Quick Quotes
"I just felt like I had a good grip on the ball, I could really manipulate it when I needed to, to get a little sink to it. You want to get more run than sink. I was able to do different things. You get a little bit more moisture there. Your hand feels better on the ball. You have a better feel for the ball."
-Chase Anderson on his strong outing
"I saw Dave kind of getting in the middle there, saw the throw and went," Pollock said. "It's a good chance, good try right there. I wanted to get the best jump I could. I knew no matter what they would have to make a good throw. It was definitely worth getting out there and cheating a little bit. Morse had the ball. It worked out."
-A.J. Pollock on his steal of home
"They're looking at him with his recovery after the last outing. I think we're going to give him a little more time off this time and pitch him. His next outing will be out with an affiliate, but I think it's going to be a little bit later than we thought it was going to be. We'd rather give him more time now than have to give him more time later."
-Chip Hale on Patrick Corbin
