breaking sharper stuff velocity
He had more velocity on his fastball, his changeup was slower, and he had sharper breaking stuff. He had better stuff than he did in May.
april early few hope last learned letting maybe next seven slip spring start stuff team year
In the last seven weeks, the team learned how to be winners. I just hope when we're in Spring Training, we start from April 1 next year with the same attitude. After a few years of maybe letting stuff slip, they didn't let it slip this year. I think they learned you can't say it's early in April anymore.
believe days good last several stuff takes team
The last several days we showed the stuff that it takes to win. We're as good as any team still in it. I really believe that.
break win
I think we have to win that series. And that?s it. We need to win (tonight). We have to win innings. You can break it down to that.
backed bobby charged five hit message nailed send team whether
I think that charged the club. Whether he hit Bobby to send a message or not, I think the team backed up Bobby. We scored five unanswered runs, and that nailed the coffin.
dire four lose maybe says tomorrow until win
When you're in the noose, maybe that's dire straits. We come out tomorrow and we play. Who says we can't win four in a row? Who says they can't lose four out of five? Until you're mathematically out, you go out there and play ball.
room seen seriously stayed strength took training weight year
I think he really took his conditioning and strength training seriously this year and stayed with it. I've seen him more in the weight room this year than ever.
against guys half jon pitches second seems
Jon has really done his part in the second half of the season. Unfortunately it seems like the guys he pitches against are just as tough.
proven
I think Ryan's proven everything he can prove.
final race talking week
We're going to be talking about this race the final week of the season.
colorado game hot july last numbers
He's been hot for the last 12 or 13 starts. You take away the Colorado game (on July 31). If you put those numbers up, it's been pretty awesome.
ace bottom
He's doing what an ace should do. He's our ace, that's the bottom line.
none
If we don't win, none of it matters.
benefits driving jimmy program reaping room season seen took weight
He really took his strength-and-conditioning program seriously, and he's reaping the benefits and driving the ball. I've seen Jimmy in the weight room during the season more than I've ever seen him in the past.
