Phil Garner Control Quotations

No, I don't like the way that game turned out, but we still control our destiny.

I didn't like the way that game turned out, of course not. Still, we control our destiny. We have to play hard, tighten it up a little bit.

But when a guy can throw 97 miles an hour like he was last year and he's throwing it right to the corners, and he's got a power slider, that's going to hurt you. You can't hit that guy. That's why he was lights out last year. His control has not been there this year.

What you saw tonight is not unusual, ... Boy, he stepped up large for us tonight and just took control of the ballgame. He just absolutely dominated the game.

He's pitched very, very good for us. I'm surprised his control has been better than most guys in their first year after surgery.

I feel that we have not seen his best game, although I can see why people are very high on him. He has a great downhill tilt, he looks like when he gets his game together, he can control both sides of the plate. He's down in the zone. I would hope he would go down there and pitch right from the get-go and put a little heat on us up here.

I think we want to take it down to the wire. That's the way we've been playing it, so that's what we're going to do. We've just got to buckle down and play good ball now. We're still in control of our destiny.

Is the glass half full or half empty, ... It's half full. We control our own destiny.

We've got to buckle down and play some good ball. We're still in control of our own desitny. If we can't win it, we can't win it. It's simple as that.

They'll let Jimmy control the clubhouse, and he'll get the backing from the front office because of his good relationship with Dombrowski from their time together with the Marlins.

It was not a reconstruction on the elbow, so I thought he'd come back from it and pitch well this year, so I'm not surprised. What surprises me is that his control had been is as good as it has been. Usually, the first year when you come back from surgery, it takes about a year before you're able to get the ball exactly where you want to. But he's done a pretty good job of locating pitches.
