pressure threw
Pressure wasn't the problem. Everyone has pressure on them at this level. He threw really well. If we had it to do over, we'd do the same thing.
against hottest league team
They're the hottest team in the league right now. So for him to do that against a team like that, it's awesome.
ask everybody wants
I know everybody wants to see if we fail. If you had to ask me, I think we'll do the same thing we've done all year.
command great three turned
He's really turned into an unbelievable pitcher. He's got great command of all three of his pitches. He's only going to get better.
ball hitting locations second threw
He threw the ball OK. In the second inning, he wasn't hitting his locations like he wanted to. But he should be fine.
known since
He's the real deal. I've known that since he was about 10.
cover great matter quality sports
That's the great thing about him. It doesn't matter if he's on the cover of Sports Illustrated or if he's struggling, he's the same person. That's a great quality to have.
It was just one of those unfortunate innings. Let's get them out of the way now.
bounce carry happen pitching staff
It will never happen again. Our pitching staff is too good. They'll bounce back and carry us all year.
You couldn't write a better script, ... for any of this.
game mean mentality pressure series seventh
Our mentality is that we're going to play the same if it's the seventh game of the World Series or a game that doesn't mean anything. I don't think the pressure is going to get to any of us.
best poise starting three throw
He's just a starting pitcher. He's got three pitches, and he can throw them all for strikes. With his demeanor, he's got the best poise I've seen.
