There were a few pitches, in my opinion, the umpire missed. That's when the rally really started. Instead of getting a strikeout, there was a base hit. There were a few like that.
Javy Lopez
We had chances to get more guys home. Give their pitchers credit. They also made big pitches when they had to.
Charlie Montoyo
We didn't miss any pitches. We have a great lineup. We're in great shape and everybody's doing what they're supposed to do.
Pudge Rodriguez
We haven't seen this, especially with Mobley. He gets command, gets runners on base and makes some good pitches to get out of the inning. Today was one of those days when he didn't find the rhythm.
Luis Dorante
If you're locating your pitches, ... it doesn't matter.
Leo Mazzone
I felt like I was throwing pitches where I wanted and wasn't getting rewarded for them.
Jason Vargas
He told me he could go 25 more pitches. That's where I want them all on Opening Day.
Bob Mcclure
Today was just another great performance by Mitch. He was able to locate with all of his pitches. He is just doing everything for us right now.
Paul Kostacopoulos
We got so many letters from readers asking about it and so many pitches from writers wanting to write about it. Definitely there was increased interest.
Patty Onderko
You never know when enough is enough. The five we got was enough. Every at-bat that inning was a quality at-bat, we had quality at-bats late in the game, but they made some good pitches and got out of some tough spots.
Razor Shines
Myers was very poised on the mound and had excellent control of all of his pitches.
Dan Kaiser
He's stepped up really good for us in that role. He's been really disciplined at the plate, not swinging at bad pitches. He's competing really well and he's always on base for us.
Bruce Cimorelli
Liz is more of strikeout pitcher, so when she pitches it gets kind of boring out there because she strikes out so many people. But she's got amazing composure and she always come through when under a lot of pressure.
Gina Rango
Each game is a learning experience. I can't pitch like I did in high school. I have to try to keep the ball low. The coaches here have taught me that hitters don't hit the good pitches, they hit the mistakes.
Christina Yard
For a freshman, he's doing a great job of getting ahead in the count and staying ahead. He keeps them off balance. He's able to throw all three of his pitches for strikes. His curve defies gravity. He's going to be a good one.
Johnny Kinzy
The mark of a good hitter is sometimes knowing when not to swing. We didn't chase bad pitches and allowed them to help us score runs.
Charlie Warner
I was looking for a ball away the entire at-bat. I fouled a couple off, pitches that I could have hit. He kept living out there and left me one up that I could handle.
Will Harris
He's got five plus pitches and great makeup on the mound. That's pretty tough for hitters, especially in late innings.
Scot Shields
I'd make some pitches to get out of a jam, then I'd turn right around and make bad pitches and get back in another jam. I just didn't do my job.
Glendon Rusch
He was making good pitches, getting ahead, going at people. I think that's why he was so good. He was effective going at people.
Mike Rivera
I understand the problems of last year, and I understand why I am here. I know what they expect me to do, and I expect the same thing. But nobody is harder on me than I am on myself. If I save a game the fans are happy, but I look at it deeper than that. I look at the pitches I made.
Billy Wagner
He threw right at 105 pitches. But he didn't want to come out. He wanted to finish it up. I thought he had a really good game.
Jesse Benavidez
The biggest thing I am trying to get across to these kids is knowing what pitches you want to hit. We want them to hit their pitch, like fastballs instead of curves. They are just learning to recognize which pitches are in their favor and which favor the pitcher. I believe all of that will come with maturity and experience.
John Carlock
We're hoping to go five innings, and 15-pitch innings to get him up to 75 pitches.
Brad Arnsberg
I'm a smarter pitcher now. With more pitches to rely on, I've been a lot more effective.
Nick Ursitti
One thing I benefited from a lot last year was people having to pitch around Adrienne. I got a lot more pitches that I might not have got because of that.
Liza Teichler
It's tough though, man, ... I felt like I threw 100 pitches and looked up and it was only 18 pitches.
