Casey is the real deal. She is a (Division I) prospect. She's by far one of the best pitchers in the Southeast.
Mark Bowen
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
She had a pretty good drop ball. But we stayed with it defensively and all three of our pitchers did a good job.
Mike Tomooka
That's two pitchers and a catcher (missing time). That's a whole battery right there.
Jennifer Caldwell
Both my pitchers battled the last two games and that's all I can ask for.
Dennis Long
The bad thing is we blew pitchers. And now we're in trouble.
Craig Nicholas
That was a good ball game. Both teams battled nose-to-nose. Both pitchers threw well.
Dave Dwyer
He will let things flow and not get eaten up by an error here or a mistake there. Whatever made him click, I'm going to put it in a bottle and give it to all these pitchers next year.
Mike Goedde
We made the decision that we're going to have our pitchers hit. I talked to Ned, and he wants our pitchers to hit this spring. We need to get them the work.
Doug Melvin
Oh yeah, I know it's hard for (the pitchers). But I don't crouch. It's hard for me to get good drives when I crouch.
Amanda Kobes
He threw the ball well, especially for the first time out. Our pitchers did a good job and we played good defense all day.
Mark Gulseth
I can't help but believe we'll be stronger on the mound. We have several young pitchers who gained a lot of experience last year.
Irish O'reilly
All three pitchers threw well. The pitchers were ahead of the hitters tonight.
Barry Godsey
You can't panic (early). None of our pitchers pitched real well, We had a few errors, but I knew that with our bats, we were going to come together and score runs.
Tom Kandler
They are probably two of the better pitchers in the state. So we will use them a lot.
Dennis Gore
We have to make sure we give our pitchers a lot more cushion this year. We're stroking the ball in practice.
Jessica Sachs
They're young and sometimes (mistakes are) going to happen. They're both freshmen and that's hard in our league. But they're both good pitchers.
Theresa Carroll
It's very tough for me to adjust to new pitchers I haven't caught before. You just got to go and keep battling with them and be ready when they're out there and try to learn all the tendencies they like to do.
Bengie Molina
We're not strikeout pitchers and we're not pretending to be. We preach location, and when Darcy is at her best she's hitting her spots.
Tom Harmon
We have to improve our timely hitting and defensive errors. If we work on those two things and get quality starts on the mound from our pitchers, we'll be fine.
Chris Huesman
Basically, you can never have enough pitchers. That's number one. So you keep as many pitchers as you can on your team.
Vic Ecklund
Matt pitched a great game. We had two pitchers out there who deserved to win. It was a toss-up. My hats off to him (Zupan). He had a good fastball and we didn't go with some of his pitches.
Derek Karcich
Luke's a pitcher. There are not many 'pitchers' around. He had to work at the end, but he worked through it. No matter what happens he goes after the next batter.
Jack Brooks
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
We have four pretty solid varsity level pitchers. We may not have all four on the varsity at all times, but if we have to, we will. We have depth.
Ken Dischler
He did a really nice job. He kept us in the game and that's all we ask our pitchers to do.
Keith Louder
He makes the other pitchers work harder. They want to be part of it.
Jeff Gregory
One of our pitchers was gone to all-state band camp in San Antonio and she stepped in and did a good job. She hadn't really thrown in a year and a half.
Ken Ferguson
Right now, the offense has us on its back and it's carrying us. There will come a time when the pitchers will put us on its back and carry us.
Gabe Kapler
It was a battle of the pitchers.
Mike Briguglio
Those balls would have been long outs on another day. Our pitchers pitched pretty well. They (Alexander) just got the ball up in the wind and it carried out.
Robert Luckadoo
They're all experienced kids. I always tell our pitchers 'give us a chance to win the game.' With the experience, they'll do a pretty good job.
John Demartini
Our staff is young with just three sophomores among the 15 pitchers. But we have good depth and athletically we are better overall.
Luther Bramblett
I can't say I'm totally disappointed, I'm more sad. I'm glad to be back with my team. I can play more here. It's a new league, new pitchers.
Alex Gonzalez
[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 pitchers pitched great, but errors cost us the game.
