“Seeing him throw like that gave me a warm feeling. I wish we had five more just like him.”
Mike Hargrove
“It usually takes him a little warm to get warmed up. He started throwing his fast ball in the third inning.”
Jeff Torborg
“I had a big warm-up throw and that got me a little excited. But I just couldn't get it back to that in the final.”
Becky O'Brien
“[His fosh is one of the pitches Suppan throws in the bullpen when warming up for a start because of its importance. He holds the ball with splayed fingers, and it's crucial that his arm action on the change duplicates his delivery on his fastball. Otherwise, the ruse is ineffective.] If you have a dominant fastball, it takes people off that fastball if you're able to locate the changeup, ... If you can throw a fastball changeup, and it looks the same each time, that's a pretty tough combination.”
Jeff Suppan
“I just feel bad for the whole situation. Leavitt?s had a really bad season. Golfers always wish for warm weather and skiers always want snow. This year, the golfers won out.”
Jon Brayshaw
“You know, I warmed up, ... I didn't really move a lot. It was about a 10-minute warm-up. When I got out there and started moving, it just stiffened up on me, kind of similar to yesterday. You know, after the first couple games, I didn't feel too good about my chances.”
Andy Roddick
“Alone and warming his five wits, the white owl in the belfry sits.”
Alfred Lord Tennyson
