"Kaz wears his emotions on his sleeve, win or lose. I like the fact that he doesn't have a facade. He doesn't try to be this intimidating guy. His stuff is intimidating enough. His success ratio is intimidating enough that he doesn't have to carve himself into a Fu Manchu and snarl at the hitters and blow spit and snot all over the place." -Bryan Price, Mariner pitching coach

"When we looked at things, we knew that the West teams had all improved. And we were facing the Bostons, New Yorks and Chicagos, too. It was going to be a challenge. And now we've gone 32-11. I wouldn't have picked any team in baseball to go 32-11 against this schedule. I think that's pretty damn impressive. What facing these top quality teams does is challenges you to play your best every single day." -Bryan Price, Mariner pitching coach

"That was a great matchup, a classic. It was something special to watch." -Bryan Price, Seattle pitching coach

"What a group of guys. Even better than last year. This team is all the corny cliches. It's an us-before-me mentality." -Bryan Price, M's pitching coach

"This works because there are 25 guys who feel they're making a contribution to the club." -Bryan Price
