Best Quotes
It was a very well-played game, but it all started with pitching and defense. Again, we didn't tear the cover off the ball. We scored one run. This is what we have to do to compete. Hopefully, we can put it together. This is probably the third or fourth sharp game that we have played, but this the best that we played.

Benefit Quotes
He's not making some plays we expect him to make, he's made in the past and will make in the future. I'll tell you one thing: Pitchers go in slumps, hitters go in slumps, fielders go in slumps. Let's give him the benefit of the doubt. He's in a slump in the field. He has 48 hours to come out of it.

Brian Quotes
I'm very proud of Brian the way he has progressed over the years, especially since he's been the everyday catcher. He's improved in his offensive part of the game, he's improved in his defensive part of the game and he's improved in his overall play -- pitch-calling. There's no reason why, and I expect him to continue to make that type of progress and continue to improve overall. Not just in his offense. I still think Brian has room to improve defensively and calling of games and handling the pitching staff in situations.

Baseball Quotes
It was unbelievable the way he pitched. His record should have been better. It took some growing up on the mound, understanding the situation, the pitches and the sequences of attacking the hitter. He is kind of strong-willed. We had to kind of fight through that wall of his to see it our way.
-
Among Quotes
A pitcher can be the leader among the pitchers and be there for anyone who wants to approach him. But he is not that one guy who will go to a hitter and get in his face. Sometimes you need a leader and arms of that leader on the pitching staff, bullpen and the reserves. A position player can cross the line and doesn't mind going over to talk to the pitchers. But pitchers are kind of hesitant to go over to the offensive side of it.

Ball Quotes
Usually in a game like this you hope for one good shot at a pitcher like Pedro. It wasn't whether they had good at-bats, they just weren't productive even if they hit the ball hard. We had the people you wanted at the plate in the order you wanted and expected to be productive, but we didn't get it.
-
Again Quotes
The chance is very good that he doesn't pitch again this year. I'd be surprised if he does. But if he does, it's because he says his arm is good. ... He still feels like his arm is not right and as long as he feels that way, I wouldn't even think about sending him out there to the mound.

Capable Quotes
I don't like the overall results. To say the effort is not there would be a little harsh, but we're not doing the things that we are capable of doing to get the results we need. We are not making plays, we are making errors, we are not making pitches like we should and we are not hitting in situations.
