Quotes

"When guys play well, they should be talked about. He's having a good season, he's having a good run right now. He's showing what we all thought he could do. Like I said before, he's such an athlete sometimes he could look ugly at the plate and he makes adjustments and good athletes can do that."

- Chip Hale o A.J Pollock
