Famous quotes by Pete Mackanin:

"Two outs, man on second. And everything kind of fell apart."

"Our offense needs some tinkering to make a few things happen."

"It was a really well pitched game on his part. He certainly pitched well enough to win. He's got two more starts this year and I think he's going to finish up strong."

"The trainer recommended he didn't play today just to be cautious."

"I don't like the way he's swinging. He says he's 100 percent healthy, but I choose to believe something's bothering him."

"When he gets to that 100-pitch level, that's kind of the determining factor."

"I think he's more suited for the bullpen. I've been wrong before about players, and I'd like for him to show he's a starter."

"We think he's got a chance to be a pretty good pitcher. Whether that's in the bullpen or as a starter we're not exactly sure, but we want to give him every opportunity to start."

"[The win] was huge. Any time a team does that it is a big deal, for us, especially. We've got our backs against the wall. Nobody expects us to do much. We keep talking about our young players and the mistakes. At some point, somebody's got to do something."

"When he hit that second one, I took a deep breath."
