“We're finding roadblocks because they have a cookie-cutter mentality to producing buildings. How successful we'll be (in convincing them) is still up in the air, and we can't force them to do this, but we hope to convince them through the power of persuasion.”
Ned Lathrop
“There's no cookie cutter approach that we found. This issue in general is something that really begs a larger question.”

“His command of both sides of the plate was ridiculous. He really has a nasty cutter, and he was using it well against righties and lefties. He's tough enough as it is, and tonight he was extra tough.”
Nick Swisher
“They explicitly reject a one-size-fits-all, cookie-cutter approach.”
Mark Rodgers
“We were throwing a lot of curveballs and cutters. When you have a left-handed-dominated lineup and I throw backdoor cutters, that's a pitch that for the most part, if they don't hit it for a base hit, it's probably going to be a flyball out. ... I work so hard on the inside part of the plate with my cutter that when I do throw it on the backside, they have a tendency to hit that ball in the air, and not with authority.”
Kirk Saarloos
“[No fastball. Average changeup. Nothing special in his pitching arsenal against his former team.] I battled with my cutter and slider, ... I didn't have great stuff. I tried to keep them off balance with my slider and cutter and sprinkle in a fastball. It did the trick.”
Kris Benson
“I want the consultant to look specifically at MCH. We don't want a cookie-cutter program. We want one that works for us.”
Mary Thompson
“He's getting ahead of the hitters and dictating to the hitter what's going to happen. (His cutter) is a finished product, but we're still working on it here and there.”
Mike Griffin
“The hitting coach, Hal McRae, told me after (Andy) Pettitte struck me out (in the third) with a great cutter down and in, 'Relax, you've got two more at-bats,' ... Obviously, I had three more at-bats.”
Albert Pujols
“If I can get an out with one or two pitches and use my sinker or my cutter, I'm better off, ... I stopped being a village boy, thinking that I can throw any stone, any rock through a wall, and started thinking about being a guy that could last longer, to take some off my fastball and not to depend only on throwing hard.”
Bartolo Colon
