Rick Burleson Quotations

It's going to be a good series. We still have to pitch and execute. They've got the best offensive team in the league by far. But we've shown we can beat them.

I don't know what the taco was thinking.

We talked at length to our pitchers about not giving up walks. Walks will come back to get you. Throwing strikes and allowing the defense to makes plays gives us an opportunity to win. That's it in a nutshell.

If we don't throw strikes and we don't catch the ball, we're asking for trouble. (Today) we were constantly looking for trouble.

Obviously, with Helena winning and with us winning, that puts Missoula in a tougher position. But now, for us it's about going out and performing again. This game is over and we did our job. Now we have to come out and do it again (tonight).

We haven't done a lot offensively all year, really, in terms of our team numbers. But if we pitch well and catch the ball on defense, we can do enough to win a ballgame. And that's exactly what happened tonight.
