Scot Shields Quotations

I wish we could go out there and play again, ... I wish this was a doubleheader.

If we have a lead in the seventh inning and you're throwing him two innings and Frankie one, we're looking pretty good, ... Everybody knows what Escobar can do, and he's giving guys like myself and Brendan Donnelly some rest. And if you look at what we've done the past few weeks, we're as strong as we've ever been. That's a pretty good thing to have.

I got lucky on that, ... I caught a little too much of the plate. I'm happy he didn't swing at it.

I got lucky, ... It caught too much of the plate, and I was glad he didn't swing at it.

It was a real good time. I had a blast. I didn't want to be back here this early, but the overall experience was good.

That's a tough spot to put yourself into, with one of the best RBI guys ever. I wish he would have hit it a little harder. We might have had a chance to turn two. But Figgins made a nice play just to get the one out and keep it a one-run game.

I was pumped. It is an honor to be on the same team with the rest of those players.

You have to wake yourself up and get ready to play.

He's got five plus pitches and great makeup on the mound. That's pretty tough for hitters, especially in late innings.

I'm happy where I'm at right now pitching the seventh, eighth inning ... doing my job and then watching Francisco (Rodriguez) come in and do his job. I'll be his setup man for the rest of my career. That's fine with me. I'm perfectly fine where I am.
