Tony Russa Pitcher Quotations

That's the kind of pitcher he is. We were buying outs at that point in the game, and he bought them all.

And then the other stuff falls into place. As you saw there, that's what he's been doing all year long. I can't remember seeing a pitcher all the years that I've managed that has been so good every time out.

Any pitcher can make a mistake, and we're good enough to capitalize. But (Arroyo) did enough good things. He got a lot of outs in a lot of different parts of the zone. That's good pitching. If we pitch good, I always think there's a chance we're going to break through any particular inning.

He pitched outstanding, and as long as this game is played, when a pitcher out there is pitching that way, you're not going to do much.
