“If I get that out, I think it's a totally different inning. My best pitch is my fastball. I don't need to fool guys with off-speed pitches ---- just go after them. It's a good lesson learned early in the season.”
Clay Hensley
“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.”
Clint Hurdle
“I pitched alright because I didn't really have the off -speed pitch, but my fastball was better than most days.”
Ike Davis
“He looked good. He mixed up his pitches. He got one fastball up, I think to a lefty. But he hadn't pitched in a while. He'll be all right.”
Bengie Molina
“His fastball location the first two innings was not there, and that was forcing him to make too many pitches.”
Rafael Chaves
“A fastball inside, that's how you get him out. I didn't think it was a bad pitch.”
Kelvim Escobar
“I knew he was sitting on a fastball, ... I shook off fastballs to throw splitters. That pitch I could keep down.”
Roberto Hernandez
