Jeff Suppan Good Quotations

I finally had a good cutter, which really helped. I still have one more start, a minor league start. I'm still building. The main thing is getting mentally and physically ready for the season, and I'm close.

My stamina was good, I thought. Obviously my pitch location wasn't as good as I wanted it to be. I'm still predominantly focusing on the fastball. It didn't go everywhere I wanted it to go, but better than last time.

It's pretty amazing, the type of players that he's compared to. Names that you've heard your whole life, and he's putting up those types of numbers. ... He's the type of guy who has that ability, and has a good work ethic and it shows out on the field.

My cutter was much better, and my cutter is usually my last pitch to come along. I feel good about where things are headed.

Some of these games, it's hard to come up with an explanation. They were able to capitalize on my mistakes and put together some good at-bats, and I didn't make pitches.
