Oh how we chirp when we are winning!
After the Padres beat the Giants last night in a pitcher’s duel (the Giants only allowed 2 hits in the loss), here’s what the Padres starter, Chris Young, said after the game:
“We’ve got great character in here and I don’t think we’re going to panic or worry, especially in close games,” Young said. “The way our bullpen is, we feel like if we can keep it close, our bullpen is going to hold it for us, then we’ll push across a few runs and win it.”
Reminds me of some other team chirping just a few days ago…
After the Orioles beat the Yankees on Friday night, 6-4, here are some quotes from various Orioles personnel:
“They come from winners,” Perlozzo said of his imported relievers, who cost more than $40 million on the open market. “They come from teams that had been in playoffs and been on good teams. I didn’t expect them to fold.”
“That’s what we paid for,” Gibbons said of the bullpen. “We got our starter to give us some strong innings, and we got our bullpen to lock it down.”
“If our starter comes out with a lead it’s going to be tough to beat us,” Ray said.
That last part really cracked me up as less than 24 hours later the Orioles pen blew a 4-run lead going into the bottom of the 8th inning (with Ray allowing the walk-off GS to A-Rod)!
