Ernie Whitt Threw Quotations

I think the pitchers threw the ball a little better today, and that's always encouraging. It's just a buildup. I didn't learn anything today, though, that I didn't already know. But it is definitely a way to gauge where we are. So now we go forward from here. The enthusiasm and attitude around the clubhouse is high.

I thought our pitchers threw the ball a little bit better today, which is always encouraging. So, yeah again, this is just a build-up.

I was very happy with the way the guys played. We played errorless ball, which was good. We threw too many pitches and fell behind in the count. When you fall behind the count on good hitters, you're going to get hit and that's what happened today.

Q threw the ball outstanding. He's just a strike machine. We were shocked when he threw that one ball. I thought, 'Well, he probably just wants to throw some extra pitches and get some work in.' I haven't sat down and determined a role yet, but he will be very active in our bullpen.

As a team we probably threw too many pitches. This is the first time they have thrown to hitters. Overall we were OK. We played errorless ball and swung the bats well.

He threw the ball well, he threw some nasty pitches.
