Ramon Ortiz Quotations

With this team, if you can stay in the game for six or seven innings, you should win a lot of games, because we score a lot of runs,

One bad inning, five runs. That's baseball. It's crazy.

I don't know what happened. I think I tried to be too quick and my feet went the wrong way.

I felt good. I threw a couple of bad pitches, but I threw some good ones, too. They hit everything. Nothing you can do about that.

I feel good, ... I don't want to think about this start tonight. I got two more starts (this year).

I can't get this guy out. That's baseball and that's what happens sometimes. I'd like to figure this guy out.

I don't think I threw a lot of bad pitches. I threw good. I feel good.

I throw the ball very well. That's what I say to you. I know I threw a couple bad pitches tonight, but I threw a lot of good pitches, and they hit it.

I was pitching good. But I (didn't) make good pitches in the fifth.

Everything's coming together. Today I felt very comfortable with all my pitches. I'll have to keep it going.

Early in the year, we know what happened. I didn't feel too good. I was scared about the groin. I feel good now, and everything is working. I don't feel anything in the leg.

It's as if we have woken from a long nightmare,

I walked three people, but I threw the ball well. I threw the ball down. I don't feel bad about my start today. I made a lot of good pitches.

Nothing you can do about that. It's baseball.

I'm not happy about that. I know it's Frank's decision, but I'm not happy. I don't like that, because I'm not a rookie.

I'm not happy about that. I know it's Frank's decision, but I don't like it, because I like to pitch every five days. I don't like him doing it to me because I'm not a rookie.

I'm very happy to be in Washington, because I know a lot of guys in the team.

He told me I was going out in the ninth, and I said, 'Oh yeah, cool,' ... He gave me the opportunity. I was very happy about that.

He's the manager, what can I say. You pitch every five days and now 10 days, it's real different. You don't feel the way you usually pitch. It's not my decision, it's his decision. There's nothing I can do about that. There's nothing I can say. He's the manager.

I don't want to think about this start, ... I have two more left. I made a couple of bad pitches but I made a couple good ones that they hit.

I don't want to think about this game because I have two more to pitch. I felt good, threw a lot of good pitches. They hit 'em.

You can't think about a small ballpark. You have to keep the ball down. That's what you must do in the game. Everybody said the ball flew out in Cincinnati, but it's a good field. It doesn't matter if it's a small ballpark, big ballpark. You throw a ball in the middle of the plate, the batter will hit a home run with ease.
