Any time you can go deep into a game, especially when you're playing so many games in a row, it helps those guys out in the bullpen, ... Being that it's September, there are a lot of people who need the extra day's rest.
air ball changed control damage game key
The key was the Gregg Zaun at bat. He was able to get a ball up in the air that carried. That really changed the game for me. It was damage control after that.

Yeah, it's definitely not as loud. But I expected that.

It doesn't matter now how many wins somebody had in the second half or how somebody was at a certain point in the season, ... All that matters now is your next start.

Johnny has a lot of stuff going on the side, but it never affected the way he played on the field.

I felt good. I was attacking the hitter. It's nice to have good results and keep this team in the game.
coach expect pitching problem
I don't expect it to be a problem or anything that's an issue. I think (Nipper) kind of comes out of Wally's mold, in a way. To me, a pitching coach is more of a psychologist than a pitching coach.
history hopefully resilient team
This team is pretty resilient, ... Their history is being pretty resilient and hopefully that will be the case.
