Adam LaRoche Quotations

Losing that second game the way we did, it almost feels like we've been swept. That's a tough loss.

I wouldn't have even known that if you didn't just tell me. It feels like we might have won one game on this entire road trip.

I don't know exactly what it is. But any time you've got a guy, as dominating as he can be when he's on, getting hit around, you know something is different.

(Francoeur is) unbelievable. I forgot the kind of pop he has. When he first hit it, I thought it was going to be caught. It was 20 feet over the fence.

He froze a few hitters out there. I was impressed.

Today, it kind of felt like it came together.

I think as a young guy on another team, there could be a selfish side to it,

I think it's the mentality of spring training and the mentality of the minor leagues. You know when you put that Braves jersey on, you're coming to the field to win every night.

Statistically there was no way they could keep doing what they had been doing the first week and a half of the season. It was gonna turn. It was just a matter of time.

I think I was 0-for-4 with three strikeouts,

That was filthy. Of all the lefties I've faced this year, that's the best curveball I've seen.

We'll probably get away with it, ... but that's not the kind of ball you want to be playing.

You know, it takes something different once in a while to get somebody out.

Tough play. I should've ate it. I threw to the inside of the bag, just as I was releasing the ball, he went to the outside.

Any time you lose a few in a row, you have to hit reset and come back tomorrow and do the best you can to forget about how the past series went. It's frustrating. Individually it's frustrating. I'm trying to figure it out. And I know as a team, it sucks losing a few in a row any time. So you know, we'll snap out of it.

Today, ... anything you can come up with that works is worth trying.

This trip feels like it has lasted a month. That's what happens when you lose, stuff gets drug out.

This was a big one because it lets them know that we're not going to lay down and let them win the division.

There's nothing worse than to lose in the first round, ... I'd rather not be in the playoffs at all. There's nothing worse than to have to go home after a loss.

As soon as he didn't break, it didn't cross my mind until after the fact that the pitcher was on first and even though I had to get up, I might have had a shot at getting him at second. If you get a late break on Rollins, nine times out of 10, he's going to beat you to the bag.

It's just one of those things. I gambled and lost. It just didn't work out. The guys battled real hard, we just couldn't get a couple of balls to fall in the ninth inning.

It was decent offensively. We could have scored some more. We got some hits, but we didn't put them together like I thought we should have.

It was a tight (strike) zone tonight, so you could look for your pitch, ... Good for hitters, bad for pitchers.

It's basically like having two No. 1 starters.

It's not fun. But we can't quit. We still have a lot of ball left. We can't let this eat at us.

Not that I will have anything to do with it,

That guy's unbelievable. That's some serious pop. The guy's huge. I felt like a little girl standing next to him at first base. No offense to girls.

It was miscommunication, ... It was my fault.

I don't think they'll all be like this. If they are, I'll have a head full of grey hair by the end of the year.

He's huge. I wonder if they've tested him yet.

He can do it all. He doesn't just hit home runs. He drives in a lot of runs and he saves a lot of runs in the outfield. He's got to be one of the top-five all-around players in the league.
