He did a great job. He just kind of teased the strike zone, throwing borderline pitches and making you chase them. It shows you that if you have good pitching, it stops good hitting.
You can throw everything everybody's done up to now out the window,
He was throwing strikes, that's the thing. You try to be patient, but if he's throwing strikes with it, you find yourself in the hole.
It was a little scary when he starting throwing punches, ... I was scared. I didn't want to get hit.
Moose, don't tell me you're throwing all your pitches yet, are you?
You're going to win more games with pitching than you are with offense. Our pitching staff seems to have settled in pretty good. They're throwing the ball well.
Their bullpen is pretty good. Any guy they throw out there doesn't put you in an ideal situation as a hitter.
He has nasty stuff. He was throwing inside and made me go to right. I guess I was due.
They're a completely different team (than Tampa Bay).
He's that way in the dugout during games,
(The fans) were with him until he got picked off second.
They do all the little things. I think they're a pest for most teams.
You can't take any more time. Adams gets down the line pretty good. He hit it slow; a high chopper. There was no time to flip to Robbie.
I've been lying to you guys for a long time, saying I wasn't nervous and there's no pressure. There was a lot of pressure to do it here.
