balls felt location parts
He just never really got it going tonight. He felt good, he felt all right. At times he popped it at 93 and most parts he got it around 90. He had a lot of balls up (and) his location just wasn't very good.
balls bat found hit night smashing struggled
He just struggled all night long. They weren't smashing balls all over the place. They hit some balls off the end of the bat and they found some holes.
ball board five found hit runs
He just struggled. They didn't hit the ball hard, but they found holes. They put five runs on the board on him quick.
balls hitting
He's hitting a lot of balls on the nose.
ballpark classy clean played
I thought it was beautiful. It thought it played real nice. I think it's a real classy ballpark -- a clean ballpark.
balls concrete fields good ground night rain weather work
Boy, the infield is like concrete out there. Ground balls get by you in a hurry. We can use the good weather to get our work in but you'd like to see a little rain at night to soften up the fields a bit.
ball curve fourth hammered
Rickie got a curve ball up in the fourth and hammered it. That was a big part of the ballgame.
ball fastball good job keeping quick throws
He's done a good job keeping the ball in the zone. He has had short, quick innings. He throws that knuckleball, and then he throws an 83-mph fastball and jams good hitters. He's got some weapons.
action ball danny downhill good sinking
Danny has had good downhill action. His ball is sinking good. He's going to be fine.
ball bullpen found hard hit
The bullpen just struggled. They hit the ball hard and they found the holes.
ball bat catch field guys pitchers reason swing throw win
There's a reason why guys win 300 games. They can field their position, they can swing the bat and they can throw strikes. That's a big part of his game. There's not a lot of pitchers that catch that ball. That ball was smashed. That was a big play.
ball hit last opposite pierre
It nicked off his glove. With two strikes, we play in on Pierre on the opposite way anyway. About the last thing he will do is hit a ball the opposite way over an outfielder's head.
ball fast hoping innings sharp
It was just one of those days. He just wasn't sharp tonight. I was hoping he could go two innings but his fast ball was up and he wasn't locating his pitches.
ball game good plate reflect run score time tying
Any time you get the tying run to the plate (late) in a ball game you've done a pretty good job. But the score really doesn't reflect that.
