"The only thing Earl (Weaver) knows about big-league pitching is that he couldn't hit it.

I think he's one of those guys that Earl Weaver talked about, when you get into the car, you come to the park and know that he's pitching for you, you feel pretty good. I certainly feel pretty good. I feel pretty good with all of them right now. They're all doing a good job. Hopefully, it's contagious and we can keep it up.

The most important thing about my pitching is that I'm satisfied, that I know I'm being the best pitcher I can be.

That was the big hit. He (Price) throws so hard, I don't know if Belcher knows he hit a slider.

I couldn't be happier for Jeff Weaver, looking at the job that he's done here over the last two years, being the workhorse of the staff and pitching deep into games more times than not, ... To see this guy grow into what he's becoming now, you feel awfully good about that.

Earl is one of the up-and-coming guards in this league and we're happy to have him.
