calling home
As long as they keep calling down there, I'll keep going out there, and I'll give up another home run, I'm sure. That's just part of it.
albert bottom coming couple guys ninth time trying
Any time we go into the ninth with the bottom of the lineup coming up, ... all we're trying to do is get a hit, get a walk, get a couple of guys on -- because we know: We've got to get Albert up there.
pitch totally
If it's a one-run game, you pitch totally different.
gets jumps kids rule teach
He jumps down and he gets in their face. That's like the No. 1 rule ever, you never teach your kids to jump down and get in your dog's face. He does it.
carpenter course front guys mark taking
Of course we're better off. We got Carpenter healthy, and we got Mark Mulder. I'm not taking anything away from the other guys, but those two guys at the front of the rotation? They're pretty good.
mechanics
I think I have my mechanics back in order. Things are going in the right direction. It doesn't look like it totally, but to me, they are.
biggest eight happen page turn worked
My biggest thing, he worked his butt off for eight innings, and I go out and give up the lead, not once, but twice. It doesn't happen often. I'll turn the page and go out tomorrow. Tonight's over.
hitting people pitches swinging throw
I want to get in there as much as I can right now. I need to get people out; I need to throw pitches to people. I need to see how they're swinging at my pitches, and right now everything they're swinging at, they're hitting it pretty good.
bad pitch wish
Just one bad pitch I wish I could get back, but I can't. It's just frustrating more than anything, but we'll be back out there.
mind pitch ready realize time
That's just mind over matter, ... You have to go out there and realize what you're getting ready for. We've had this talk, me and Tony. Every time I go out there, I have to think I'm getting ready to pitch in the playoffs.
changes information
When they started going over the itinerary, I told them I didn't want to do that. It wasn't about not getting ready. When I first committed, we didn't have all the information about how long we were going to be away. I just wasn't comfortable with that because of all the changes we've made. I wanted to be part of it here.
expect phone
When he pitches, you don't expect the phone to ring.
