Mike Scioscia Pitchers Quotations

We're not as crisp in areas that we need to be in. One thing is pitching. We have a couple of things where pitchers have gotten into their starts and they've been a little bit erratic and getting into deep counts. That is where it starts, with pitching.

John looks ready to go. He's one of the top pitchers in our league. He had quite a year.

The way he carried himself on the field, the little things he did made a difference in what his pitchers could do. He was terrific.

A lot of times the pitch you need to get a guy out is either out of the zone or in the dirt and you need to block the ball or tag the guy out. Our guys work on that and our pitchers need to have confidence to throw that pitch.

It puts Bartolo in a special plateau of pitchers. I haven't seen that many pitchers that can throw it that hard with that kind of movement. He can get three different looks with his fastball.

None of our pitchers are in Chicago. We're going to use every pitcher we need tonight to get past tonight's game.

He pitched a terrific ball game. He matched four of our pitchers with what he did.