Sean Burroughs
He would be the most consistent guy on the staff. He doesn't have overpowering pitches, but he knows how to use them.
Adrian Casanova
It was really hard for me to get frustrated, because I felt so good, and I was making good pitches. It was just Hennessey and Bonds.
John H. Patterson
He's pitched great. Anytime you draft a pitcher and he pitches this well, you're surprised. But he's pitched great.
Jeff Wilpon
We're seeing the ball well. To get in front of pitches like that you have to see the ball. We knew Atwater was going to be tough so it was good to get those two runs in the first inning.
Dan Mcghee
I don't want to think about this game because I have two more to pitch. I felt good, threw a lot of good pitches. They hit 'em.
Ramon Ortiz
This guy (Cobb) throws 80 (mph) and he just eats people up. Just seeing that he can do that, if I just make my pitches, I can get out of innings, too.
James Adkins
Our defense abandoned us today and it made Joseph throw a lot of extra pitches.
Marcus Maringola
They're not making mistakes, and they're living on the corners. You don't make a living hitting borderline pitches that are off the plate.
Garret Anderson
He's always thrown a pitch called 'The Thing' that is about 80-82 mph. Now he's moving toward a more classic knuckleball. The ones that float at around 60-62 mph. It can be devastating with all his other pitches.
Keith Mcdonald
I didn't feel any different physically than I have felt in the past, ... We used all my pitches. I got outs with all of them. We located better today. I think that's obvious.
Curt Schilling
He just makes pitches when he has to. He's got that slider that sometimes looks invisible to hitters, but they'll swing at it. ... We've been calling him Houdini all season long.
Johnny Estrada
They are a good hitting team, no doubt about it. I thought Ryan had some of his pitches up today early on. But you have to give credit to their team.
Troy Schaefer
But I've got to make some better pitches.
Matt Morris
I've been more selective with pitches. I've made a couple adjustments. I've fine-tuned (my hitting) more.
Ben Humphrey
I am very excited about Mortensen. He possesses three pitches and will compete for one of the starting roles.
Mark Machtolf
The guys that are here have the same pitches. It's not as if they're adding new quirks or new pitches to their repertoire. They're sticking with what got them here.
Marc Gustafson
I haven't executed against them. The first time around, you might get away with a few things, but to have success over time, you have to execute your pitches.
Jeff Francis
I feel good now. I had trouble locating all of my pitches when I first tried to pitch after getting hurt.
Pat Bresnehan
After the second inning, (Dustin) really stepped it up and made his pitches.
Lorenzo Bundy
I thought I had good command of all my pitches. I thought I changed speeds really well, and [catcher Javy Lopez] called a good game.
Bruce Chen
Jake had a great game for us. He was in the zone out there and gave us a tremendous effort. We're going to be hard to beat any time he pitches like that.
Nathan Henderson
Those are the same guys that threw against us at their place. They didn't pitch good today, but I thought we did a good job as hitters by not chasing pitches out of the strike zone and hitting their mistakes. Hit mistakes and don't chase—to me that's the key to offensive baseball.
James Mansinger
I'll tell you this much: Corrigan pitched like he was No. 1. We really didn't play bad baseball at all. But we just couldn't do anything on offense, and we looked at too many pitches. Against a pitcher like him, that's going to happen sometimes.
Jacob Walton
I'm seeing a lot of good pitches right now, a lot of good fastballs. It's so much easier when you come out and get ahead. You're just laid back and there's no pressure. You just keep getting hits and the home runs come.
Jody Blount
My approach to each at-bat as the season nears is the more pitches I see, the more comfortable I feel and the more it helps the team. That's my goal this year, to help the team win, no matter if I hit .230 or .360.
Ian Kinsler
Just in baseball terms, he's a leadoff hitter who can work the pitcher, make him throw up to 20 pitches. I'm sure Johnny Damon is going to come back to haunt us.
