Miguel Batista Good Quotations

I threw good my last outing. At least today we got to stretch it out to the amount of pitches we wanted. We got a lot of first-pitch outs, so that helped me go through more innings.

When you have a good defense, you have the luxury of pitching aggressively. It's bad when you have a team that doesn't catch the ball, then you have to pitch defensively, and that's the worst thing you can do as a pitcher -- avoid contact.

It's good to be back. There is a more difference when it comes to faces, but it's still the same organizational with the same purpose.

It was good to see that things are coming along good. The team looks solid. The guys are hitting the ball pretty good.
