Phil Garner Trying Quotations

It swelled up on him and that was probably a little factor in the game. He was trying to pitch through it.

Chris got more big hits. That triple was an icebreaker. We've been trying to find some way to generate offence the past couple of weeks, done whatever we can.

It's like that 600-pound gorilla sitting in the room that nobody wants to talk about. If you keep going too many innings without scoring runs, everybody starts trying to do too much in one bat. And that's when you get in trouble.

Oh, I'm just trying to get through tonight. We'll think about that a little bit later. Right now, I don't know what we'll do on Saturday.

I thought he was going to be able to pitch, but it clearly swelled up on him. I think it was probably a little factor in the game in the way he was trying to work with it.

We've had trouble scoring runs this season, period. I don't think guys are trying too hard when Roger is out there, although that might be part of it. We just haven't been scoring a lot of runs for him, and it's a shame because he can't pitch any better than he has. He has just been unbelievable.
