belt best fastball felt knows looking missed pitch surprised
It was pretty much a fastball down the middle. I felt bad. I was looking for a pitch a little lower. I was looking for something down and he actually got it belt high. I was pretty surprised I missed it, but it wasn't the best of swings. Fortunately, now, I missed it, because if I had put it into play, who knows what would've happened.

Everyone, when they talk about our team they talk about your offense. Our pitchers are capable of going out there and throwing good games.

That's pretty amazing. They weren't on the top of their game, but they made the pitches when it counted.
boston loves pitching red sending thoughts winning
If we're just going out there just to get him work, that's not the Boston Red Sox way, ... We're sending him out there with thoughts of winning that game. He loves pitching here.
looking outside perfect pitches plate threw tough
More times than not, he's going to come through. He threw some tough pitches on the outside of the plate to get him looking out there, then he threw a perfect pitch in. Shields was an All-Star for a reason.
pitching stays team
They're a team that's going to be very scary. If their pitching stays healthy, they're going to be very, very good.
bats definitely good guess help needed pitching staff swing
It's definitely very disappointing. I guess we just needed to swing the bats a little better and help out our pitching staff tonight. We had some good swings, and unfortunately we just couldn't do much more.
bad center cut knows maybe pitching position solid work
As long as he can cut down the angles, maybe work it so where he has some shorter throws, he'll be fine. He knows the pitching staff, so he knows how to position himself. I don't think he's going to give center fielders a bad name. He's a solid player.
definitely pitches throwing time
I definitely think he's getting better. He's throwing 95 at times and throwing more pitches every outing. By the time the postseason comes, he should be our No. 1 again.
feels pitch series situation
Every day, every night, every pitch -- everything is the most important situation that could come up. It kind of feels like the World Series a little bit. It's going to be amazing.

These pitchers that have to face our team, they don't have any breathing room. It's a very exciting team.
groove minor seem starting team
I was starting to feel the groove again, and then I had this minor setback, ... But I'm not going to feel dissuaded by my performance. As long as the team wins, that's OK. Unfortunately, they seem to coincide.

It's the world bragging rights. And I'm proud to represent Team USA.

There's no panic in here. We know we have a special team.
