Rich Aurilia Quotations

He's kind of sneaky. He throws across his body and he short-arms his pitches. You've got to feel him out. It took us a few times to get something going off of him.

He's kind of sneaky. He throws across his body a little bit. The first time you face him, you've got to feel him out a little bit.

I don't know. That's for the pitchers to decide, not me.

We're going to go as far as our pitching takes us. Our offense is going to match up against anybody ...

It's kind of depressing when you lose like that. Teams like that, they win games like that. Seems like they always come out on top.

He?s a mentally strong guy. I think his goal right now is just to be healthy and not talk about this stuff. That?s his prerogative. There?s not much for him to talk about. Everybody is doing the talking for him.

He thanked me for what I'd done, ... He said they'd know more after their meeting next week.
