Gene Stephenson Ball Quotations

He hit that fastball about as good as you can hit it. When he hit it, I knew it was gone. I don't know if everybody else did, but I knew. It excited me.

They can go get the ball with anybody and make all the plays.

He was ahead in the count most of the time, and he commanded his breaking ball down. I thought he threw with confidence.

Not like it used to be. It didn't seem like we were excited -- this whole ballpark just seemed quiet all night to me.

I mean, we've scored 12 runs in the last five games. It was another weak, anemic night, more of the same. It's just we were never in the game after we couldn't pitch and keep them under control. Once we started giving up runs, letting fly balls drop and throwing to the wrong base, down by six runs seemed like 60.
