Yeah, I know those numbers. I like to take the game situation into account, too. I wouldn`t care if he (Ortiz) was 10-for-20 (against Rivera), I want my best guy in there.

It`s good to get a run but, if we get a hit in that situation, it could probably put a little more pressure on Ortiz. He caught his groove after that.
Daryle Ward
I don`t know how ready he was. Even during the season, sometimes you miss it. But sometimes you crush it. I`m pretty sure Ortiz thought that was a good pitch to hit.
Avi Farhan
[Ortiz] was able to get some runs. He got a little comfortable and then he caught his groove. It was kind of tough to get some pressure on him [after the third inning]. He pitched a good game. He went all nine. He kept his composure and he didn`t panic.
Daryle Ward
[Mark] Teixeira and [Hank] Blalock are power hitters. I`m not on their level. I`m a line-drive hitter who steals bases. Manny [Ramirez], David Ortiz, Alex [Rodriguez], those guys are power hitters.
Alfonso Soriano
[BOSTON ? Tie game, runner in scoring position and David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez due up in the 10th inning.] It`s about as bad as it gets, ... Those are the last two guys in the world you want to face with a guy on third base with less than two outs.
