Brad Thompson Quotations

If we have a child interested in collecting leaves or rocks or taking pictures of plants or flowers, we'd certainly like to take the time to escort them and even do a few cool experiments. We've got a great soccer field where you can see every star in the sky, if a child is interested in the planets. And I'd love to learn from the kids, if they knew something I didn't know.

I didn't do a good job getting the ball down, ... I was leaving everything up. I can't do that.

Sure, I'd like to push for a bigger role. But the first thing I have to do is make the team. Everything else follows that.

It feels really good. I'm proud of the kids. We've had a great year already, and this is a chance to add to it.

We came into the game knowing that the bullpen was going to have do some work, so it was good to be able to do it. Cal did a great job starting. I figured that he would go three or four innings, so I was ready and when the phone rang I figured it was me.

This year I've liked coming out of the 'pen, so I think that was a more comfortable thing for me today,

I've been taken care of well, especially in the bullpen.

The witness lived across the street from the accident, heard the accident occur, ran to the scene and was able to help three of the four patients get out of the vehicle.

I've always been a two-way player, ... Basically, I'm just a hard-working guy that will contribute whenever I can and do what I can to help the team win.

You're supposed to throw strikes in that situation instead of wasting pitches. You don't want to stand out there walking guys, creating situations.

It's amazing waking up every day and seeing the mountains all around me instead of corn and stuff,

It was a good experience, ... It gave me a little taste of what this league is like. It helped me kind of know what I was coming into this year.

I've kind of been more erratic than I'd like to be, but I'm all right. The more times I get out there, the better I feel. I feel like I can make some adjustments and make some better pitches.
