adjective ahead good might pick plate seven six stayed
That was -- pick an adjective -- brilliant, outstanding. He was on the plate and he stayed ahead of the hitters. He's had seven outings for us, and six of them have been good ones, but this one might have been his best.
chances instead letting might runners score second
You want to get that runner, ... Yes, they might still have runners on first and second with one out, but you will take your chances with that instead of letting the go-ahead run score that late.

credit deserve exit heck might obviously performance starting victory wondering

holding wants
He wants to play, ... We're probably the ones who have been holding him back a little bit, but we have to.
friday full ready session sharp side
He's going to need at least one full side session to get him sharp enough to pitch, so if that comes Friday or Saturday, he's not going to be ready for this weekend,
