Every mistake that I make, we're paying for, ... It's a corner you try not to back yourself into, because you tend to pitch tentative, and I can't do that. I left two balls up in the zone, splits. One was the double off the wall. Another was up.

ball command facing good hit hitters hurting kicked last people plate proactive throw tired trying year
Getting kicked around as much as I did, you get tired of it. I'm not trying to hit people. But at the same time, hitters were very comfortable facing me last year, much more so last year than any year in the past, obviously. But there's something you can do about that as a pitcher, and you've got to be proactive in doing it. I feel like my command is good enough that I can throw the ball in off the plate and get people off the plate without hurting people.

It's very simple for him right now from a thought-process standpoint. That job is a challenge. He's throwing strikes. He's commanding the ball and he's got dominating stuff. When you can command and have dominating stuff, you can do the things he's doing.
ball certainly expense figure search stuff tonight win
It's a loss. I can't search for things and try to figure things out at the expense of this ball club. Not now. Not in August. Not with a 2 1/2-game lead. Tonight was a night when I certainly had the stuff to win and just did not execute.

I did everything I could to win every time I was handed the ball.
anybody ball bottom couple everybody field game hit knows line pitch supposed threw trying
The bottom line is that the ball should not have hit him. You've got to be able to get out of the way of that pitch. I threw a ball in and jammed him the pitch before. I threw in a couple of times during his first at-bat. That's just the way it goes. I'm not trying to hit anybody in the head. Everybody I have been on the field with knows I play the game the way it's supposed to be played.

Knowing that Joe has pitched as well as he has, it had nothing to do with him facing us the first time. He's been throwing the ball great. It felt like it was going to be a tight game, and then I gave up two runs in about two minutes, before anybody's even sitting in their seats. ... I couldn't afford to make a mistake after that.
