John Flaherty Good Quotations

He had great stuff but not great location. But his stuff was good enough to overpower that lineup.

I think he feels good about what he did. When you put in the hard work and see the benefit and the rewards, it's gratifying for him. Hopefully he'll get on that run that we expect him to get on.

With Randy on the mound, we feel we have a good chance to win. Hopefully we will play better defense.

You'd think you were taking good swings off him, but his ball had a little extra life on it, and you'd foul it off. He steps up on the big stage, and he did it today.

You can place blame any where you want to. You can maybe say that Randy went a little too far. There's probably some truth to that, but I was surprised that Fieldin threw him out as quickly as he did knowing the kind of umpire that he is. He's a very good umpire. I don't know if Randy stepped over the line. I didn't necessarily think he did.

It's not a deterrent. There's nothing like playing here, like having the last at-bat. But we feel good about ourselves, home or on the road.
