“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
“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
“He's been pitching better, but tomorrow is going to be a big one. You don't want to say 'must win,' but we need this one tomorrow. Hopefully, he'll come out on top of his game.”
John Flaherty
“I wouldn't say it was one of his greatest performances, but he pitched well enough to win.”
Alan Trammell
“We really needed to win this one, ... The way we hit the ball tonight, the way we pitched, we deserved to win.”
Brad Lidge
“He pitched exceptional. He matched an All-American pitcher, pitch for pitch. He made good pitches when he had to.”
Rex Peters
“Except for a few pitches, he pitched great. We really wanted to give him the win. It was a gutsy performance by him. We couldn't get enough runs for him and it's a little frustrating.”
