Ryan Franklin Quotations

This is Ryan Franklin, fercryinoutloud! Get some hits!

He's probably their best hitter right now. I figured it was the right thing to do. He did a good job of getting ready to hit the ball. It was surprising.

I treat (pitchers) like non-hitters. I might have been trying to back off a little bit. From now on, I'll treat 'em like a .300 hitter.

I tried to quick-pitch him. I thought it was the right thing to do. All the times I've done it, I think I gave up one hit. But he did a good job getting ready to hit the ball.

You get more adrenaline coming out of the bullpen. It's going to be a challenge.

You're not going to find many fourth or fifth starters who can give you 200 innings,

I looked at it like the regular season, just trying to get guys out. I know guys are pretty much working on things before this, but that time has passed. Now, it's time to get ready for the regular season.

I know I have a job. I'm a starter. That's what they signed me here to be.

I don't want to say I wore out my welcome in Seattle, but I was ready to move on. I heard changes are good.

This is a hitter's park, but a lot of great games have been pitched here, too. You have to make your pitches. I didn't, and they capitalized on bad pitches.
