“He was good. I know he threw a few too many pitches in the first inning, but he settled in. You know, I think a lot of times the first time in a real stadium other than a Spring Training ballpark gets your hearts started a little more -- maybe throwing through his stuff a little bit -- but I thought he was really good.”
Buddy Bell
“He did a good job of mixing up his pitches after that first inning. He settled down and threw to both sides of the plate.”
John Gall
“Zach (Hedges) started out a little shaky. But then he settled down and only threw 66 pitches through six innings. That is phenomenal.”
Todd Abbott
“After that first inning, Ramon settled in and pitched really well the next five innings. And we played solid defense behind him. We just couldn't get anything going on offense.”
Darryl Baker
“(Lackey) wasn't as sharp as we've seen him, ... He threw a lot of pitches early, and then he settled in. I thought he kept his composure, and he pitched. You look at the linescore and see seven scoreless innings and say he breezed, but it wasn't easy.”
Mike Scioscia
“I had to settle down and do my job. Once I settled down, I felt good about it.”
David Barrett
“My location wasn't as good in the first inning, my command wasn't quite there, but after that I settled down and I was locating my pitches better and that was the biggest difference.”
David Bradley