John Barber
It seemed like up in Michigan they were keying on all my pitches. I didn't really do anything different, just worked a little bit harder out there this weekend and got guys out.
Dan Delucia
It's amazing ? it looks like he's just playing catch with the mitt, even with the movement on his pitches. The other day, St. Louis has a good hitting lineup, and they were missing balls by a foot. You want the definition of pitching, it's him. You wonder how he gets it done.
Juan Pierre
He looked real good. He had a great command of his pitches and batters leaning and off stride. That is the kind of pitcher he is. He is not going to overpower any hitters. He is more of a finesse kind of pitcher.
Rich Carroll
It's great news. The main thing was confidence in all my pitches and staying consistent. I had all four pitches working, and that basically was it.
Noah Lowry
(Nick) didn't have to throw a lot of pitches, he struck out 10 and really kept the ball close to the plate all night. This was his best game all year.
Chris Santiago
He was outstanding. He was consistently ahead of the batters and he mixed his three pitches effectively. It was definitely his best game of the year.
Scott Runkel
He had good command of his cutter. He was getting strike one with his fastball and then cutting all the lefties in on their hands and just being able to stay on the attack. He did a great job of not messing around and making effective pitches.
Chad Moeller
She's so smooth on the mound - that's what I saw in her first start that caught my attention. Nothing bothers her when she pitches.
Mike Clamon
I wasn't going to send him back out for eight more pitches.
Xavier Hernandez
It's just a funny thing. I've just gotten good pitches to handle against them.
Shaun Cumberland
He's continued to go out there each time and be consistent for us. He's thrown well and has made the necessary pitches when he's needed to.
Steve Stinson
Struble has a good breaking ball and good change-up. You can call it anytime and he is always around the plate with his three pitches.
Craig Faulkner
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
Sanders came in for the sixth and throws six pitches. You've got to give him a lot of credit for that.
Keith Warren
I felt good in warm-ups in the bullpen. I was working it inside and out and keeping them off balance with my breaking pitches.
Josh Lewis
We often see opportunistic pitches like this following disasters.
Susan Wyderko
If you think he's tipping, you get it fixed. But if you're throwing it middle of the plate, he's not tipping pitches. They're hitting bad pitches.
Burt Hooton
He had a pretty angle to all his pitches, although his command within the strike zone wasn't very good.
Guy Hansen
… In certain situations they really can't pitch around, so they have to give me pitches. If they put me on, it's a good chance I'm going to score with either Ricky or Anthony, so that has helped out a lot.
Caz Piurowski
He threw outstanding. He mixed all of his pitches. The slider was working today (and) he worked out of jams.
Melvin Mora
Our mantra is good pitching and good defense, so that was kind of a typical game for us. For (Peacock) to be able to command three pitches like that was very impressive.
Scott Benedict
I feel like I was getting ahead in the count. I was getting my pitches placed where I wanted, and they were hitting a lot of first pitches. The guys behind me did a great job making plays. That all helped keep my pitch count low.
Michael Wheeler
Seven days off, and I come in with the bases loaded. I made the one out, and that 2-2 pitch was close. The 3-2 pitch was away. The inning happened too quickly. You have to make your pitches.
Jeff Nelson
He pitched out of two big jams. He only threw about 70 pitches, but that was a great game for him. We got plenty of development tonight.
Chris Cron
Jill had a great game. All of Jill's pitches were working. She had trouble getting loose, but she was fine once the game started.
Harvey Staver
He had good control and he mixed his pitches well.
Brian Dallas
We went in with the notion of not having him pitch more than five or seven and 80-something pitches or whatever. He went 120 last time out. He's been really banged up.
Willie Randolph
My fastball location was terrible. As hot as their team is, you've got to make your pitches and I didn't.
Kris Benson
I could have thrown 100 pitches today and it wouldn't have mattered.
