Phil Garner Gotten Quotations

He has not been used a lot recently. He needed to throw tonight, so he was going to have to go. I actually debated bringing him in in the seventh if we had gotten in trouble. He was going to have to work hard tonight.

He had not been pitching on a consistent basis, ... Even though he had given up only two hits, he had gotten behind a lot of hitters.

I think it helped that our offense was aggressive from the start and our pitching has just slammed the door in their faces when we've gotten ahead in this series.

Wheeler might have gotten the biggest strikeout of the game on Bay. And Gallo keeps the momentum from turning on their side.

When you look back, there were a couple of points during the game where it could have gotten real close. It turned out OK, but I thought it was going to be real easy.

They have labored long and hard and suffered so much, ... They are the reason fans in Houston have gotten into baseball so much.

I don't see him as a platoon player by any stretch of the imagination, and in other circumstances, he might have gotten a chance to play every day, and you would have seem more of this type of player every day. We just didn't have the luxury of letting him fail a little bit along the way to becoming the player that he is.

The look that you saw in his face was total resolve, ... I don't think it was a matter of how long it was going to take, he was going to do whatever it took and I don't think I could have gotten the ball out of his hand anyway, and it was his game.
