We're going to stay with the same rotation. We're evaluating on everything they do — practice, drills and everything. But the bottom line is you're going to glean more out there at the stadium going 11-on-11 when the coach is not right in your ear giving you a reminder every play.

He's going mid-week for them but he'd be at the top of my rotation.

We're just taking the rotation game by game at this point. We'll see how it goes.

Angelo Colosimo

He deserves the opportunity to be in the rotation.

Mark Connor

Walt dominated at the professional level until an arm injury cost him last season. Now that he has fully recovered we hope he can regain the form that had him on a path to the big leagues. We're going to let him compete for one of the starting spots in the rotation.

John Massarelli

It's my first start, so I'm just trying to do the same things I've done in the Minors. I feel excited, and I'm happy to get a chance. If I do my job, maybe they'll make the decision [to keep me in the rotation].

Fernando Nieve

We're playing with confidence, and we have a nice rotation going. I think it's an advantage to be at home. If nothing else, it's a reward for the kids.

When those guys are healthy, we have four No. 1 starters in that rotation. I don't know if there is another team that can say that.

Bob Howry

Milo is looking as good as any of the pitchers we have right now. He hasn't been in the rotation, but I have no problem in giving him the ball. Each time out he proves me wrong.

I was really focusing on keeping that leg with me instead of losing it. I sort of got lost in the rotation. With these guys there's no way you can afford to make that kind of mistake. I was happy I managed to come back. I didn't give it up.

Alexandre Despatie

I'm glad we're down to one spot in the rotation, and we've got time to decide. It's time for them to show us something.

We plan to start our playoff, if we have one, on 18. And then play 10 and 18, and stay in that rotation. And it will still be sudden death.

Hootie Johnson

I haven't looked at it in that way. I've just been positive. I mean, we're all competing for the same thing. I mean, he's a friend of mine. We hang out all the time. We just do the same job, so somebody's going to have to play. Either starting or in the rotation, it doesn't matter. And, if we're in there together, we've got to protect each other.

Howard Green

We're generating rotation plans well over a year in advance. We've gone from two months to well over 14 months.

Jay Burdon

It gives the starting rotation a sense of relaxation, because we know if we can just get through five or six, we have the guys every night to finish the game up for us. In the past, it hasn't necessarily been that way.

Jason Jennings

I paid 10K ($10,000) in May and you said, 'Don't worry about the rotation.' And I waited for two months.

I had a defensive and an offensive rotation in the final two minutes, and everybody accepted what they were supposed to do. It's beautiful. It gives us some confidence we haven't been having.

Scott Monarch

I'm hoping for the best and hope to play again. If I can come back and we can back into the rotation we had before the injury.

Brittani Nichols

We have seen much-improved inside play of late. That four-man rotation is giving us everything we need out of our post play. They're boxing out, rebounding, scoring and basically, just controlling the paint.

Everybody's success is determined by your starting rotation. If you've got a good rotation and a good closer, you have a chance to be a good club.

Dan's a sharpshooter from the outside, he's been playing well and he's going to be in the rotation.

Gary Gait

We went man-to-man. We got our backside rotation over and our guards helped out.

Craig Turek

He does it every year. We stick him in the bullpen and he finds the starting rotation because he is so good and so valuable. I'd like to have two of him -- one in the bullpen and one starting.

Rod Delmonico

Making the rotation is my goal. Today I was able to get ahead of most of the hitters and that makes for short innings. That's been a problem for me the past few years.

There are 200 special police there now, but they are ineffective, ... both in numbers and the quality of guys in there in the first place. With the rotation of units there has been a downward spiral....I believe the ministry of the interior pulled the plug a little too quickly.

Joseph Taluto

The Angels have a great rotation. It's a tough lineup to crack.

Jered Weaver

It's the first time I've seen somebody use their rotation to the point where I thought our guys did get a little fatigued. We have a six-man rotation, but not only did QND pressure so aggressively on the defensive end, they were attacking on the offensive end and it made us burn a lot of calories on help and recovery and rushing to the driving man.

Reno Pinkston

They attacked our zone and out-matched us. We tried to show a better rotation but we just weren't aggressive enough.

We don't label people as starters. We have eight to 10 players and we just play them. We have a nice rotation.

Butch Wade

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 feel happy. That's what I like to do, be a starter, and I think I did my job in the starting rotation last year.

Claudio Vargas

Jefferson has a three-guard scoring rotation, and that makes them capable of scoring very quickly. We must stop them in transition and close out well. We also have to use our length on the glass and our passing lanes.

Tyrone Johnson

They only have to score twice here and avoid conceding. They have a big enough squad and a rotation policy will work for them.

Pitso Mosimane

Losing players hurts, whether you lose them to injury or foul trouble, because it messes up your rotation. But losing one player does not cripple my team. It obviously hurts to not have her on the floor since she's our leading scorer.

