pitchers
There's a lot of pitchers who've got it. That's an out pitch for them. It's a big pitch.
hard people released somewhere time traded understand
Izzy told me the first time you're traded or released and go somewhere else is the hardest. After that, it's no problem. I can now understand why people say that. It wasn't hard making an adjustment. It was just different.
left pitches
I just left a lot of pitches up as the day went along. Just one of them days.
everybody gets knock looks lying minute second
Everybody would be lying if for one minute - one second - you didn't think, 'All right, it looks like we're going home,' ... But all of a sudden, (David) Eckstein gets a knock ...
last obviously pitching says seems sudden together
To me, it seems like the same lineup as last year. But they're obviously pitching a lot better. When you put together some pitching and all of a sudden get a little more confidence, I think it says a lot for a team.
team player decision
If the player has the confidence and ability, then he should sign with the pro team. Academics certainly play a large part in the decision, but if someone feels they are ready to sign, they should.
trying asking approach
I'm going to approach it as trying to do my best, but you can't do everything yourself. That's asking for bad things to happen.
pitching about-yourself inconsistent
When you have an inconsistent season, you learn a lot about yourself and your pitching.
team winning games
If you keep your team in the game and give them a chance to win each and every start, what could be better than that? That, to me, is my main goal.
natural
When I was younger, things came so easily to me. It was just natural.
body arms ready
My body and my arm will tell me when they're ready.
beat best good handle pitches quick throwing
When I'm throwing a good sinker, I get a lot of quick outs. If I get beat, I want to get beat on my best pitches and that's what happened. I can handle that.
bunch came diego division early finished game maybe messing runs san team teams
With this team we just got up 2-0 (against San Diego in the NL Division Series) and just finished it. No messing around, we came out and scored a bunch of runs early in the first game and got us a lead. Maybe it's just different teams and experience.
difference knows team veteran younger
We have a veteran team, ... That's a difference for me. I've been on a younger team that doesn't always know what's going on. This is a team that always knows what they're doing, how to prepare.
