“This wasn't my team tonight. We got a couple strikeouts in the first inning and scored two runs. We were pretty excited after the first inning.”
Connie Wunschel
“We went 1-for-5 with four strikeouts when we had runners in scoring position. That's not giving ourselves a chance. I know we can do it, it's just a matter of doing it.”
Chris Cozort
“I never heard a crowd boo a homer, but I've heard plenty of boos after a strikeout.”
Babe Ruth
“If you can get an out on one pitch, take it. Let the strikeouts come on the outstanding pitches. Winning is the big thing. If you throw a lot of pitches, before you know it, your arm is gone.”
Dwight Gooden
“When you lose, it's always a bad outing regardless of how you pitch or how many strikeouts you have or what you threw.”
Jose Contreras
“She's going to get you those strikeouts and the good thing is that she's not going to walk a bunch, and that keeps people off the bases. She's in her third year and she has control of her pitches. We always say that if we can get a couple of runs for her then we're going to win a lot of games.”
Jamie Richardson
“Franklin's had an unbelievable winter. He's cut down on his strikeouts. He's got to stay healthy and develop a two-strike approach. The guy's an exciting young player, but there's still some question as to what he'd be up here.”
