That shows you what Juan is capable of doing. We don't win that game without him being a hero, a star.

That's how he pitched early in the year. He just got in a funk. In the middle of that funk, he had a couple of games like this and we couldn't score for him. ... This is what he's capable of doing.

You've got to make a commitment to playing the game that way, ... That doesn't just happen. That's the way our guys play the game.

That's a very good lineup. He pitched deep into the game and pitched well, too.
afternoon beard cincinnati full game guy macho saw shaved supposed wife
For a guy who is supposed to be very tough, he's got a lot of cupcake in him. I saw him in an afternoon game in Cincinnati and he had his full beard on, but his wife didn't like it so he shaved it. He's macho with an asterisk.
absolutely ball behind dugout game hitter likely separate time walk walked worst yell
I don't necessarily think you can separate the two. When you come into a game with a big lead, absolutely the worst thing you can do is to walk guys. That's the only time I'd yell from the dugout - whey they walked somebody. So when you get behind a hitter in that situation, it's more likely a ball catches too much plate.

affected against ball concentration fell game great guy incident looks night pitch screws soon talked
My whole concentration on the game is affected by a pitch that got away. You know, that looks so terrible. The guy is a great pro. I just talked to Julian in there for a long time. Nothing against him, as soon as he fell out of his delivery...the ball has to get down. He's a sinker ball pitcher. That incident screws up the whole night for me.
beautiful game hardly pieces remind
There's a lot of pieces that remind you of the old Busch, especially in a 3 o'clock game when it's about 5 and you can't hardly see. It think it's a beautiful ballpark.
believes bothers classic game says separate wants
He's searching. He wants to hit. He believes he can hit. It bothers him when he doesn't hit. But he can separate the game in a classic way, and that says a lot about him.
days game missing tried
He just had no feel. Everything he tried to do, he was missing his target. It was one of those days that he just didn't have a feel for the game of pitching.
five games good seven shot sounds
I know it sounds like bull, but I don't care. If you get in, you've got as good a shot as anybody, five games or seven games. It's that kind of a tournament.
