Chris Carpenter Hit Quotations

I actually enjoy pitching here. It's a nice place. I like the park. The mound is good. If you start concerning yourself with that short wall in left, the next thing you know, you go away from your game. They still have got to hit it out there.

They are a lot like our club. They take quality at-bats. They are patient and they have an idea about what they are doing and the pitcher they are facing. They've got speed. They've got some guys who can hit the ball out of the park. They have got quality guys from top to bottom, and you've definitely got to be on your game and make quality pitches to get these guys out.

An unbelievable feeling. As soon as he hit it, you knew it was gone.

It was a strange night. I put good swings on two balls and hit them hard. It was nice, but it would have been nice to win.

I made a good, quality pitch down and away and he hit it into the seats. I was confident in the pitch, I was confident in the location and the result wasn't what I wanted.

I made a bad pitch. I threw a sloppy cutter up there and he hit it.

I can control the game down in the strike zone with them and keep the ball down. It's tough to elevate when you hit a lot of ground balls.