Mick Zeller
Obviously they were both highly recruited pitchers, so I definitely expect them to do what they're doing. But they still have to improve. They're two freshmen that are making progress to be better.
Tim Walton
We were able to jump on them early and set the tone. It was nice to get a big lead and give our other pitchers some rest. MacDonald pitched great and I was very pleased with our defensive effort.
Ryan Snair
Their pitchers kept us off-balance the first time around. I thought we did a good job adjusting to them and hitting the ball hard.
Rowland Skinner
He was one of the greatest pitchers of all time. He (was) the smartest pitcher I've ever seen.
Honus Wagner
When you're out there in the big league pressure cooker, a pitcher's attitude -- his utter confidence that he has an advantage of will and luck and guts over the hitter -- is almost as important as his stuff.
Bill Veeck
All of our pitchers have been throwing really well. We've been focusing on throwing strikes. That's what our pitchers have been doing, letting our defense make plays.
Brad Labruyere
We need to give some of our pitchers work.
Rick Magnante
The [Mike]McCarthy kid threw well for Lyman Hall. And West Haven threw their best pitchers at us.
Brian Gouin
I think we're going to try and give them different looks and hopefully give them three different pitchers so that they're not going to be able to gauge their bats on who's pitching.
Clint Myers
Our pitchers were tiring a little. The game, actually, looks like a blowout, but it was just a blowout in the sixth.
Bob Erickson
He was awesome. He is one of the greatest pitchers, ... and I'm happy for the way he performed tonight.
Felix Rodriguez
Their starter did a heck of a job. He did everything a pitcher's supposed to do really. You're going to have games like that. You just have to learn from it and go on.
Jim Gabella
He'd be at the fantasy camps, catching all of us pitchers. You'd be pitching to some 80-year-old guy, and [Hendricks] would put down the sign for a curveball. And you'd throw a curve -- just buckle the old guy's knees -- and Elrod would be back there, just laughing and laughing.
Mcgregor Scott
It changes things a lot when one of the best pitchers in the game gets ejected. I think you'd see a lot of teams roll over in that situation.
Reed Johnson
It's frustrating for the pitchers, that's who it's frustrating for.
Brian Lohafer
We should have done a better job against their first two pitchers. Kirby-Jones had real good stuff, if he gets you out that's fine. I thought we weren't very competitive against the first two guys.
Charlie Puleo
At the beginning of the game, I told the girls whoever makes the least amount of errors will win this game and that's what it turned out to be, an error. We knew their pitcher was good and our pitcher was good. It was definitely a pitcher's dual.
Janae Forsey
They've shown they are bona fide major-league pitchers.
Aidan O'brien
He looks really good. He's throwing harder and he has experience and command. He should be one of the better pitchers in our league.
Jim Frederick
It's a delicate situation. Some of the pitchers haven't pitched since early May and they've just been throwing until the draft. They've got to get those arms ready to pitch again.
Bruce Manno
We didn't hit the ball great. That is to be expected, though. Our pitchers did a good job of throwing strikes and keeping the ball down.
Mat O'brien
Primarily, every rule change over the past ten years has been against the pitchers - lowering the mound and the designated hitter.
Gaylord Perry
I was real happy with the way Kim held down (the Tigers') big hitters. She was spotting her pitchers, moving the ball around and changing speeds.
Donna Proctor
It'd be nice to get a few early runs, and let Blake get settled down a little bit. They've got some guys that can hit, but they really rely on their pitchers to win game for them.
Clay Berry
It was good to see us put together a big inning and then we just turned it over to our pitchers.
Clyde Metcalf
Maybe with relief pitchers, you need to look at not only how many saves a guy has, but how many innings he pitched getting those saves.
Steve Parris
Ricardo battled. He did a nice job. We needed somebody to step up. We graduated all our pitchers. He pitched like the ace of our staff, which he's been so far.
Dwayne Follette
They come to the arena to watch gladiators. Do they want to see a bunch of guys choking up on the bat against pitchers throwing 82 miles an hour or do they want to see the ball go 500 feet? They want to see warriors.
Ken Caminiti
We were a little worried at the beginning with only three pitchers. But we're doing a good job now, so I'm really proud.
Olivia Mauro
I went out and did what I wanted to do. This is a tough lineup to crack on the Angels. There are a lot of good pitchers around here.
