“We brought these guys in to do a job. We have to get them into a rotation out there and put them in a position to pitch effectively.”
Andre Rabouin
“The guy who doesn't go into the rotation is going to have a tough pill to swallow. All five guys are very competitive and very proud off their contributions. It's going to be tough to take.”
Tony La Russa
“We'll rotate them every series. You'll have a fresh guy in there at the start of every series, and I think that's important. Whoever is hot at the end of the game will be in there.”
Billy Hite
“I didn't make plays. They did a good job of rotating and doubling and mixing it up and we just didn't make plays. They shot the ball very well tonight.”
Chris Hernandez
“They did a nice job of rotating and mixing things up, but I just didn't make plays.”
“We've been playing a ton of guys. We want to get the rotation going and get as many guys comfortable on the floor and in the offense as possible. With the schedule we've got, we're going to need everybody.”
John Peterson
“He's managed his rotation and especially his relievers beautifully. You never see him leave guys out there too long or use them too often. You might wonder why he's taking somebody out after 10 pitches of a 9-0 game in June, but it's paid off. His guys have stayed fresh. He gives guys fresh innings.”
