He's not a real big guy, so here in September he's worn down a little bit as far as his velocity is concerned. But he's pitched well all year and he's helped us win baseball games. Thursday night against the Indians he felt good, but they were just hitting him.
More Quotes from Lou Piniella:
Devil Rays manager Lou Piniella, who has been running around ballfields as long as 62-year-old Mick Jagger has been strutting on stages, has seen as much of the Sox and Yankees as any opponent, and he doesn't know who rates the edge.
