affect best chasing diving error good grind hitter might next others vote
They don't go through the grind others do defensively, diving after balls, chasing balls, if you make an error how it might affect you next at bat. If you're a DH you don't go through any of that. You just hit. So as good a hitter as he is, and he's one of the best in the game, no question, I can never vote for him. That's all.
affect balls chasing diving good grind guys hitter might vote
They don't go through the grind other guys go through defensively, diving after balls, chasing balls. If you make an error, it might affect you but if you're a DH, you don't go through any of that. You just hit. As good a hitter as he is, and he's one of the best, no question, I could never vote for a guy who doesn't do play defense.
good hitting home
The two home runs, those aren't very good hitters. Nothing for nothing, but they're hitting .240 for a reason.
good happened hitting home mistakes perfect
Those just happened to be perfect mistakes for those hitters. Those two home runs, they aren't very good hitters. Nothing for nothing, but they are hitting .240 for a reason.
ball definitely elevate hit leaving second turned
After the second inning, I think I turned it around. I think I was rushing, I was definitely leaving the ball up a little bit. . . . You elevate the ball and they're going to hit it.
good hitting home league major runs
The two home runs -- those aren't good hitters. Nothing for nothing, but they're hitting .240 for a reason. But they're like any other Major League hitter. You make a mistake, they're going to hit it hard.
looked prove trying
I think just being who I am and the way I have always looked at things and the way I got to the big leagues, always trying to prove myself ... now it's a part of me and the only way I know how to go about my business.
fastball throw
I thought I located my fastball pretty well. I made some mistakes, but for the most part I think I did pretty well. If I can throw like I did today, then why can't I do it in a week? We'll find out down the stretch.
credit definitely strikes threw work zone
I think I threw more strikes than I got credit for. I was around the zone a lot. I definitely got my work in.
era innings late pitcher territory
When a pitcher has an ERA under 4.00 in this league, that's really good, ... To be this late (with his ERA) and to have 180-plus innings and an ERA under 4.00, that's all new territory for me.
closer good position
We were in a good position going into the ninth, and then we had our closer out there.
fourth gave good pitches run settled
We made some good pitches in the first, just not good enough. They scored another run in the fourth that was the game-winner. So as much as we settled down, we still gave it back up to them.
ball belt control except felt last
I felt I had better control except for the last inning when everything went belt high. I think I located the ball a little better than the last time.
control guess learned lesson
I guess I haven't learned my lesson yet, that I can't control it.