Mariano Rivera
Julie mixes her pitches well and hits her locations. She's pretty confident with that.
Stacy Pondo
Uneven and dusty pitches which no-one in Germany would consider playing on.
Birgit Prinz
He gets ahead of hitters, makes them hit his pitches and our defense plays very well behind him.
Todd Genke
She has an arsenal of pitches that she and our pitching coach use freely. They do a good job analyzing the weaknesses of hitters on other teams, and she has the pitches that allow us to do that.
Loretta Shane
He thought for a minute and said, 'Now I have eight pitches.' He knew that intuitively. He figured that out, how to add and subtract from his velocity.
Bruce Hurst
We always tell kids that the more pitches you see, the more you'll get to hit. Clint did a great job staying in the at-bat and driving in the run. The more pitches you see, the advantage swings to the hitter.
Todd Coffin
I thought I had pitched well enough to win some of those games, ... Tonight, I made pitches when I needed them, and the defense made the plays.
Nate Robertson
I was pretty happy with all my pitches. They were all going for strikes, which is what I am looking for.
Pat Bresnehan
The more scouts that are here, the better he pitches.
Tony Rasmus
He threw the ball fine. We were swinging at some bad pitches and watched some good ones go bye. That sort of thing. He did well.
Rick Calloway
I think our offense is starting to turn it around and we're going to need that in conference because everyone pitches well.
Chris Valaika
He came in and was able to locate his pitches and we made the plays behind him. He had pinpoint accuracy.
Jason Abercrombie
We were very aggressive early in the game. [Schilling] likes to get ahead with his fastball, and we got some good pitches to hit. I thought we had a nice approach with him.
Mark Ellis
I made my pitches when I had to, and that's what counts, ... There were a couple times when I made some good pitches and the guys made some good plays behind me to get me out of it.
Brandon Webb
The Cubs take a good approach and they've got something on me that I keep doing, whether it's offspeed pitches or when I'm ahead in the count.
Matt Morris
I think she did very well. Her pitches were moving and she came out strong.
Jessica Preiner
Once they get to 70 pitches, I like to have them repeat it, and that's what Joe did today. It's easier to do it there [on a back field] because there isn't the strain and stress.
Bob Mcclure
Our guy usually hits his spots but he threw three pitches that were belt high and right down the middle. We just made some mistakes and they made us pay for them.
Randy Bowen
We're mixing our pitches like we want to. We're sticking to our game plan and our defense is playing well.
Landon Powell
A lot of took pitches in the last inning. And that's how we got on base and batted around. You've got to take advantage of whatever the pitchers are giving you.
Marcus Hill
The first three games of the series were frustrating for me. I was missing some pitches that I normally hit. Both (home run) pitches were in the zone and I took advantage of them.
Brad Eldred
I was a little concerned. We let two leads get away this week, but Tommy made the pitches and the guys stepped up and protected the lead.
Landy Faedo
He threw only 10 pitches. If he had been out there laboring through a long inning, backing up the bases, you hate to think what would have happened.
Scott Linebrink
It would be hard to come back and start and expect five innings and 80 pitches.
Curt Young
Conn doesn't throw as hard as Beno, but he stays around the dish with three pitches. It makes it tough on guys.
Cooper Farris
I've got to make better pitches, whether my leg hurts or not. This time of year, 90 percent of guys are feeling some [injury].
Chris Reitsma
They found a hole every single time they put the bats on the ball. When I look back on it, it's definitely disappointing. I've made worse pitches and I've felt worse in games. There's nothing I can do now.
Kris Benson
They were trying to get him (Mitchell) to chase pitches outside the strike zone.
Travis Barbary
You have to hope for some mistakes because good batsmen will always cash in on pitches like this.
Bob Woolmer
They were getting behind in the count, but they really made pitches when they needed to.
Doug Hawkins
We've been doing opposite-field (hitting) drills all week in practice. We were looking for pitches on the outer half, and I got a fastball outside (from Harden).