Jered Weaver
This lineup continues to put pressure on pitchers. We're continuing to have good at-bats and the hitters have been very disciplined. They don't go after anything off the plate.
Michael Lotief
She really hit the ball well and was a keystone behind the plate as well. She did a nice job working with both of our pitchers.
Kris Vancas
What are you going to do? Admit to yourself that the pitchers have you on the point of surrender? You can't do that. You must make yourself think that the pitchers are just as good as they always have been or just as bad.
Lou Gehrig
It was just one of those games where both pitchers were effective with what they needed to do. It was a really good, close game.
Tom Harmon
He is lucky because he's got the horses. He's got kids that can hit and field and he doesn't really need his pitchers to do much else but pitch.
Bill Kilduff
It's always great to see your team be unfazed by big scoring innings and be able to bounce back. It was good for our pitchers to know they could get support from the offense. That's something we haven't had in awhile.
Stacey Phillips
To have him in there will be huge. Obviously, there's a big difference he can make. Even if he's not in the lineup, pitchers have to be wondering, 'What if?
Brett Tomko
I want to thank all the pitchers who couldn't go nine innings, and manager Dick Howser who wouldn't let them go.
Dan Quisenberry
We had chances to get more guys home. Give their pitchers credit. They also made big pitches when they had to.
Charlie Montoyo
Jamie is one of the most accomplished pitchers in Mariners' history, leading the major leagues in winning percentage over the last eight years, ... But it is his commitment to making the difference in the life of those in need through the Moyer Foundation that has made people see you as a great baseball player and a great humanitarian.
Roberto Clemente
A couple of years ago, one of my pitchers hit a player and broke her nose. And she had prom the next night.
Bill Palermo
You want one to two true pitchers that can beat anybody and six arms that can throw strikes.
Tim Saunders
The coaching was great today. That run gave us an extra edge. It really helped our pitchers out, and it was great for momentum. There was a little trash talking going on between us and them so this was a big win for us.
Cody Provenzano
This is our ballpark, and we've had plenty of those this year. Now I feel like all the other pitchers who have given up home runs here in that fashion.
Brandon Backe
She has a really good rapport with the pitchers. She?s always thinking what they want and what they want to throw.
Kristen Morissette
It was a big, big issue of importance for us. We keep teaching our pitchers to pitch down in the strike zone to get ground balls, but to do that, you've got to have guys who can pick up the ball.
David Grewe
If (pitch counts) were a panacea to our problems, I'd be all for it. But disabled lists are loaded with pitchers. There's hardly a pitcher living anymore that hasn't had surgery.
Dallas Green
Guys are hitting in the clutch pretty well. Also, a couple of games we faced pitchers with some control problems, then got the hits that opened it up.
Jim Habermehl
That (defense) was one of the big talks we had Friday night. We took care of business on defense Saturday and our pitchers did their jobs.
Mike Tomooka
Megan has really improved in the past few weeks. She pitched a couple of good games in Gulf Shores, and she has really become consistent, which is what we need out of our pitchers.
Pam Robinson
It's always great to get ahead off the bat. It gives the pitchers something to work with.
Chris Valaika
Our pitchers struggled to find the strike zone, but our bats came alive. This was easily our best hitting game of the year.
Jeff Thorne
When we come into the season every position accept pitchers and catchers is open. We're going to have to see how the batting order shapes up.
Lonnie Hicks
When you swing the bats like that, you're going to be pretty tough to beat. It was a good day. The hitters did a good job. It wasn't like their pitchers were slopping it up there.
Craig Nicholson
It was a well-played game, and the pitching was excellent. Both pitchers kept the batters off guard.
Rob Jackson
I thought both of our pitchers did a great job. They moved the ball around and kept their hitters off balance.
Dana Fiedler
Under Larry Knight, they are always well-coached. They have two good pitchers. It should be a great series. We're looking forward to it. We match up well with them.
Michael Lindsey
We're happy with where we are, especially where we're coming from. The only negative is we're throwing only about five deep, and someone else among the pitchers has to step up.
Tony Robichaux
We're armed and ready. We definitely have the pitchers. This is probably the best pitching staff I've had since I've been here. We'll go as far as our pitching takes us.
