Quote: The More K-Rod Throws, the Better he Feels
Francisco Rodriguez used 13 pitches against three batters to record his eighth save of the season last night against the Phillies.
According to the Elias Sports Bureau, courtesy of ESPN.com, last night was the second time this season Rodriguez saved a 1-0 victory for Santana.
Rodriguez has pitched three days in a row.
He has appeared in four of the team’s five games this month.
“Some people get tired, some people don’t like to go three or four days in a row. I can go five days in a row, no problem. The more I throw, the better I feel.”
…the more you throw, the better i feel, too…
Jerry Manuel explained to reporters following the game that he was sure to check in with Rodriguez during batting practice, and just before the game started to be sure he was feeling good.
