Quotes of the Day
I don't feel like I've thrown that bad until today. It weighs on you because you have to wait five more days. That's what (stinks) about this game. You do that, then you throw two bad pitches and it changes your whole day. If I had just gotten one more strike, it would have been a day where you battled throughout.
-- Ian Kennedy
We didn't have anything going at all. We didn't make any adjustments to what he was doing. He was trying to start off with off-speed pitches and we were out in front. We didn't have a good approach. It should because we only had four hits
-- Kirk Gibson
It's real frustrating when you're so close and you can't finish it out. You're going to kick yourself maybe even more than if I'd only gone three innings and given up 10. It's a bad feeling.
It’s not so much the park. I think your body feels a little different there. Throughout the course of the season, when you are playing at altitude, you are coming home from the road and your body doesn't recover as quickly. When you go in and out of there for a series, you don’t necessarily notice it as much as when you are there for an extended period.
