Got bases loaded, Dmitri Young hit a fastball that made it 6-4. Everything was pretty much downhill from there, man. They hit some good pitches, I threw some bad pitches. Bad game overall. Period.
ball chance earlier four gave hang hit home locked mistake pitching score starting stay tried
I gave up four runs, but it was on two home runs, two mistake pitches. Really, other than that, they didn?t hit the ball that hard. I just tried to stay focused. It?s been like that for us for a while. The starting pitching hasn?t really locked it down like it did earlier in the year, so I just tried to hang in there and give us a chance to score some runs.

The starting pitching hasn't locked it down like it did earlier in the year, so I just tried to hang in there.

I signed at a pretty good discount. They felt going year-to-year would be more beneficial for me financially. ... They felt like I was leaving close to $4 million on the table. But I could be in a car wreck tomorrow. So, at this point in my career, it's obviously benefiting me with a little bit of security.

best business chess close definitely gm matter personally pieces player players playing
We're definitely close, probably as close as you get to a GM as a player but it's a business. It doesn't matter how you feel personally about somebody. You've got to make the best move. It's like playing a chess match. You're just pieces on a freaking board, that's what players are in this business. It doesn't matter how much they like you.
