Felipe Alou Innings Quotations

Barry was supposed to go four at-bats, but we had some long innings at night. I just didn't think one more at-bat or one trip to the outfield was going to do that much. He got a good workout.

He made tons of big pitches. It is hard to believe that a guy making his first start would be so sharp. You do not find a guy throwing eight innings on his first start.

We had one six-run inning, but that was it. There wasn't a whole lot going on. We did the same thing last night; we scored all our runs in one inning. That being said, I'd like two or three innings of scoring.

We have to respect the fact he's playing all those innings and getting all those at-bats. We believe he's going to hit one every time up.

I've got to say that was one of the worst innings I've ever seen since I put on a uniform.

I'm glad for Tyler. He's in the big leagues and he gets a shot at pitching more innings than he did with us. I believe he needed to pitch more, and that would not have been the situation here.

If there was any concern, I believe we'd take him out after seven innings last night. He looks healthy and fresh.
