Brett Tomko Win Quotations

If you pitch six or seven innings and give up two runs, you should win those games.

I'm going into the offseason showing I can pitch and this is what you'll get from me. I'm making my statement.

You could almost see it coming. When it rains it pours. Granted, I'm pitching well and my ERA is dropping, but you want wins. Everybody knows I'm a free agent and pitching for a job next year. When you're not getting the wins you should get, it makes you feel like punching a wall.

Basically, we have to win out. That's the mindset you have to have. You've got to win every game and sweep San Diego for sure.

It was a nice way to end it. I got over 190 innings and got my ERA down. I've got some things to take into the winter and have a little firepower on my side. ... I told Felipe (Alou), 'This is my game, I want to go back out.' I hadn't won in a long time.

It's obvious what kind of difference he can make. Even if he doesn't swing the bat, he steps in the batter's box and the pitcher's got to have 'What if?' in the back of his mind. ... You've got to respect the fact he's Barry Bonds even though he hasn't seen a pitch all year.