Denny Martin
We want to give as many pitchers as possible the opportunity to pitch.
Tom Woodruff
That is a concern to me. We've [organizationally] talked among ourselves to protect these young pitchers. That's a luxury we have -- a lot of young pitchers. I'm going to do everything I can to protect the young pitchers. They have a future with this organization.
Joe Girardi
The pattern I saw in the independent league is they (organizations) take shortstops and pitchers. But how does stealing 38 bags and hitting .283 not get an invite.
Jack Santora
Our strength will be our defense. Our pitchers will learn to use the defense, knowing they don't have to go for the strikeout and can get the ground balls.
Shawn Rychick
It was good that we were able to put three of our pitchers in the game today. They won't be as tired when we play four games in the next three days.
Brad Francis
Both pitchers were in a groove. They were both hitting their spots and keeping the ball down in the zone.
Brad Eldred
All three of our pitchers did a good job of pitching ahead in the count. All week, the bullpen really did a good job for us. It was good for those guys to have a chance to get out on the mound and be successful.
Gary Powers
We got some more players in and seven pitchers threw so it was a good team win.
Dan Schmitz
It would be nice if it happened, but I have no problem working with young pitchers.
Gil Patterson
We had emphasized that we'd see a lot of pitchers. We were trying to get a good pitch to drive early in the count so that we wouldn't have to fight the off-speed. We really concentrated on jumping on a pitch early.
Jefferies Tatford
Our two pitchers right now are going back and forth. It's good to see right now.
Shawn Rychick
We played very well defensively and got out of some bases-loaded jams. Our pitchers came through in clutch situations by throwing strikes.
Brett Brooks
I think the bye helps us a little bit with our two starting pitchers.
Chuck Stewart
We're good with the good pitchers. I'm assuming we're going to see some good pitchers with JFK of Buffalo. So, I feel confident going in. We've just got to get back in the batting cage and turn it up to 70 mph.
Don Arceneaux
Casey is one of those guys that has a lot of ability but has been struggling. He probably came into this game hitting .200. He put that ball in play against one of the best pitchers in this league, and that was the play of the game.
Jason Castro
Those were two big hits. We had more chances and did not hit the ball hard. It is really difficult [with pitchers that wild]. It's tough because when you get anything close, you want to swing. You have to be even more patient.
Gregg Wikierak
Bubba causes a lot of heartache to right-handed pitchers in this park.
Bill Selvey
We hit on Monday, but that was it because there's no roof (on the batting cage). We couldn't take ground balls because the field was too wet. The pitchers threw a little bit in the gym on Thursday, but there was no bullpen (session).
Corey Ishigo
I'm looking forward to having a good season with these guys and developing some quality Major League pitchers. I know we have some really good arms here. I am excited to work with them. They seem very excited.
Mike Butcher
I was glad to see all of our kids got to play. A couple of our pitchers did a good job, held them to two runs. And we swung the bats pretty well.
Wayne Yancey
We knew coming in their pitchers were going to be tough. Those guys are superstars. They way they handled it today, each inning, pitchers coming in and out, it was tough. Each (reliever) could be their closer.
Karim Garcia
The other two (pitchers) will come around because we can't ride one pitcher the whole season. They have to step up, and they're capable of doing that.
Joanne Graf
He was one of the toughest pitchers we faced all year. He had heat and he threw a slider. The first guy did a nice job and the second was dominating. It is something when you have a guy like that in your bullpen.
Jack Sturgeon
Jason Schmidt just has our number. He's one of the best pitchers in the league and he's just dominating against us.
Luis Gonzalez
Pitchers are generally ahead of hitters early in the season. She is pretty good at changing speeds but I thought we did a nice job of making adjustments when we needed to.
Dale Buvid
Some games, I want to have the game in my hand, but I know we have a lot of great pitchers and their concentration is just pitching. Right now, mine is third base and hitting the ball.
Anthony Santa
It's an honor. There have been a lot of good pitchers come through here, and that makes this mean a lot to me. But my main goal is to improve the team's record, not my record. Well, hopefully mine improves too along the way. But the team winning is the most important thing.
