SnakeBytes 7/12: Owned by Harvey

Quotes

"I think that Robbie Ray is one of the guys who's kind of the leader of the staff right now if you look at the performance. It's really surprising after Spring Training, with the troubles he had in spring, troubles locating his fastball and the off-speed pitches being a part of his repertoire. He's come up here from Reno and really impressed. I think that's one of the good signs."

- Chip Hale on Robbie Ray

"He's not scared at all. It's pretty good to see from somebody with not that much experience to just come up and pound the strike zone and get guys out."

- Daniel Hudson on Andrew Chafin
