We were aware of their pitching staff and fortunately, we were able to win and this probably bodes well for the (tournament's) next games.

I think our defence probably is a little overlooked, but pitching and defence are going to win you a lot of ballgames.

Our pitching staff is a conspiracy of ifs.

If you look around at everything that has happened to me, to the whole starting pitching staff, if we have had won all those little games, then the whole pitching staff should be Cy Youngs. It didn't happen for me to get those wins, but that doesn't mean I'm done working.

He has solid, above-average receiving skills and is above-average in handling a pitching staff. He'll be able to aid us in the development of Buck.

He picked me up, and that made me feel great, ... When I ran past him going back to the dugout, I tapped him on the arm to say thanks. I wanted him to know he had picked me up.
