chance good hopefully randy
With Randy on the mound, we feel we have a good chance to win. Hopefully we will play better defense.
anybody harder sharper throws
With Randy, it's pretty straightforward. What he throws is just harder and sharper than anybody else.
asleep bit fell
We fell asleep a little bit defensively, and we couldn't recover.
ball extra foul good life steps swings taking
You'd think you were taking good swings off him, but his ball had a little extra life on it, and you'd foul it off. He steps up on the big stage, and he did it today.
afford time willing
Even those who would be willing to take the time to do it can't. They just can't afford it.
pitching quality seems time
We're pitching well right now. Every time we go out there, it seems like we're getting a quality start. Hopefully, that will continue.
best caught era helped people prepare seen talk wake
Obviously, he didn't have a knuckleball like Wake has. This is the best that we've seen in this era and it's one of those things that you really can't prepare for. You try to talk to as many people who have caught him and see if they've done anything that has helped them.
beat both dictated great job walked
Mo did a great job with both Manny and Ortiz. He made his pitches, and if they were going to beat him, they were going to beat him on his pitches. He walked both of them, but he kind of dictated the at-bats.
few gotten
It was a look that I've gotten a few times. And it doesn't make you feel comfortable.
borderline either pitch questioned
It was a borderline pitch. I thought it could go either way. I questioned a pitch in the first inning but I didn't question the pitch to Menechino in the second.
bat broken early swing
Early in the game, one swing of the bat could have broken it open, and we'd probably have a different outcome. It didn't happen.
fine leg letting reached talk
After he reached for his leg I went out to talk to him during that inning. He said the leg was fine but that he was letting it all out that inning.
anywhere blame far randy says threw took umpires
In the first inning, they were going back and forth. Fieldin told him it was enough and Randy says a lot to umpires about strikes. You can place the blame anywhere you want. Randy took it too far or Fieldin threw him out too quickly.
harder seems stuff tries trying turn wants worse
He's trying to do too much right now. He wants to turn this thing around. It seems like the harder he tries the worse his stuff becomes.
