Matt Stallbaumer Quotations

I addressed him: 'Come on, let's go.' I didn't expect to see him struggling to finish.

(Wednesday) showed, as we have all season, that when we can't come out and get a lead, we're not a very good ball club. We feed off of being able to dictate tempo. But when we fall behind, we struggle in those situations.

To see him battle all of the injuries and illnesses is exciting. Everything has happened to this kid. He sees it as a challenge. He's out to prove a point. A collapsed lung isn't going to keep him out.

The vote took place before all of this happened.

His hands were clammy and cold. He couldn't get comfortable. He complained that he felt sharp pains, and then they'd go away.

You've got to make the routine plays, especially late in extra innings. It's frustrating.
