Phil Garner Ground Quotations

We're going to have to take a personal inventory as a team. This is September, and this is no time to fool around. We need to pick it up a little bit. It is fortunate to lose two ballgames the last couple of days after having a nice streak and not lose any ground to the leaders.

I thought Wandy did a super job, ... He must have had some late movement, because he got a lot of ground balls. But he was down in the zone a lot, and in the middle part of the game he went up the zone a little bit.

Just get the uniform on, come out, take a few ground balls, swing the bat, just like anybody else. I don't, for the first four or five days, look for guys to be going full-bore.

We got on the field and got some work done, a lot of ground balls and fly balls. We got those skills taken care of today. We missed our fundamentals but we'll still be able to double up (today) and get back on track.

We were fortunate to lose two out of three and not lose any ground . . . (Monday) is the most important game we will play this year.

It was a lot of fun and we had a lot of talk about it last winter, but it's over with. We had fond memories, but they have nothing to do with this year. We're going to take our ground balls and do our fundamental just like we always do.