Tracey Stellato

I think I'm playing too many guys. I need to find a rotation that will play physical in a physical league.

Ricardo Patton

We had him on a set rotation. Kyle knew he was going to play 20-24 minutes a night and he made the most of it.

Mike Code

We just have a lot of people in our rotation. We're pretty even after Lucas, we could go with anybody for the next 11 or 12 guys.

Darin Lee

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

One of our biggest concerns is blocking. So we'll play a rotation defense.

We have excellent shooters and had good rotation, but sometimes that just happens.

Everybody in America said we had too many receivers in the rotation, nobody ever got a chance to get hot.

We were able to use our rotation as best we could tonight and give everyone a chance to get some good playing time. This was a good experience for a lot of our guys tonight.

Keisha Brown

We tried to keep our rotation as normal as possible. I didn't want to move players all around.

Danny Nee

We like the idea of having a three middle blocker rotation. Teams with depth are harder to prepare for.

Mary Wise

We're swinging the bats and have our pitching rotation where we have a good feel for our starters and how we want the bullpen. I feel like we're right on schedule.

Jerry Halstead

He could have meant the difference in us making the World Series. With him in our rotation, we would have had another strong pitcher.

Rick Collier

We have to focus on setting our rotation on how we're going to play in the playoffs. Hopefully it will be a good indication of what our rotation will be once playoff basketball starts. We trust [Johnson].

Jerry Stackhouse

He's been effective, and his speed is increasing because he's getting used to the rotation.

Larry Beets

The three have moved up in the rotation and are improving with each game. We need to give the starters a break whenever possible.

Paul Hatcher

End of the first quarter, beginning of the second, we let down (defensively). We overemphasized our concentration on Crocker and Peterson, and it took us out of our help defense. Our rotation was off. It was my fault. Eng wasn't part of our defensive game plan.

Dan Bartram

It's important we get Rocco back into our rotation and into a good rhythm before we start district play.

Keith Taylor

One of our most popular channels is 'Sirius Hits,' which plays the most popular songs in high rotation. But we have other channels, like bluegrass, where listenership isn't as high, but there's an extremely high level of satisfaction. That's the kind of service we can provide.

Patrick Reilly

It's tough because it limits our rotation. You definitely lose some offense. Fortunately, we've got tough kids that maybe played above their skill level and stepped up.

Kevin Estes

[He's impressed catcher Gregg Zaun, who would feel] very comfortable ... as a nice complement to what we have in the rotation.

Scott Downs

Rotation is indeed a reality but, if the economy is doing better, tech stocks will lead it because they are the new industrials.

Joe Battipaglia

He has multiple pitches, down-in-the-zone type stuff. If they needed a guy to go in the rotation next year, I wouldn't hesitate to put him there.

Russ Springer

Coming in, I fully expected to be the top guy in our rotation. Pitching has always been my first love, and I love having the ball out there in a big-time situation. When something big is on the line, I definitely want the ball on the hill.

Thad Weber

We're pretty set with our rotation. We have a lot of depth.

Kenny Graham

I screwed up. I could have gotten more players out there in our rotation a little more than I did and we probably paid for it in the end so I'll take the blame for it.

Steve Libert

I didn't want to get better any more just because I was out of the rotation. I wanted to get better regardless of where I was.

Luke Hudson

He played about a minute. It's going to take us a while to get him back and find a way to fit him into the rotation without disrupting things. But he was real anxious to get back out there and has been working hard to get back.

Ron Hassler

[Fortunately for Minnesota, it has the league's easiest remaining schedule, with 25 of its final 31 games against teams with losing records. However, a favorable schedule means nothing if the rotation doesn't do its part.] We feel like we're beginning to click, ... but we need to really pick it up. Then maybe everyone will forget about how bad we were in the first half.

Kyle Lohse

It's a classic rotation away from everything that did well in 1998 and the first quarter of 1999. Everything that did lousy in that time has picked up.

Christine Benz

It's not unusual to see a rotation back into some of these traditional stocks.

Stuart Freeman

We are the only ones being dispatched in Springfield Township. What will happen in the future I can't say. But right now there is no rotation. We're handling all the calls.

Chief Ron Henry

T'ai Chi is not only good because you get a break from class and time to relax, but you get instruction from a rotation of three different professors who each have something different to contribute.

Kevin Duffy

He's a competitor and has great belief in himself. You can tell that on the mound. He's got that look in his eye that he's going to get the hitter out. He has something that you're born with, something you can't teach. He has the heart to be a top-notch Major League pitcher. He expects to win and has a quiet confidence. He doesn't get rattled and has a chance to be a top-of-the-rotation guy.

