Gerald Laird Quotations

We were cruising right along. He left a couple of pitches up and over the plate. That stuff happens.

If it's the shoes, we'll ride it as long as we can.

He was unbelievable. He's pitching great. Now he's starting to get comfortable and get into the flow of the game. When he came over, he hadn't pitched that many innings. Now he's getting into a groove and really commanding the inside part of the plate.

Coco is our closer. We live and die with him. I think he is great. Sometimes you have a night you can't find the rhythm.

Being patient and relaxed is the key. You have to let the ball come to you, because it moves so much. You get too aggressive and go after a ball, with the late movement, that's when you have some problems.
