although bothering leg seen strike
It was rare, ... We've not seen that from him really all year. He couldn't find (the strike zone), and I think the leg had something to do with it, although he said it really wasn't bothering him. He never did get comfortable from what I could see.
bothering gone hip offense stone
I think his hip was bothering him a little. It's very uncharacteristic of him to have that kind of inning. But I don't think that's the story. Our offense has just gone stone cold.
ball blown both brad couple gets given lead location though throwing wants
Both will get on track. Even though Brad has given up the lead and blown a couple of saves, I think he's throwing the ball pretty well. When he gets his location where he wants it to be, he's going to be fine.
bother
He doesn't let anything bother him, doesn't let anything get to him, ... He pitches. That's what he does.
although best both control downhill game gets great heat high hope looks people pitch seen sides
I feel that we have not seen his best game, although I can see why people are very high on him. He has a great downhill tilt, he looks like when he gets his game together, he can control both sides of the plate. He's down in the zone. I would hope he would go down there and pitch right from the get-go and put a little heat on us up here.
pick scientific
Pick 'em out of a hat. We just need somebody. Nothing scientific in the formula.
stuck top
No, ... He snow-coned it. Stuck to the top of his glove.
balls complete guy pitches throws
The guy throws 95 pitches and pitches a complete ballgame, so we didn't put too many balls in play.
remembered series win
If you can get into the World Series and win the World Series in Houston, you can be remembered forever.
electric people wound
I just think it would be electric for the city. People are just so wound up.
fortunate works
He's puffed up pretty good. I think he'll be able to play on Friday. We're fortunate to have the off-day tomorrow. That works well.
coming games good job ours runs somehow time trait typical
It's just something that's been a trait of ours all year, but we managed to win. It's like some of our typical games and somehow we managed to get through it. We didn't eke one out this time and that's unfortunate because we had been doing a pretty good job of coming up with runs somehow.
factor
I think it was a factor for Andy. It started to swell up, ... Unbelievable.
hitting job ticked
I'm ticked off because we're not hitting well. We're just not getting the job done.
