"Now I tell these fellers (his pitchers) they can't pitch these other fellers (the Pirates) high but they do it so you have to say it was pitching that beat us. There ain't much you can do about those balls that nobody can field. They give Nelson that high ball and there it goes. Smith gets a high one and then them other fellers are back in the game and then we have to fight back to get even again. Then Mazeroski gets another high ball just like he did in the first game and that's all there is to it. Maybe it will be a lesson to them fellers."
