“The only thing that bothered him a little bit is when they had him skip, just to put all the weight on it. That didn't go as well as he was hoping, but everything else was right up to par. ... As he said, 'When am I ever going to skip on the baseball field?' ”
Brad Arnsberg
“If you look at the opportunity of another six points we could have skipped clear a bit in this game, so that's the most disappointing thing. We didn't play well in this game and really didn't deserve to win, and we have to find a way to win at this ground.”
Cameron White
“In fact, when these small shows book, they hit Chicago and then Kansas City, Mo., most of the time skipping over St. Louis entirely.”
Carol Kline
“We've been working strenuously on the issue for years, particularly since 1998, when the SKIP program was created,”
Patrick Hughes
“We really moved the ball well with skip passes; they kicked it in, then kicked it out and when you keep a defense moving, you're able to get nice looks. I think we surprised them with our patience. We kind of wore down their defense to allow us to get the better shot. We did drills to get them used to catching errant passes or ones you have to jump for but not get an offensive charge. When you play defense for a long time, somewhere it's going to breakdown. We caused that.”
Shelly Bartolacci
“Nobody gets skipped here. Our fifth guy in Oakland had it tough. He didn't know when he was pitching. He didn't know how to go about things. It's great how we've had it going this year.”
Mark Mulder
“Thurber did not write the way a surgeon operates, he wrote the way a child skips rope, the way a mouse waltzes.”
