ball runs score threw
Jarrod threw the ball very, very well. He was outstanding. We just couldn't score runs off the other guy.
great lacking runs slide
That was a great slide and we got two runs out of it. That is something we have been lacking all year.
late runs
We've got to keep those runs from scoring, especially late in the ballgame.
add everybody happened runs supposed
To add the runs on is huge. You really couldn't write it up better than it happened tonight. Everybody is doing what they're supposed to do in the lineup.
drive hits momentum runs
Two-out hits to drive in runs are huge. They are momentum killers to the other side.
runs score
He pitched an outstanding game. We just couldn't score enough runs for him to win.
angels good hit hurt lapse pitching played sixth team
I thought our pitching was pretty good today. The Angels have a good team but we pitched well, hit pretty well and defensively played well. That one lapse in the sixth inning hurt us, obviously.
arm best confident fact game percent seen stronger
I think we've seen him getting stronger and stronger and more confident in the fact his arm is 100 percent healthy. This game was probably the best of them all.
adjust command consistent element hoping jeff key location somewhere success
Jeff had a seven-pitch first and 35-pitch second, and we were hoping he'd adjust somewhere in the middle. But he couldn't. His location was off and his command, and command is the key element to success on a consistent basis.
along continue jamie last outing
Jamie was good. His outing today, to go along with what Hernandez did last night, it makes you feel pretty good. We just have to continue to do that.
good jamie threw
Jamie did a very good job. He threw well enough to win, but so did the other guy.
afraid catch hip
I said, 'I'm afraid he'll try to catch it in his hip pocket,'
aware certainly extent keeping pitfalls protect sharp steer trying
We don't protect him to the extent that we go around keeping him away from sharp objects. But we're certainly trying to be aware of the pitfalls that are there and we try to steer him away from those.
finally game pulling won
We finally won our first extra-inning game and our first one-run game. When these things end, the way they end is usually like pulling teeth.
