Jermaine Dye Game Quotations

We haven't seen live pitching in a while, not (seen) any game situations. But no excuses.

You can let the game come to you and we did that tonight. We haven't had one of these in a while. The offense showed up and Freddy went out there and did what he needed to.

I've been around this game for so long and been in stretch runs like this and playoff runs. This game comes at you day in and day. Last night I couldn't get it done, but tonight I'm a hero.

I usually didn't play against him. I don't know what it is year to year. I went in with the same game plan.

I had a game plan going up there. I know he throws a lot of sliders. He throws hard, but usually his fastball is just to keep you honest. And I stuck with the game plan of going up there looking for a slider and just not trying to do too much.

I had a game plan going up there,

He's one of a kind, ... I haven't seen too many guys go out there and throw 100 miles an hour with some cut on it. I faced him in a simulated game the other day and all I can say about it is, I'm glad he's on this team. He looks mean and he comes right at you like, 'Here it is, if you can hit it, hit it.'

The first pitch, he threw me was a slider and I swung kind of too hard. Then he threw me another one for a ball and I stayed with my game plan. I didn't really try to do too much, just tried to hit it hard somewhere and found a hole up the middle.
