“I'd rather you walk with the bases loaded.”
Earl Weaver
“One inning she walked a couple batters and loaded the bases with one out. Then she struck out the next two. She was really it today.”
Terry Cornett
“We stranded a lot of base runners tonight. Pat (Gonzales) finally got that big hit with the bases loaded.”
Eric Gutierrez
“When they walk the bases loaded we don't have much left to do.”
Stephen Burris
“[Shields had walked Gary Sheffield on four pitches and Hideki Matsui on a 3-2 pitch to load the bases for Cano.] I was looking for a fastball and he threw me a fastball right down the middle, ... If he throws me that, I'm going to swing.”
Robinson Cano
“We did some good things. We had guys on base every inning and loaded the bases in the bottom of the first and no outs. (But) our hitter goes after a bad pitch and hits into a double play. Then the next guy grounds out. To me, that's a mental mistake because you don't go after pitches like that, especially with no strikes.”
Pete Porath
“I don't believe in walking anybody in the first inning with the bases loaded or whatever. I don't think they've made that guy yet. But he does deserve attention and respect in situations.”
Frank Robinson
