Quotes: Beltran, Wright and Maine, from last night
Carlos Beltran, David Wright and John Maine talked to reporters from the clubhouse after last night’s loss, and said the following, according to SNY:
Beltran, on moving up to third from fifth in the batting order:
“Well, Jerry Manuel told me in spring training that we was going to be able to move the lineup around, and if he feels that way, my approach tomorrow will be the same as hitting fifth. I don’t think just because you’re hitting third you have to do anything differently. You just go out there and do the best you can.”
Wright, on the team’s offense in general:
“We’re in a tough spot right now. We’re struggling a bit. You know, we need to continue to put together some good at bats, and hopefully those line drives and hard ground balls start finding some holes and we can produce some runs… Jerry is the manager, I’ll hit where he tells me to hit.”
Maine, on his poor 
performance last night, during which he allowed five runs in five innings pitched:
“I’m a better pitcher than this. I’m working hard between starts and I’m just not getting the results right now. It’s gonna turn around, because a lot of times I’m making the pitches I want to make and I’m just hair off – once I get that I’ll be fine… I’m working hard. I know I’m better than this, and it’s gonna turn around.”
