Fogg

It seems it's always one or the other. Lately, it seems like my pitching has been on. Hopefully (the hit) will turn it around.

Ashley Hanewich

We just got out of our approach. The loss was disappointing. We have to finish it off. Our starting pitching was great (this weekend).

Dan Fox

By the way, you won't put that thing in about me wanting to have sex on a football pitch, will you?

Louise Nurding

Clark has a three-quarters delivery that seems to give him good movement. I think we will see some good pitching this weekend.

Arnold Gonzalez

I didn't feel comfortable at all. I had no control. I was trying to let them hit the ball so that I could keep my pitch count down.

Kelly Stracke

I try to use the whole field [during BP]. But I want to be ready for the pitch inside.

Robinson Cano

I don't know. Next time I pitch [at home] I will try to do what I did today. The only thing I have to do is have the same confidence. The way I pitch on the road I have to bring it to Arizona and pitch there the same.

Claudio Vargas

That's something we're going to have be prepared for. That's going to happen. If we keep (getting hits), then maybe they'll pitch to him.

Pedro Feliz

You know what, he threw pretty well (Sunday). He just didn't get the ball where he wanted. He made some bad pitch selections.

Buck Martinez

I was the one who made the mistake. He hit a fastball. It wasn't a good pitch.

Fernando Cabrera

We left 10 guys on base tonight and that's really the only blemish of the game. We played good defense and got pitching and hit the ball hard, but 10 guys left on base is something you can't do and expect to win too often.

Paul Kujak

It's kind of different because you've never seen him pitch before, never played behind him.

Jack Wilson

I give full credit to their pitching staff. They were ahead of us all night, but that particular at bat I got a fastball and got a good piece of the bat on it.

Trent Durrington

Today we saw some things that we needed to improve. When we clear up some defensive errors, our pitching will be even better. I think we can be a really good defensive team.

Megan Turman

Having a big game like I did tonight and having a game where I'm able to keep my pitch count down through nine innings is going to help out the bullpen the rest of the weekend.

Josh Cribb

If you don't pitch, you're not going to win, and we didn't pitch well at all.

Rayner Noble

Last year, I threw curves not even 10 percent of the time. This year, it'll be my third pitch.

Ryan Madson

He was a guy that they weren't afraid to put him in in any situation. He's definitely really good on left-handed hitters, and he just proved that he could pitch here.

Tom Hume

He basically has a patent on that type of performance. He's done a great job as a both a closer and set-up man for us before, so it was nice to see him pitch well as a starter, too.

Brendan Callahan

Pitching has been the key. But with top competition every (game), they know they have to battle every night and can't just go through the motions. The guys we've put in have stepped to the plate and done their job.

Bob Talpas

That's a tough question. Those guys are pitching pretty well against us.

Bryan Howard

He didn't quite manage to get his leg over.' - about Ian Botham, though admittedly on the cricket pitch at the time.

Jonathan Agnew

Hitting the ball the other way, and pitch selection. Being more relaxed at the plate and being more selective.

Robert Andino

He?s got to learn how to pitch. He?s got to learn how to pitch out of his own jams. You can?t relieve him all the time. I wanted to see if he could get out of there. Maybe he will next time.

Bill Masse

We had the better pitching today.

Maggie White

I think our biggest struggle will be our pitching.

Tanna Richter

I believe that Dana Brown is one of the best young amateur talent evaluators, especially when it comes to pitching, in Major League Baseball.

Jim Bowden

You take the experience from one game and take it to the next. You take what you can get. Luckily we got to save our pitching in this game.

Mike Shimek

We knew we could hit him. We just had to get out in front and sit on that first pitch fastball.

Bryson Bendall

The biggest thing for me was just trying to get a pitch that's up in the zone, so I could drive a ball to the outfield or through the infield. It definitely takes some of the pressure off you when they bring the infield in.

Robb Quinlan

He was an outstanding leader on the pitch, a good presence on the pitch and the kind of player who was infectious in that respect and really led from the front.

Iffy Onuora

The league is very balanced. Our squad is hungry to get over the hump and make some noise. That will depend on the pitching coming around like we hope. They have worked very hard.

