“He threw his pitches for strikes and he got a feel of it. (Dustin's) going to get a lot better and for his first start, I was impressed.”
Chris Snyder
“He usually throws strikes, so when he threw only one strike in his four pitches something was off. That was uncharacteristic, but he settled in and got ahead of the hitters.”
Mike Getkin
“He pitched well. R.A. had good command, and he threw 14 out of 21 first pitch strikes. That's impressive. He did his part.”
Buck Showalter
“That was his best outing. He threw four pitches for strikes and he pounded the strike zone.”
Jim Tracy
“He pitched a good game. He threw a lot of strikes. Not to take anything away from him, but he threw a good game.”
Randy Knorr
“He threw 74 pitches and hadn't pitched in a while, so we just decided to be careful with it. Not that I wanted to, because we need pitchers to go late in the game. I thought he was pretty good. He had more pitches early than he probably wanted, but he looked very good for a guy who hasn't pitched in three weeks.”
Pete Mackanin
“He threw 74 pitches and hadn't pitched in a while, so we just decided to be careful with it. He looked very good for a guy who hasn't pitched in three weeks.”
