Phil Garner Drive Quotations

(Sheets) was good but we have to win these games. We just didn't drive in the runs when we needed them.

He got the run in. It wasn't the fly ball or a ball in the gap, but he got the run in. Guys that drive in runs, find a way to get a run in. That's just what they do.

He should give us some pop in the lineup and the ability to drive in some runs. We hope he drives in 100 runs and hits 30 home runs. That's what we're expecting from him.

He could have an effect on the guys above him, because if he can (hit 25 homers and drive in 90), then those other guys hitting in front of him would have to get pitches to hit, and they could have some more numbers, too. If he produces like we think he can, it gives you four guys in the middle of the lineup, and you can't sneak though it. Somebody is going to get you.

The thought of a squeeze crossed my mind, but you think he's one our better hitters and you want him to have a chance to win the ballgame and drive in a couple of runs.

How stupid can it get? You just keep getting shut out. It's just stupid. It's hard to get shut out in today's game. It just seems like somebody 's going to get a hit to drive in a run.