Phil Kimmet

It was probably our most complete game we've played so far. I can't say enough about our pitching so far this season.

Paul Morse

We will need pitching, great defense and pressure on offense to be successful.

Chris Kubbs

I don't feel nervous or anxious. I just put a lot of pressure on myself. It's my first time. I just ask God tomorrow to pitch a game like I've always done.

Jorge Sosa

Justin understands the game and he understands pitching. I can look at him when he's out on the mound and he understands what I'm trying to tell him. He's learned a lot from last year.

Gordon Melerine

They're straight in the rotation. We have three games a week and they all pitch.

Lisa Herndon

You never like the first pitch to be taken deep. But it's not about how pretty it is, it's about walking off the field with a win.

Huston Street

This is really Fox's last chance to make his pitch, speak his piece. And after this he'll just be the guy that's there. ... but everything else will have shifted.

Federico Estevez

I slept all through the nighttime hoping that I would pitch well. It came true.

Joel Zumaya

They say the most important pitch is strike one. He struggled with strikes early in the count and got behind.

Matt Treanor

Here it is, hit it, ... Everything was hard, hard, hard, so it was get it ready early. I was looking fastball every pitch.

Sean Burroughs

We need to get solid pitching. I think we'll be competitive and learning all the time. The next couple of years should be their best.

Phil Amelio

I like our depth in the pitching department. We need to find a couple more offensive players. Defense should be solid.

Andy Rice

I'm surprising myself. I'm surprised at the way I've been pitching. This is the first time in my whole career that I'm pitching the way I'm pitching now.

Hector Carrasco

I thought we pitched well. We just needed a hit when we had runners on base. We made one bad pitch and that cost us.

Jon Deeble

The game was stagnant. That's the way fast-pitch should be.

Chris Terry

They have many dangerous hitters. Most teams have two hitters that you really worry about. With them you have to be very smart about how you pitch to every one.

Sid Cash

All the way through that series our batters used extreme maturity on pitch selection in what to swing at. We made some very mature decisions and that was the difference.

Sherrill Hicks

Pitching will become big again. The ERAs will drop again. The next 15 years, the game will be fun. There will still be home runs; weight lifting will be big. That's part of the game. But the days of 70 home runs are probably over.

Steve Parris

That's amazing, not to take BP on the days you pitch, and then to go out there and swing the bat like he does. He's just a phenomenal athlete. He has a lot of confidence in his swing. He also has a lot of pride in hitting, as do all the pitchers.

Bill Robinson

I'm doing the games, so I was going to be around anyway. I thought some of the guys might want to see live pitching, some breaking balls. whatever I can do to help.

Rick Sutcliffe

I think sometimes the guys get a little lackadaisical. I think every play and every pitch, you've got to be in the game. These kids are young and they're getting there. The more games the better.

Rich Lofink

Hook helped us get on top. From there it was all pitching and defense.

Glen Gardner

Our kids battled all night. I always ask our kids to do more in extra-inning games, and they did. We have a saying from the dugout to use your best swing on the best pitch. Albert did that and drove in the run.

Bart Britton

I thought I had him (Monroe) set up for a ground ball, but I made a bad pitch.

Clint Nageotte

We need to come out on every pitch. Coastal Carolina is playing well this season, and they are always tough to play at home.

Joyce Compton

If Spark had some time to loosen up, he probably would have gotten some outs. I've always said he could probably still pitch if he wanted to.

Brett Jodie

Every facet of our game was going well. It all starts with your starting pitching. Also, we swung the bat well the last couple of days and got some good defensive plays.

Larry Lee

The bats coming around to compliment our strong pitching.

Brian Gouin

A mistake pitch. I wanted it down and in, something he'd have to chase.

Victor Santos

That was a pretty good pitch he hit. I'd throw that one again and take my chances.

Jesse Foppert

Our pitchers just need to pitch and let the other team hit the ball, and more than likely we'll get them out.

Chad Artz

We got two great pitching performances today. They're usually going to put the ball in play against Mindy. We gave her great support in the field.

Leslie Messina

The only players that are having fun are those having a good year, feasting on pitching or blowing down hitters and garnering all the adulation that goes with it. But, if you're not hitting or not throwing well, or are injured, you better look for fun someplace else.