Brooks Martin
I thought our pitchers did a very good job on the mound. They kept us in the games.
Corey Held
Our pitchers did a good job making good pitches and getting groundouts. They all did a good job. That was really big when they got the first two guys on with two outs. (Pair) was able to pitch his way out of it.
Ronald Vincent
This deal gives us some short-term help ? two pitchers that can help our club ? and in our minds a future everyday front-line center fielder who's not that far away, which is hard to find.
Josh Byrnes
We didn't make routine plays. We played good offensively, (but) we didn't play good defense behind our pitchers.
Greg Watkins
Creek, they're good. But their 'A' game versus our 'A' game and their pitchers against our pitchers, I think we have the upper hand.
Luke Hardcastle
Moving it back has really helped because it gives me more time. Because the strong pitchers just throw fastballs. I can put more movement on it now.
Dani Caron
The difference between a win and a loss was one pitch. We knew it would be like that going in. Neither team was going to get more than two runs off these pitchers. Gabby just hung a pitch.
Leonard Garcia
The way he carried himself on the field, the little things he did made a difference in what his pitchers could do. He was terrific.
Mike Scioscia
To me, that girl is probably one of the top three or four pitchers in the Valley. She throws really hard.
Jim Oberdorf
Jenna has had some spectacular at-bats against some really good pitchers. She's letting her natural ability take over. Jenna made an extra effort on her strength and conditioning through summer and the fall.
Terri Sullivan
I thought we had some chances early to get him out of his rhythm. That's the thing about these pitchers that don't throw hard -- you have to get them out of their rhythm, and we didn't.
Mark Hogan
We have two good pitchers who complement each other. We do not want to put the pressure on her to carry it. Some schools might like to do it. That's not how we do it here. We do not want to give her the impression to have to do that.
Al Peacock
Pedro Martinez, one of the greatest pitchers ever, says that to you. What else could you ask for?
Duaner Sanchez
My job is to get pitchers better. Walking into the Atlanta Braves [organization], you know the history and the success the staffs have had here. It's a task I'm looking forward to the challenge of.
Roger Mcdowell
This a great opportunity to be around the game. Obviously, there will be a little bit more responsibility. As (the) hitting coach (last season), I was kind of lurking in the shadows whereas the manager has to deal with hitters, the pitchers, the front office and the fans. It's a bigger responsibility, but one I accept and look forward to.
Aaron Nieckula
Early on, we could throw all five guys in the same game. We're going to go with a committee of pitchers, and for them to have success, our defense is going to have to play really well. That is going to be a huge key for us.
Steve Perkins
It was really a pitcher's battle, with some really good defensive plays. It was just a really good high school ball game.
Gary Clausen
Their weather down there is supposed to be good on Thursday. We'll take a look at some of our other pitchers in the game.
Kris Doorey
I was hurting on pitching with two pitchers missing so I threw Grant out there and he did great -- he threw strikes and didn't give up any runs.
Craig Lambert
Our pitchers are doing very well so far, and today we had good defense to back up that pitching. (The hitting) was definitely a total team effort. All through the batting order we looked good ... and all in all, we did a good job making contact.
Kelly Coons
Both pitchers were in the situation where they had to match each other pitch for pitch.
Tom Donald
We walked too many people, booted some balls and they hit. We threw all three pitchers at them. … Unfortunately it set the tone for the game.
Kelly Burns
I was talking to Chipper [Jones] last night about how we've faced some pretty good pitchers and how it's been good for me to see them.
Jeff Francoeur
We are strong offensively and defensively with five seniors and three strong pitchers.
Chad Larsen
If you're not giving your pitchers the run support, you're not going to give them a chance at wins, ... And to compound that, we struggled defensively.
Jim Richards
Our pitchers have been doing a pretty good job. We're not asking them to go out there and strike everyone out. We have a pretty tough defense behind them.
Ann Munzenmaier
He has hit some homers off me and he has struck out. Some batters have better luck against some pitchers.
Jorge Sosa
The one thing he hadn't shown yet was the ability to hit for power. I felt that he would hit for power here, because the league he was in is kind of a pitcher's league, with wood bats and big ballparks.
