"He's a veteran hitter who has been successful his whole career at putting the bat on the ball ... I would imagine that the more someone puts the ball in play in front of you, the more chances you'll have to knock them in."

"Not their best pitcher, but the guy with the best stuff for one inning"


Matt Stairs Mar 21 2010 7:12 AM from San Diego Union-Tribune

"I’ve had success my whole life hitting home runs while pinch-hitting"


Matt Stairs Mar 21 2010 7:12 AM from San Diego Union-Tribune