Dave Winfield

Whatever role they have for me is fine. I just wanted to prove to myself that I could pitch at this level.

Brian Bannister

We could hit. We had a problem with pitching. We had pitchers nobody else wanted. We would score a lot of runs, but we couldn't hold them.

Lee May

I hope the pitch helps us and it could give us the edge.

Nick Wilyman

I'm still very impressed with our young pitching. This is a very important week of baseball for us.

Kyle Mcduffee

This is definitely the best win of my career -- in anything. This was a big game. Griffith is ranked in the top 10 in the state. We knew they could hit, they could pitch, and they were good. We came out early on and got on them.

Matt Kobli

He just put the bat on the ball and did his job. If I had made a better pitch, he probably wouldn't have.

Chad Qualls

She pitched a good ball game. She didn't just throw, she pitched a good ball game. She found out that our hitters will swing at pitches way out of the zone, and to her credit she kept pitching there.

Joe Lee

Our main focus is the local areas but no matter where anything happens, we always try to pitch in. This gives us more capabilities to help with the local area.

Maurice Morales

It helps a lot when those guys are out there pitching well. If we can get then a couple of runs, that's usually enough for them.

Adam Coe

The market's recent rising pitch was a bit too fast, so it's logical that it takes a breather. But investors are still eager to buy on dips.

Takahiko Murai

They have solid pitching throwing in the 70s and they are a good defensive team that doesn't commit many errors. They can hit the ball well and make good decisions on the bases. They are a sound baseball team.

Mike Blair

We changed our offense a little. It's a motion offense. It's penetration and pitch that we implemented to try and get fouled a little bit. We try to get the ball down inside to Rucker and run through him some stuff so he can kick it back out. He can score inside and they have to double-team him.

Doug Foote

We just get our pitch, that's it. You've just got to be patient. ... It certainly helps when everybody is hitting around you.

Patrick Hughes

I'm at the point now where I'm pitching in sequences; I'm pitching in sequences of two and sequences of three. It is not about my mechanics and it is not about my stuff. It is about competing.

Chris Bootcheck

We were more aggressive at the plate. We came out hitting and the pitching was more what we were used to.

Tyann Copeland

It's just a tough lineup to pitch to. I just couldn't believe they kept hitting the ball out. I mean, I can believe it because I saw it, but I just didn't think, when I threw those pitches, that was the result that was going to happen.

Seth Mcclung

All those things that we talked about a month ago; pitching, defense and offense. We didn't have them all put together a month ago... right now we've kind of put our entire game together.

Darin Loe

We got some timely hitting. The kids played well; we did get some offense and strong pitching.

Bob Lung

Bailey could pitch here (Great American) right now.

Chris Sabo

We had some chances today, but when it comes down to it, it's the pitch I made to Ramirez. I just look back at it and I'm mad at myself. I let that pitch get away from me. The loss is because of me.

Dan Haren

I am only going to say one thing and then I am done. We can beat 15 men on the pitch but we can't beat 16.

Iwan Tukalo

I just wanted Emily to finish it up. She has a little more pitches and (Sam) was getting tired. She doesn't pitch as much.

Theresa Carroll

We have great pitching depth. Our pitchers have gotten a lot of positive experiences. I wish we were playing every day.

Dave Farr

It's ABC baseball — get 'em on, get 'em over and get 'em in. Our pitching has come around pretty good. Our infield is pretty solid. Everything is coming together pretty good.

Matt Carter

Being in close games helps me stay focused. It helps me pitch better and keeps the pressure on me.

Fallon Lumpkin

The people surround the pitch, under the sky or under the floodlights and that it's it. It's really like an instrument of perception. You cannot only design a building to make it beautiful. It has to really work well with the huge crowd that is using it.

Jacques Herzog

I have a good fastball and I'm sure he is looking for that. I got beat on my second best pitch, something I shouldn't have done.

Matt Thornton

We had the bases loaded after they had an error. Then the wild pitch scored a run.

Carl Fuller

Our defense and pitching was where we needed it to be.

Marissa Chovanec

When you have pitching, hitting and defense, you will win. And today we had two of the three with some timely hits. Today was extremely important to us with a big district win.

