bright spot strong
He's a strong young man. Really, he was the only bright spot offensively.
count deeper game hopefully limited next pitch time
Hopefully we can get his pitch count up so he can go deeper into the game the next time out. He'll be limited the first time out, though. We can't let him go 100 pitches.
missing pitch
When they get a pitch to hit, ... they're not missing it.
nice rewarded
He's pitched some very nice ballgames. For him to be rewarded with a W, that's nice.
proud root ties whether
He has ties with the Tigers. He was there when I signed. Whether I'm there or not, I'll always be a Tiger, and I'll always root for the Tigers, because I'm a part of their history, and I'm proud of that.
good pitching talking
He had a good curveball. Talking with the Toledo staff, when he's pitching well, that's something he has to have.
cramp dugout good later rid
He had a cramp and just couldn't get rid of it. He was in the dugout later in the game, so that was a good sign.
ball gets jump position seem
He doesn't seem to panic. He gets a jump on the ball and then is in the right position to make his leap.
felt warming
He felt it warming up a little bit, but thought it was nothing,
borderline fell swung
He fell behind, and we swung at a borderline pitch.
appear bother tough
He doesn't appear to let things bother him. That was a tough situation.
credit deserve exit heck might obviously performance starting victory wondering
But it was a heck of a performance by our bullpen. Obviously it will be forgotten, but they deserve a lot of credit all the same. They had us wondering if something unbelievable (a 1-0 victory after a first-inning exit by a starting pitcher) might happen, but you know what, it didn't.
best gets happen interviews moved swing
I have moved on. Doing these interviews really gets me back in the swing of things. After being let go, it's the best thing that could happen to me.
advantage given taken
We've given him an opportunity, ... but he's taken advantage of it. And it'll only make him better in the long run.
