(Cappy) had pretty good stuff but he fell back behind and you can't do that against St.Louis. We're glad we could get the win for him. |
(Capuano) just struggled all day. He could never get it going. We had too many walks all day. We ended up with nine. When a team has been struggling to score runs a little bit like they have, you can't help them out by putting runners on. Then it only takes one hit instead of three to score a run. That was evident in the first inning. |
(Davis) tried to overthrow a breaking ball (to Burke) and he hung it. |
(Davis) was happy about it. Matching up against Roger Clemens it looked like an impossible task. Really Doug labored throughout the whole game. He didn't have his best stuff. He ended up getting through it. |
(Fielder) has been in a major league clubhouse his whole life. He's not awed or wide-eyed by this. He knew he was destined. |
(He) didn't even really make a bad pitch to Jason Bay. |
[A Milwaukee columnist has launched a campaign to bring back the old m-b logo, and Ned Yost is all for it.] I like the logo, ... It wouldn't bother me if they changed back to it. I'm like everybody else. I'd love the hats. |
[Goals in Milwaukee are appropriately modest.] We've got to find a way to get to .500 first, and if we can get there this year or next, then we can think about being competitive, ... Right now, we're battling no one but ourselves. |
[Grieve will begin the season as the starter in right, and manager Ned Yost believes Grieve can reach his former home run totals playing at Miller Park.] This ballpark is tailor-made for Ben, ... It's a park made for fly-ball hitters with power to the alleys, and that's what he is. |
[Hitters] know they're going to get very little to hit, and they know they're going to have to stay disciplined in their approach and take what he gives you, ... You can't go up there looking to drive the ball out of the ballpark. |
[Maholm] had a good idea. His fastball was sinking. He had a good changeup, a good slider. Our reports were very true on him. He's a kid who's made a rapid rise. |
[When they won their 10th straight game last week, manager Ned Yost and his coaching staff went through with a promise to wear Hooters waitress outfits on a plane trip from Cincinnati to Chicago.] You've got to have fun in this game, ... Some people believe in it. Some people don't. |
A lot of this stuff you learn in games. That's where you learn because it's at game speed. Experience you gain in a game is farm more valuable than going out and practicing something. |
Adams just made a mistake on a slider down the middle and the kid hit it out. And the bases just happened to be loaded at the time. |
Adversity is a great teacher if you stop and learn something from it. He has done everything he needs to do. He's back on a good roll. |
