changed
I think some of that's changed because of the reporting.
dying period short surgery throw
If you didn't know he had surgery you wouldn't even have thought it. He had to throw probably 70 pitches, I would think. In that short period of time, it was incredible. I know I was dying back there, I don't know how he was doing.
double looking quite throw
It was looking like a tailor-made double play. The throw wasn't quite where we wanted it.
good home last playing
It's not a deterrent. There's nothing like playing here, like having the last at-bat. But we feel good about ourselves, home or on the road.
fun hand happened three
From the way he warmed up and what happened the first three innings, we thought it was going to be a fun day for us. It just got out of hand in the fourth.
against four game games johnson maybe randy stepped
This is the day Randy Johnson stepped up to the plate. You can say maybe this is the game we got him for, whatever. A game of this magnitude, against that team, being four games down - he stepped up today.
against control experience question starts throws whether
When he throws strikes, he's tough; we know that from our experience with him. It's never been a question about his stuff, it's been whether he can control it in the zone. He did that in two starts against us, unfortunately.
game mentioned ready talking
He was ready to go before this game even started. I was talking to him about the lineup. He mentioned he was going to be into this game and ready for it.
game nobody prepared
There is nobody who is more prepared or more intelligent about the game of baseball,
ask career field five instant manager minutes respect successful whatever winning
I don't think you could ask for a better young manager for a young team. And I think there's an instant respect there as well. The career he's had on the field and winning championships, he's a person if you're around him for about five minutes you know he's going to be successful in whatever he does.
good great stuff
He had great stuff but not great location. But his stuff was good enough to overpower that lineup.