Matt Kallaoun
I don't want to think about this start, ... I have two more left. I made a couple of bad pitches but I made a couple good ones that they hit.
Ramon Ortiz
He's making a couple of mechanical adjustments to make sure he can maintain a good delivery, which will give him a good chance to make better pitches more often. But he's getting movement on the ball and tremendous explosion on the fastball.
Rafael Chaves
At the plate, the girls were real patient which was nice to see. Facing live pitching compared to machine pitching is completely different. We took a lot of pitches and got the hits when it counted.
Jeremy Trill
That wasn't one of my best games. I walked a lot of batters which I never do. I got behind in the count a lot and had to throw a lot of pitches.
Deanna Henriott
I struggled a little bit early on. I didn't have my breaking ball going, but I once I found that, I got confidence and I was able to locate my pitches well. That kind of did the job for me.
Martin Beno
If he pitches up, he's going to get hit.
Rocket Wheeler
My hero has always been Nolan Ryan. The guy was a bulldog. ... He's been my inspiration, That picture where he got hit on the head with a fastball and he's bleeding, but he still pitches...
Wade Kapteyn
I had all my pitches, I had good stuff. But these guys played great and I didn't do it for them. I'm a Friday night guy, and that's my bad. It's a margin of error I can't slip past.
Brooks Dunn
It showed all the bad points I have. That was about the worst outcome I could imagine. My delivery was off and the pitches were bad.
Daisuke Matsuzaka
He's not overpowering in any way but he gets you to swing at his pitches. Basically we have to sit and wait for our pitch.
Colin Curtis
I made some good pitches there, and our bats did the rest.
Brad Radke
She's a force on the mound. She's definitely improved from last year to this year. She worked very hard on her pitches. She picked up speed and she picked up movement on the ball. You definitely can see the confidence in the team when she's on the mound.
Greta Gnagy
I give a lot of credit to their pitcher. She made the right pitches when it counted and we couldn't get it done when we needed to, and hopefully they'll learn from that.
Jim Emerson
He made a couple mistakes here and there, kept the pitches up, but as the game progressed we knew to bring them down and Matt knew that as well. That's how he was able to close out the game for us.
Roland Fite
Westbrook battled his tail off out there, ... They didn't make it easy on him, either. He made big pitches, and then, obviously, our bullpen did an outstanding job.
Eric Wedge
He throws 60 pitches in the first couple innings and did nothing but get much stronger.
Eric Wedge
We can't fault Will. When he pitches a game like that we should get a win.
Eliseo Pompa
The only thing I do different [with runners on base] is I try to be more patient at the plate and be aggressive with pitches in the strike zone.
Edwin Encarnacion
I learned a lot being in the big leagues last season. For one thing, I learned I was tipping pitches with my glove. They don't see those things in the minor leagues, but they see them up here. I'm working on that.
Edison Volquez
I was just glad to be able to go out there and help the team. I was able to get ahead of hitters, being able to throw my curve ball for strikes on first pitches.
Edgar Ramirez
If another guy throws 30 pitches one day, I know I'm not going to be able to use him the next day. With Pat, if he throws 30 pitches, and 15 are right-handed and 15 are left-handed, I know I can come back to him tomorrow.
Ed Servais
I think we were jumping at the plate a little bit. We were chasing some bad pitches and just weren't able to get a lot of base runners.
Earl Hartman
I felt good, a little loose. I [threw] a lot of pitches.
Ezequiel Astacio
He's a pretty good hitter. I'm not going to throw too much inside because I don't want to hit him. I'll try to make good pitches.
Ezequiel Astacio
I just got my mind ready to go, make quality pitches and get people out.
Eude Brito
I just had command of three pitches. My secondary pitches, like the curveball and change-up, I threw for strikes.
Erik Bedard
Bryant Thompson shaves his arms before the games he pitches.
Eric Womack
