“After the second inning, I was as down as I've been in a long, long time, ... Emotionally frustrated. I was at a crossroads where I could continue to beat myself down or make adjustments.”
Curt Schilling
“We seem to have those types of innings every game. We went brain-dead there in the second inning.”
Johnny Olsen
“His dismissal in the second innings was exactly how we want to get him out,”
Ricky Ponting
“He gave up four solo homers and he didn't let it bother him. We had a very good second inning with timely hitting. And we took advantage of a mistake.”
Jim Tracy
“He was around 90 pitches, he had gotten out of the previous inning with the tying run at second. You're going to hit for him there. He did a very good job, pitched six very good innings for us.”
“We're really enjoying the situation. Barring any mishaps in the second innings, we're in the driving seat.”
Dav Whatmore
“It's the third time I've got him in four innings.”