Bill Bryk

We're still seeing some rotation into more cyclical stocks ... such as consumer products makers, and industrials, ... We quite like oil stocks as well.

Brian Scott

I have no idea of what the rotation might be, ... Ask me tomorrow.

Ozzie Guillen

Investors are edgy and nervous. That tends to mark the beginnings of rotation.

Ozan Akcin

Our thought process, for anybody in the starting rotation, is to go out and contribute to the team.

Wandy Rodriguez

The substitute right now is on hold. He's out of the rotation for substitute, just as long as the district needs to look into it and find out exactly what happened.

Margaret Gallardo

It's real important to get him back. We lost [Paul Grasmanis to injury], and we've been relying on a couple of young pups [rookies Mike Patterson and Keyonta Marshall] and Truck Driver [Sam Rayburn]. Nothing against the younger guys, but they don't have the experience we older guys possess. This gives us our real rotation back.

Hollis Thomas

He's a good shooter, he's a force down low and draws a lot of fouls. We feel he's a player who can play in our rotation and help us.

Rod Thorn

We have enough talent within this five- or six-player rotation to pull off a lot of upsets. We can come in with a sense of confidence, knowing if we play defense as well as we can, we can do that.

Melvin Buckley

Differential rotation is a fundamental dynamic process that goes to the heart of the origin of our planet and how it has evolved. There is still much to learn about the inner Earth.

Xiaodong Song

In the first half and early in the third quarter, our defensive rotation was a little slow. Aledo has one of the most potent offenses in the Olympic Conference, but if your rotation is good, then they can be stopped. If your rotation is not good, then they will cause you a lot of problems, and that's what happened to us.

Chuck Grant

He gives us a good solid rotation with our big guys. He gives us more depth at the low post position.

Andy Gast

I think everyone is pretty excited about the way the rotation looks. It's pretty amazing, 1 through 5. It's going to be great to see what we can do together.

Rich Harden

This is something that's never happened before. Maybe it's because there was too much in the rotation. I just hope Marie is fine. She fell pretty hard.

Patrice Lauzon

They're not going to sit down. They'll be ready to take us. Our new rotation will take some time to get used to.

Val Anae

Losing Meredith hurt our rotation more than anything else. With her in there it allowed me to rest certain people. But when when she left, I couldn't do that and it was a factor.

Claude Tyler

With the 24-second shot clock, there will be a lot of pressure on (players), and with that pressure you have to have a bigger rotation and a better bench.

Carol Blazejowski

There's not another starting rotation that measures up to ours. And then you get to the back part of the game, with (Brad) Lidge. That's who we are. We don't outslug teams; we outpitch them.

Lance Berkman

I am thankful for the opportunity. I welcome the chance to be in the rotation for the Florida Marlins. I feel I'm ready for the big leagues. The last couple of months, I worked hard in winter ball for this opportunity.

Yusmeiro Petit

After starting the season in the rotation, and to go down there in May and have 30 saves, it's neat.

Ryan Dempster

We'll just keep working and just try to get back. We don't play a league game for a while, so we need to get our rotation right.

Rick Binder

It got us out of our rotation and affected what we wanted to do. It was almost like trying to put a Band-Aid on it just to get to the second half.

Anthony Houston

He had everything working. He used a fastball and a sharp, breaking curve with the occasional change-up. He was great and he absolutely earned himself a spot in the rotation.

Scott Runkel

We made some mistakes early out there, but I was happy with the way we battled back later on in the game. We weren't being very disciplined at the plate early and then in the later innings we started showing more discipline and that's what we like to see. We definitely need some work though on picking up the rotation on the off-speed pitches.

Greg Diaz

You add a left-handed starter like that in your five-man rotation, ... you're instantly better.

Ray King

Other criteria [besides just a regional rotation or a General Assembly vote] have to be established. There have to be some standards set.

Richard Grenell

No system is ever perfect and there is always need for a review. So we have decided that every month, the ADG of railways will go everywhere by rotation and hold co-ordination meetings with the key officials of the RPF.

Alok Sinha

I pace myself. I don't strain. After all, it's not the Olympics. If I get tired, I sit down. The continuous rotation appeals to me to no end.

John Pullo

We're going to see the rotation that gives us the best chance to win.

Scott Jackson

Losing Veal and Gilbert and not replacing them has created a void, but the pitching rotation is stronger (overall).

Edgar Soto

Just sitting there, you want to get out there because you feel you can play. But you realize that you can play only so many guys. Whatever the rotation is, it's set.

Zach Hillesland

He's my friend, too, 'cause I went to school with him. I have a chance to be in the rotation.

Esrom Pascual

We knew (Carrier and Farley) were good players. We were hoping to work them into the rotation. Instead they got thrown in, but they stepped up and played really, really well.

Ed Louder
