“Pedro was tough. He was throwing as well as I've seen him. He mixes it up so well, he makes it tough to get comfortable up there against him.”
Brian Giles
“Pedro throws a lot like Livan (Hernandez). He'll throw off-speed on any pitch in the count. He pitched great. We couldn't do anything.”
Marcus Giles
“It's always big when the back end of your rotation throws the way Pedro did. He was throwing well before he went down [with a strained right quad muscle]. We really missed him. It looks like he picked up where he left off.”
Bruce Bochy
“It throws too many things out of whack if you do that. It's going to shorten Pedro [Martinez], and maybe [Tom] Glavine's turns, and you don't want to do that. You want your best pitchers to pitch. You don't want to lengthen their time away from taking the ball. You want to give them the ball more, actually.”
Willie Randolph
“It's tough to score a lot of runs off of Pedro, ... We did tonight, more so later. The thing is, Pedro's going to make mistakes. He knows how to pitch and you don't know what your going to get.”
Mike Lieberthal
“It makes you better. I've watched Pedro do it. I watched (Randy Johnson) do it, and I've seen (Roger) Clemens do it. It's a weapon that I've never felt that I've used to any extent in the past. And I'm going to use it.”
Curt Schilling
“It makes you better. I've watched Pedro do it. I watched RJ (Randy Johnson) do it, and I've seen (Roger) Clemens do it. It's a weapon that I've never felt that I've used to any extent in the past. And I'm going to use it.”
