gave time tough win winning
If we don't win that game, we have a tough time winning any game. We had a lot of chances. They gave us a lot of opportunities. We just couldn't get any thing done with the opportunities we had.
biggest facing five guy mainly pitching runs tough
We just weren't able to do anything mainly because he was pitching so well. The biggest part of the day was the five runs early. When you're facing a guy like that, it's a tough situation.
location tough
It wasn't one of his better starts. The location wasn't as good, but (the Yankees) have a tough lineup.
everywhere faced game games guys handled newspapers played proud team themselves toughest tv worst
This game was so crazy. It's probably one of the worst games we played in the whole streak. I told the guys after the game that they handled one of the toughest times ever in baseball. A young team faced TV and newspapers and everywhere they read they were scrutinized. I'm proud of them. It was tough, but the guys handled themselves with class.
arm dropped great individual keeps last position slot talked tough year
The thing I look at most is the individual pitchers. And I thought Bautista's arm slot was in a great position. It's something we've talked about earlier. Last year his arm slot dropped a little bit, but his arm is in great position right now, and if he keeps it that way, it's going to be tough to keep him out of the rotation.
command good matter needed sure time tough
Health-wise, the other day it was good, but his command was not close. It was not good as we needed it to be. We just want to make sure when he comes up here he is not going to get hammered. It doesn't matter how good you throw, if you don't have your location, you're going to have a tough time getting through an inning in this league.
figure fix
We've just got to try to fix it, man. We just have to figure this out.
forget good
We've just got to forget about that and play as good as we can, as long as we can.
everybody hope pitches rotation turn upside
This rotation could turn upside down at some point. I just hope everybody pitches well.
chance might next start
There is a chance that he might make his next start up here, but we don't know that yet.
although figure next pitch trying wants
We're trying to figure out what we're going to do next with Bautista. I still don't think he's going to pitch for us this year, although he wants to.
preparing quite ready time worst
We're going about it, quite frankly, that Zack is not going to be here in time to get ready for the rotation. We pretty much are preparing for the worst right now. That could change. I don't think it will.
four starts
We want to get him four starts before the end of the year.
early honest pitching
To be honest with you, the way Westbrook was pitching and the at-bats we were getting early on, I thought we had no chance.
