“We're not afraid to use Hancock. As long as he's pitching the way we think he should pitch, which is aggressive and keeping the ball in the bottom of the strike zone for the most part, he can pitch in any part of the game.”
Dave Duncan
“I pitched OK. I didn't pitch exceptionally well, but I don't think I pitched five-runs poorly.”
Paul Byrd
“He threw the ball well for a guy making his debut and not pitching for a while. I think he'll really help them down the stretch.”
Jack Wilson
“They pitched well. You look at our lineup, it's not (easy) to pitch that well ... but that's the way it goes.”
Albert Pujols
“I didn't think it was going to (drop). Not that pitch. Somehow, it (the ball) went slow. I guess she (Perry) thought it was going farther than that so she didn't go right away.”
Bernard Victor
“I pitched OK. I didn't pitch exceptionally well, but I didn't think I pitched five runs poorly. The bottom line is we won the game. I can't say enough about how we played as a team. One of the reasons I came here was the way our team plays, and you saw that (yesterday).”
“Our pitching. I told them that we're not going to do anything unless we pitched well. Our starters have done a nice job and our bullpen has been much better.”
Willie Randolph