Scott Gerlach

I think every time he pitches, he's more emotional than he shows. Part of his pitching is that he gets up for these situations.

Charlie Manuel

We just haven't put it all together in the same game. If we pitch well, we don't hit. If we hit well, we don't play good defense. One of the three phases of the game has let us down for one reason or another. If we can get it all in the same game, we'll be as good as anyone else out there, we just have to make it happen.

Jeff Todd

Really I'm just getting ready to pitch, whenever that is.

Jeff Suppan

The art of living easily as to money is to pitch your scale of living one degree below your means.

Sir Henry Taylor

You want to get that third out as quickly as possible. It was a pretty good pitch, but he hit it well.

Chad Gaudin

I was looking for that pitch, a fastball. I didn't try to do much. I just tried to hit the ball.

Claudio Vargas

I know that I can get Major League hitters out, so I've got that going for me. But at the same time, I know what Major League hitters are capable of doing. I've thrown some good pitches and seen them hit it. I just need to learn to pitch a little bit better than I already do.

Dana Eveland

[Thomas] leaves when the pitchers foot hits the ground. I can't square up till I see him coming. He got a great jump; he was there. The pitch was at my chest but I got it down.

Marc Besteman

Our pitching was really sub-par for both games. They hit four home runs off us for the day, and we got behind in the count constantly.

Casey Feroglia

It was enough. It's always exciting to pitch in games like this. I'm just trying to make the most of it. The bottom line is we won.

Jon Lieber

Games like tonight are real frustrating, when you get great pitching like we did and only scratch two runs across.

Josh Willingham

Everyone was pretty confident he was going to pitch better than the league, which he did, and he was going to force our hand, which he did.

Bryan Price

There were a few words and a few looks at each other on the pitch, but not much was said.

Robert Pires

The defense has been real solid, and I feel real good about our pitching. And for the most part, our hitting has been there too. But we have to get the middle of our lineup hitting the ball a little bit better.

Brad Francis

That's been the sales pitch I've been hearing from all these companies.

Bob Djurdjevic

Remember that you have, at most, three to 10 minutes to make a pitch.

Chris Griffin

He didn't even want to try another pitch, ... It's similar to last year's injury, but in a different area of the muscle.

Stan Conte

Our pitching was good, and we hit the ball well. We played just about as good as we have all season.

Ty Bissett

Those kind of games come down to one big hit. Helling and Oswalt both pitched outstanding, and then Lidge came in and did an awesome job. Dana battled to get two outs and then got a pitch up to Bagwell and that was it. It was a great game.

Ned Yost

I felt strong. My location was good other than the pitch to Utley and Howard.

John Thomson

I'm going to try [to pitch]. I'm not going to say it's going to happen, but I feel better. It's not tight anymore.

Jeremy Bonderman

We got a pretty solid pitching performance from our guys, so I was pleased with all facets of the game.

Scott Roy

He's my hero. To see him pitch, I couldn't believe it.

Jared Elario

But I'm not playing on the pitch tomorrow.

Claudio Ranieri

The guy is nasty, so I'm just waiting to get a good pitch to hit. I had to take my at-bat differently than during the middle of the game.

Skip Schumaker

I'll take a three-pitch inning over a three-strikeout inning any day of the week.

Mike Stephens

It was a good pitching performance.

Jerry Powell

It would be a great honor pitching in something like that. But all my thoughts right now are on getting healthy and being able to help the Yankees.

Carl Pavano

When Ari throws a pitch, I know where it is going to go.

Ashley Lewie

The pitch had a lot of moisture on it. There was a lot of movement off the wicket, more than there was in the air.

Irfan Pathan

I'm pitching like [ineffectively]. There's no explanation. They've been hitting my best stuff. No excuses. There are no excuses in this game. If they hit me, they hit me.

Jose Mesa

We knew coming into the playoffs that our pitching staff was our strength.

David Wallace

He can pitch in the morning, at 12:15 (afternoon) and definitely at night.

Rich Miller

The organization's pitching improved tremendously.

David Stockstill

This is a pretty good team and they have a good idea about how to play. Also, when you have a guy like Tyler pitching, it just makes the job that much easier.

Bernie Walter
