Frank Robinson Plate Quotations

We don't seem to be able to handle any pitchers we don't know well. He mixed up his pitches pretty good. He moved it around. Still, we weren't very selective or very patient at the plate against him.

He could not push off the mound and he couldn't get his position, ... He was throwing straight up. He couldn't get down and drive toward home plate off of that knee.

We felt like he's capable of doing it when he walks up to home plate on any given at-bat. He gave us a big one tonight.

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.

He has been our offensive weapon the last month. Another big game from him. At least he is a threat up there at the plate now, which makes a big difference down in the bottom of the lineup.
