Erik Anderson Quotations

Max has hit so well in the 2-hole throughout his career; Parkinson hits wherever he is - he's one guy we can move up and down the lineup; and Mickey in the 9-hole is outstanding.

He is the strongest hitter in this program, and he has been for the last three years.

We have to be able to contain him (Johnson). He's a fast quarterback, he's young, but he's a great athlete. So we just have to be able to contain him and not let him get outside.

He was very pretty irritated. It was kind of scary, having someone call you up like that and ask you to recant your statement.

Kyle Gibbons will be a luxury when he gets back. And that 3-4-5 will be murderous.

Last night I got a little advice from my dad: Just have fun and lighten up the atmosphere. It's worked one game in a row, we'll see what happens Tuesday (at Montezuma-Cortez).

We'll find out. The weather definitely hasn't helped us much.

The 9-hole is my most favorite position in the lineup. Nobody ever expects that player can hit.

We're not sure who are No. 2 is going to be. As of now, we're just calling him Johnny All-Staff.

What we're trying to do is trying to have reproduction of species in captivity so that if we do lose them in the wild, there's an option.

Way better. It wasn't great, but it was much, much better.

We're putting the ball in play. But if we don't start playing defense, we're not going to win anything.

Communicate respectfully with the person. It's important parents talk to other parents and learn what questions to ask.

Defensively, we're as good as we have ever been.

This fleet has been shrunk in a 10-year time frame to relatively nothing. This will just get rid of more boats.

This is a tree frog that's possibly a new species.

I owe a dollar to the fine box. The kids won the game despite me.

It's tough when you break down like that in the seventh.

Clearly, it was a crucial time because of the difficulties in the technology capital markets. We had to face the question of do you continue or not.

He's our No. 1. He's been throwing the ball pretty well, but we're going to limit his pitches until after spring break. League play is what is most important - and his health more than anything.

All three of our pitchers (Thursday) gave me a tremendous amount of confidence.

That's probably my fault. He was pitching on three days rest.

It's like I said, if you can't pick it up, you can't win.

It was a very good day for him.

It was a red play. Which means do not run until the ball is out of the infield.

And he reached back and threw the ball like we knew he could. His command (control) was outstanding. That was the best aspect of his game.
