“My first year in the big leagues was when he was with the Mariners. He's one of the game's greatest pitchers, but I don't get too excited over matchups and stuff like that.”
“It's the first time in my career that I've seen that. You're in your home stadium, you break up the visiting team's bid for a no-hitter and they're mad because [the scorer] gave it a hit and not an error. I don't understand that.”
“The part that's been frustrating for me is how we get to .500, we start to get over that hump and then something happens and we go back down to it. We just can't break it,”
“I've never seen anything like that before. Usually when home teams break up no-hit bids, the crowd cheers the hit and cheers the pitcher. I've never seen them boo before.”
