approach facing good guys happy hitters work
Those guys are pretty good hitters so you just have to approach it that way. I got my work in so I was happy about that. I was working just like I was facing the Orioles.
aggressive count early good guys nine obviously pitch pitches quality streak thinking throw time today work
I wasn't really thinking about it. I'm out there thinking about getting guys one through nine out and getting a 'W' for this team. The streak he had was nice, but obviously it has to end sometime. I know he's a pretty aggressive hitter. Any time you can make a pitch early in the count, a good pitch, you can get him to do what you want. He doesn't usually work the count pretty deep. We were able to throw some quality pitches on him today and get success.
allowed arm balls early good life quick slot tempo work zone
I really had a good tempo with my delivery, which allowed me to work balls down in the zone and have life on the ball. It allowed me to get a lot of quick outs early and get my arm in a good slot every other pitch.
attacking believer firm sticking strengths until works
I'm a firm believer in you sticking with your strengths and what works for you. Until they show you they're going to make an adjustment, you keep attacking them the same way.
balls quick throwing top
I thought I was on top of my game. I was a little quick early, throwing the balls a little too down in the zone, but I was able to make the adjustments.
battle defense nights offense picked
My offense picked me up tonight, my defense picked me up tonight. You're going to have nights like that. You just battle through them.
job pay pitches zone
I was up in the zone and they made me pay for the pitches that I didn't get down. I didn't do my job tonight.
doubting start streak
When you go through a streak like that, you start doubting yourself.
shut true
You look out there, ... and there aren't too many true aces out there that are going to shut you down.
left six tony
We still had, what, six outs left to go when Tony was tossed?
among delivery edge extra help last looks ourselves rhythm smooth spring start talk watching year
To me watching him, the rhythm of his delivery is a lot smoother and a lot better. We talk among ourselves about things. Anything to help us get that extra edge we try to find. It looks like his delivery is smooth and not as choppy as it was last year. His first spring start of this year was better than any start he had last year.
enjoy game help helps hitting win
I enjoy hitting and anything I can do to help win the game helps the team.
good innings overall third
For two innings I thought I did a pretty good job. I got a little fatigued in the third inning. They were out there swinging, but overall I thought it went pretty good.
balanced bullpen series
To get to the World Series and the NLCS, you have to have a balanced team. That's just not the rotation; it's the bullpen as well.
