“He's aggressive with his fastball. He doesn't pitch to the park, kind of the same mentality I take out. When you're at Coors Field, you can't just say, 'I'm going to do something different.' You can't change the type of pitcher you are, you just have to go out there, be aggressive, and make your pitches. He made some great pitches today.”
Aaron Cook
“When you've got the lead, you've got to pitch ahead; you've got to throw fastballs. You've got to put it down the middle of the plate and say, ?Hey, let's see how far you can hit it,' and we didn't. We were too cautious.”
Harry Tholen
“I pitched alright because I didn't really have the off -speed pitch, but my fastball was better than most days.”
Ike Davis
“He did what pitchers do when they're successful. He moved the fastball in and out, he kept his pitches down for the most part, and he got away with mistakes when they were up.”
Brad Ausmus
“One thing we have to do better is swing at good pitches early. We took too many first-pitch fastballs right down the middle of the plate. That's not my team.”
Scooter Dunn
“I knew he was sitting on a fastball, ... I shook off fastballs to throw splitters. That pitch I could keep down.”
Roberto Hernandez
“The bigger issue is the first-pitch fastballs they are squaring up. He might have to start pitching backwards (by starting batters with breaking pitches) and doing some things different off the mound.”
