“He was sharp. For the most part, he worked ahead in the count and challenged the batters.”
Alan Gibson
“Walks and hit batters are not a good formula against this club, ... They worked the daylights out of (Zito). One guy after another having five-, six-, seven-pitch at-bats — that's a task at getting through that batting order.”
Ken Macha
“His breaking ball worked really well. Seven of his 12 strikeouts, the batter went down looking, didn't swing. A lot of those were on his breaking ball.”
Jeff Tageant
“It felt really, really good to get the first batter out of the way. I really liked the challenge with a man on second, two outs in a one-run game. The last thing I wanted to do was let that guy score.”
Chad Bentz
“What can I say about Chad Burns? He worked his off-speed pitches well and kept (the Sarasota batters) off-balance. He also competed, and that's what we need.”
Mike Metcalf
“Cale did a great job of getting a head in counts with each batter. He mixed up his pitches. A win like this is a confidence builder for him and us.”
Matt Cimo
“She got to a full count with too many batters, but she came back and got them.”
