Jeff Messer Quotations

Most pitchers have one pitch to strike out batters. Derek has three.

He is a very competitive person. He is one of top two or three hitters on the team. He is one heck of a player and is one of the key players that make us tick.

It could be auctioned for $8,000. But our dive team doesn't have a boat.

I was concerned. But I knew we were a better team than what we were showing.

That's the way he was last year. He's not overpowering, but he hits his spots.

We're very thankful she's alive and wasn't seriously injured. Whether you're 25 or 75, we don't recommend chasing after the person who stole your purse.

We are trying to make it more friendly for law enforcement to make arrests and more friendly for the community to report these types of incidents.

We are very much looking into this complaint.

Every couple of hours, he'd pop back up. We knew he was there. We're not just going to walk off on that.

The whole weekend we didn't swing the bats very well.

The security there refused to break it up. It took 15 officers to restore order.

Once the sentencing in this case is complete we are going to look at all the evidence federal authorities have obtained and will release. We will use it to evaluate the handling of this investigation and future investigations.

It's just a matter of everyone relaxing and playing consistent. You have to put hitting, pitching and defense together.

It's karma. All Johnny Pun did was good. His whole life was about doing good for others.

It made a difference playing outside for a few days. The biggest thing was playing together in live situations. The first few games were tense. We were trying to do too much.

I'm not overly concerned about it. But I'm realistic to know that this isn't one of our stronger offensive teams that we've ever had.

Before we could turn around, he was out of sight.