Gary Henderson
We don't have pitchers to strike out 10, so we have to rely on our defense. They picked us up today.
Doug Hawkins
Our pitchers struggled to get ahead of their hitters. When you do that against a lineup like they have, it's tough to get a win.
Robert Abalos
Some days this spring, our two through four pitchers have looked great. But other days, our two through fours haven't looked that great. But I'm confident in their abilities.
Tom Woodruff
I'm not worried about pitchers, but I have some concerns about Mo. Guys will be running 90 feet, throwing long, going all out. Yes, you have some anxieties.
Brian Sabean
Our pitchers got us some ground balls to turn double plays and get us out of a few jams.
David Zuniga
That was a great experience. The thing that I realized was that the game isn't any different, it's just that everyone's more consistent and the pitchers are around the plate more. That's really the only difference. Nobody was real overpowering.
Jonathan Fulton
Our guys hit the ball well, and our pitchers threw well.
Ralph Carlson
We swung the bats much better, got a big lead and got to look at some pitchers who've been hurt a little bit. They came back on us a little bit, but the guys did what they had to do.
Bobby Halford
I've never used three pitchers, especially in a one-run game. But we're going to use all three until the weather warms up.
Heath Sager
We think everybody is pretty aware as to who the better pitchers are. The publications, I think, have been pretty accurate in identifying those guys. Now, it's just a matter of who do we want?
Deric Ladnier
Mid-America was the best hitting lineup we've faced down here. Our pitchers did an outstanding job.
Todd Verwers
I don't think about other pitchers. I need to pitch the best I can. I know they are not going to give me a job for free, but I can win a job if I earn it. I am working hard for that. They have seen what I can do on the mound.
Juan Dominguez
Our pitchers did OK, but then they got a little exhausted. We just did not field the ball.
Pete James
We have to get better in the mental aspects of the game, ... That's true for both the pitchers and hitters. The pitchers can't be giving up hits on 0-2 counts like we have, and the hitters have to find a way to get the runner over when he's on second with no outs.
Jamie Walker
He's one of the top pitchers in East Texas. Losing him will be difficult for us.
Terry Pirtle
Austin pitched well for us. The thing is teams are going to get hits against our pitchers and we have to play better defense.
Mark Percy
They're just a really good team. They hit the ball, lay great defense and they have outstanding pitchers. They are the elite of the league.
Eric Nieslanik
He showed me his breaking ball and changeup, how he held it and threw it. He has a lot of experience in the big leagues. I think he'll really help the Latino pitchers because he speaks the same language.
Edison Volquez
He'd kick the pitcher's (butt). He'd do it. No (fooling) around, bro.
Edgar Renteria
Some teams want a pitchers' park and some teams want a hitters' park. That's not the case in St. Louis. ... It's a fair playing field. It doesn't favor either pitcher or batter. Frankly, that's a carryover from what old Busch Stadium had.
Earl Santee
We have to be intelligent with our pitchers and not get too aggressive. We wouldn't want to use somebody we want available for the weekend, too. Both coaching staffs would agree on that.
Ed Servais
Sometimes I don't give enough credit to pitchers.
Eude Brito
I'm going to try to catch as many as I can. You want to get to see the pitchers but also to keep squatting and keep my legs in shape.
Eric Munson
Our pitchers did a good job throughout the game. We did a good job of staying in there and not giving up.
Eric Munson
Josh once again just proved that he is one of the better pitchers in this area. He's proven this over a long period of time, even before I was here.
Eric Wagman
I'd never call it a laugher but it's a lot easier on the pitchers.
Emil Brown
I saw a great difference in him, ... He had gotten to a point where he could even talk to his pitchers. He hated pitchers.
Elrod Hendricks
We faced one of the best pitchers in the country today, a tremendous competitor and a class act, and he was magnificent. It was a great college baseball game. We made it interesting in the ninth, but we were just too far in the hole at that point.
Elliott Avent
Pitchers today are only expected to pitch into the sixth inning.
Elden Auker
It's like anything else. If you don't use it, you're going to lose it. Excessive throwing never hurts a pitcher's arm; it's the lack of throwing that hurts the arm.
Elden Auker
I like hitting left-handed pitchers, I really do; that's my forte.
