Todd Pratt Quotations

He has been great, ... This is what the organization made that investment for.

He's been hot for the last 12 or 13 starts. You take away the Colorado game (on July 31). If you put those numbers up, it's been pretty awesome.

He's doing what an ace should do. He's our ace, that's the bottom line.

We don't go unless (Rollins) goes. He had a great series and was the biggest reason we went 2-1 against Florida. He has to understand that he's the key to this lineup.

I think Ryan's proven everything he can prove.

I think he really took his conditioning and strength training seriously this year and stayed with it. I've seen him more in the weight room this year than ever.

Especially when you see Houston there. I love baseball, but I'm definitely watching football. Plus, I have to keep up with my guys.

His conditioning and strength factor is much better than it was at the start of the season,

I wanted him to throw the same pitch and I gave him a signal to tell him, 'I'll block this one,'

I will say this: The last seven weeks of the season, these guys learned how to be winners. We're just as good as any team still playing.
