“If he throws 100 pitches, he's got to pitch five innings.”
Clint Hurdle
“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
“You want to build up innings. He could throw one inning [in a game] and throw 30 pitches and we'd have to get him out of there.”
Larry Rothschild
“We wanted him to try to go out and pitch five innings and 80 pitches, and he ended up (going) six innings and 70 pitches.”
Ned Yost
“You've got to remember you've got to pitch in the first inning, not just throw. It's not a throwing contest. You've got to pitch. I looked at every single replay, and every one of them was right down the middle, belt high.”
Bobby Cox
“We pitched well for four innings and we didn't pitch well for five. The sad thing is you need to pitch well for nine innings.”
Mike Hargrove
“To be able to throw 96, 97 in the eighth inning after throwing 100 pitches, that's me. My velocity was back to where I'd like to have it, and the sharpness and velocity of my breaking ball was there as well throughout the whole game.”
