good pitch seen
I've seen him pitch better, but he's always got good stuff. Even when he's off, he's got good stuff.
best certainly league pitchers record
When you have a record like that, it's got to be some luck. But he's also one of the best pitchers in the league and certainly that's a big part of it.
against anyone best chance involved luck particular pitchers record roy undefeated
When you have a record like that against a particular team, there has to be some luck involved as well. Roy is one of the best pitchers in the league. If anyone would have a chance to go undefeated against a particular team, it would be him.
backbone knew mark offense pitching question staff weeks
We knew our pitching staff was the backbone of the team. The question mark is our hitting. It isn't over yet. We've still got two weeks to go, and the offense has to come around. We're day to day with our offense.

Both pitching staffs, for the most part, did a nice job. And Brunt came up with the big hit to top it all off.

It's a combination of things. When you have a record like that, it's got to be some luck. But he's also one of the best pitchers in the league and certainly that's a big part of it.
andy block execute focus fortitude hitter mental pitch task
He's got the mental fortitude to block everything out and just focus on the hitter, focus on the task and then execute the pitch to get that hitter out. Andy would be my guy.

He's certainly one of the best pitchers in the game,
fastball kept mistakes moved pitchers pitches
He did what pitchers do when they're successful. He moved the fastball in and out, he kept his pitches down for the most part, and he got away with mistakes when they were up.
ability behind discomfort focus pain pitcher played
He is the strongest-minded pitcher I've ever played with. He has the ability to put pain and discomfort behind him and focus on nothing but the catcher's mitt. He's amazing.
ability ball double ground knows man pitch trouble
He has the ability to get out of trouble because he knows when to make a big pitch to get a ground ball for a double play or get that big strikeout with a man on third. That's why he's 20-4.
age compare longevity losing pitches season success tough
He's tough to compare to anyone, I think, because of not only his success but the longevity of his success. I mean, who pitches for 20-some years and has only one losing season and at the age of 43 has a sub-2.00 ERA?
call great majority night pitches sees
The ump sees what, 225, 250 pitches a night and get the great majority of them right. But it's not like his call scored any runs. They did that on their own.
andy best came certainly foul hitters pirates single whether
Andy didn't have his best stuff. Certainly the Pirates hitters battled with every single pitch. Whether it was to foul it off or take a ball, nothing came easy.
