Jim Tracy Count Quotations

Ian Snell made an adjustment from what he was doing early on and got the ball down to where he could be very effective. He forced the opposition to have to swing the bat. He got himself some early-count outs. As a result, he kept his pitch count in order and was able to go through the fourth inning.

It goes without saying that if you continue to work behind in the count that it makes it extremely tough to compete. It's not what you want to see.

Our golden opportunity was in the seventh inning. We had the bases loaded, we had one out, we had a 3-1 count and we just didn't get it done.

In the second inning, his breaking ball for a strike early in the count was a lot better than it was in the first inning.
