Sidney Ponson Ball Quotations

I was all right until the seventh. It went downhill from there. I was pretty ticked off. I almost blew the whole thing right there. I left the ball right down the middle for Schneider and he did what he was supposed to do. He hit a double, but I'm glad he didn't hit a homer.

I was all over the place. My shoulder was flying open. I couldn't throw the ball where I wanted. But when I needed to do what I needed to do, somehow I did it.

I'm happy about the way I threw the ball today. My goal is to get as many ground balls as I can. I don't like to strike people out. I pitch to contact.

I just leave the ball down the middle for Schneider and he did what he was supposed to do. I'm glad he didn't hit a home run.

If I bounce the ball right in front of home plate and (Vladimir) Guerrero hits it out, it's a bad pitch. So, it's not a good pitch.

The main thing is I worked on keeping the ball down in the zone, and 75 percent of the time I did keep it down, instead of 50-50.
