Dave Duncan Situation Quotations

You get in and get it behind you, and your focus changes the second time around. That's a big adrenaline burst for anybody no matter what the situation is. We needed to try to get it under their belt.

Delgado was very aggressive and swung at balls that weren't strikes. There was no need in that situation to throw him a strike. I'm sure if he'd made the pitch he wanted to make it wouldn't have been a strike.

You can't always do what you would like to do, so you just hope the situation presents itself. You're aware of how much they're throwing, how hard (the starters) are working. That influences what you do. But we're still going to play the games and try to win them.

It's a real plus when you have a guy who can come into a situation anywhere from the sixth inning on and get a huge out for you. It's even better if he can get a strikeout when you need it. That's a weapon not every team has.

He's got a lot of talent. He's from Los Angeles, so hopefully that will be a good situation for him.
