He's just around the proverb

 He's just around the plate all the time, and that keeps our defense ready. I don't think the hitters ever really feel like they're ahead in the count. He just gave us a big lift today and a big outing because, gosh, we needed it.

 Brooks got ahead of most of the hitters today, and he's got too many weapons to put you away when he does that. He had his command, he got out of some early trouble, we gave him a little bit of offense and that's what we needed. We showed a lot of character with the quick turnaround after a tough 11-inning loss. We were ready to go and that's a good sign.

 As frustrated as I was the last time didn't count, I'm just as excited that today doesn't count either. I don't know . . . I feel fine, no issues at all. Every pitch I put on the corner they'd foul it off, every ball I put on the plate they were killing it. It's just a day you hope you don't have too many of and I had one today.

 He was aggressive and went after hitters from the get-go. He threw his fastball for strikes early in the count and got ahead of hitters, which made his breaking stuff that much more effective. It was a completely different guy today.

 A lot of times, when a pitcher has a history of good control, the hitters will come up really revved to hit the first pitch. Sometimes that works out for them and sometimes it doesn't. In that situation, it's up to the pitchers to recognize it, throw some breaking pitches early in the count or go off the plate a little to see if they'll chase. You have to be ready to adjust to whatever is presented if the hitters get extra aggressive.

 I think overall, it was pretty poor. It wasn't a very good outing. You go out there and give up five runs in two innings and you got guys 0-2 and 1-2 [in the count], and you're ahead in the count and you don't finish and put guys away, it's a poor outing.

 I had trouble working ahead of hitters tonight. I was always having to come back [in the count]. I gave up a lot of hits [on 2-0 counts].

 Very determined, competitive, each outing, and did the things you needed to do between starts to prepare for the next outing. And Dave gives you that competitiveness. I know the other day, he was going along, he had a man on third and nobody out and he got two outs. You think he's out of the inning, and he gave up a hit and gave up a run. He was really ticked about it. So that's the kind of thing that you like to see in a guy.

 Luke looked like his old self today. He was consistently ahead in the count against most hitters and was throwing all of his pitches for strikes.

 I got ahead of a lot of hitters in that game, and really that's what I need to do every time out. Controlling the count is very important.

 I still think there is a scarcity of pitching. Pitchers are supposed to be ahead of the hitters. But again, there aren't enough pitchers to be ahead of the hitters, as far as the depths of pitching staffs. Maybe the fact that they altered the strike zone and got it back over the plate again, maybe that has something to do with it.

 It doesn't count, but at the same time it does feel good to have some momentum going into the season. I feel ready to go. My leg is healthy, I just really haven't tried to force it yet because the games don't count.

 It wasn't a bad outing. it wasn't a great outing. It was just a Spring Training outing. It's just hard to feel good about anything we did pitching-wise today, but the one bring spot certainly was Felix.

 I left some balls in the middle of the plate. I was trying to find it again today. For the most part, I felt pretty good. I got some ground balls when I needed to. I definitely wouldn't say it was a great outing.

 Sam pitched very well today. She's at her best when she is throwing strikes, getting ahead in the count and putting the ball in play so the defense can make plays behind her. She did all those things today.
