Josh Bard Quotations

We're going to have many more times where it's going to come out in our favor. I really feel that. You've just got be professional and just keep going out there and preparing. I'm anxious just to get back in the bullpen with him and start again and get ready for our start in Baltimore.

Wake really speaks for himself. What a great job he did today. In the first inning, it could have gotten away from him. It could have gotten away from him a couple of times during the game, and he really bowed his neck and made good pitches.

I was encouraged by the at-bat but I'd rather have that last pitch be a strike.

People are making a big deal about him throwing inside. He's working hard at it and he's showing confidence.

When you're missing a guy like Coco, it's really going to affect you. I think you can see, when he was in the lineup we were doing the little things. He gives you so much energy.

You either give energy to the team or take it away. A guy can hit a home run and give energy to the team. But a good defensive play can give just as much energy.

Each day, it just seems like there's one or two balls that I catch that I have no business catching those balls. And there's one or two balls that I should catch that I miss. It's kind of give and take. Each time I go out there, it feels more and more comfortable.

I'm not going to make excuses. It was a great pitch and I didn't catch it. I'll just leave it at that.

I'm a big Denver sports fan. I guess you can say that it's a little bit toward that, but more so just doubling up sevens.

I'm learning every day. He's been a joy to work with.

I missed them, it's that simple. I don't know what else to say. I just didn't catch them.

He's the guy that deserves the credit. Hopefully, this thing will turn into me being like a good umpire -- you'll never even recognize me.

If he's healthy, he's going to have a great year. He looked healthy. He looked strong.

He really bowed his neck and made good pitches. He got some huge outs with his fastball.
