depends hope innings nine throws
It all depends on how El Duque throws. I hope he throws nine innings of shutout today. If something happens, we have to be prepared.
arm attack best confidence game guys kid matter strikes throw time win won
Jose had always had the best arm on my team. It's a matter of time when he can use that. It's a matter of confidence. This kid won a big game for us and he showed the guys when you have confidence and throw strikes and attack the strike zone, you can win a lot of games.
base chance good joey lead secondary sent third throw took
We thought he had a good secondary lead so Joey (Cora, third base coach) took a chance and sent him. It took a good throw like that to get him.
best games people seen throw year
He showed people today. I think it's one of the best games he's pitched, the best I've seen him throw all year long.
balls gets people problem starts throwing walking walks
His problem is when he walks people. When he starts walking people and throwing balls all over the place, he gets in trouble.
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.
goes innings quick reminds throws
He reminds me of Greg Maddux. He goes out, throws 200-plus innings and throws as quick as he can.
skip throws
El Duque will skip one start. We'll see how he throws before we make a decision.
arm attack best confidence everybody game guys kid matter months pitching strikes throw time town win won
Two months ago everybody wanted to kill this kid and get him out of town because he was pitching horrible. Jose had always had the best arm on my team. It's a matter of time when he can use that. It's a matter of confidence. This kid won a big game for us and he showed the guys when you have confidence and throw strikes and attack the strike zone, you can win a lot of games.
alex chance gives good throwing
Everyone was concerned, because I was only throwing 85, but it was good today. It gives me a chance to keep Alex sharp.
throwing
To me he wasn't throwing good, ... So that's why I went to go get him right away.
couple job next quick supposed talk throw tremendous
Right now he does. All I want to see him do is throw strikes. He was supposed to go in for one inning and it was so quick he had another shot. And he did a tremendous job and right now, he's going to be the talk of the next couple of days.
ball throw
Duque didn't throw the ball the way we like him to throw the ball.
four game lose manager managing players playoff respect team thrown
I've only been thrown out four times in my career, not my managing career. If I get tossed from the game, I think I let the team down. If a manager is not there in a playoff game I think you lose the respect of your team. I need my players and my players need me.
