Quote: Church, Willie and Perez on Perez
Last night in a win against the Yankees, Oliver Perez let up two runs and three hits in 7.2 innings.
Ryan Church, on Perez, talking after the game, said:
“He’s a bulldog, man. He went out there and didn’t use our bullpen. What can you say? They stretched him out a bit, let him throw 100 pitches and he was able to go deep in the ball game.”
Willie Randolph, on Perez, said:
“He was outstanding…He got a nice little ovation when he walked off the mound, and I thought he deserved that.”
Perez, on Perez, talking to reporters, said:
“I want to do anything I can to help my teammates…I want to put us in good positions to win, and that is what I felt I was able to do.”
…the Mets picked up a few runs, extended their lead, and then perez came out and immediately surrendered two runs…and i was worried…but, he kept it together…outside of that, he never allowed more than one runner on base in an inning…
