hitters less noticed offense pitching pressure shown staff throwing time
I've noticed we've been going after hitters a lot more this year, and throwing more strikes, and it's shown in our success. It's been nice. Any time the pitching staff is doing that better and more consistently, there's a lot less pressure on the offense going in.

One thing that I've realized is that you're never going to be 100 percent successful. You're always going to be let down.

Every time you think the world's going to end because you had a couple of bad games, God's there to remind you that's not what it's all about.
