ball balls felt game hit hurt innings mccarthy plan plans ready six talked throw trying week
We talked about this all week and I felt like I let Duque down. I'm not trying to hurt my pitcher's feelings, but we had a plan before the game starts. Duque didn't throw the ball the way we like him to throw the ball. Most of the balls that got hit were hit hard. We thought he was going to give me four, five, six innings to get McCarthy ready to go. Our plans didn't work.

Today was the best day we've had since we started the playoffs, ... I think because we are where we want to be.
