ball both early few hopefully keeping maybe months nice offense past picked picking pitching rolling stretch thrown
Early on it was more maybe me keeping us real close. There was a stretch there where I wasn't pitching that well and the offense picked me up every time. Now it's just kind of both clicking. I've thrown the ball better the past few times and the offense is still rolling and picking me up. It's a nice combination and hopefully there's two more months of it.
balls cost decent eliminate fell few half left middle mistake runs threw
It was one of those innings. I threw a few decent pitches, and some balls fell in there. I made a big mistake that cost me. I have to eliminate those mistakes. Half of my runs have been on fastballs I left over the middle of the plate.
balls breaking change command couple fastball few good threw throw tried walked work
I threw some pretty good breaking balls, a lot of curveballs. I tried to throw a few more change ups. I was able to work on that a little bit. My curveball was real good. My fastball command was not as good as it usually is. I walked a couple of guys.
anyone bad few good progress rack wants
A few of those bad outings rack up, anyone would get worried. Everyone wants good results. I'm working on things, you can always say that, but I feel like I made some progress (today).
exciting few guys hits milton offense year
I think this year our offense is even better with Milton and Frank. I mean, look at the hits those guys got tonight. They already have a few big hits for us. That's exciting to see them in the lineup.
came easier games left
It would have been a devastating loss. Now there's 20 games left and every one is important. Fortunately, we came back, and that will make it a little easier to forget.
chances loss mad pitch
We had some chances today, but when it comes down to it, it's the pitch I made to Ramirez. I just look back at it and I'm mad at myself. I let that pitch get away from me. The loss is because of me.
excited fitting step top waiting watch
Everyone was so excited to watch him hit. Everyone was on the top step (of the dugout) every at-bat like we were waiting for something to happen. It's just fitting something did. It was awesome.
death game life time
Every game is a must-win. This time of year, it's life or death right now.
bad frustrated thinking threw
That was the only cutter I threw all game. It was a bad pitch, it floated up there, so I was frustrated with myself. If I'd got through that inning (without a hit) I would have started thinking about it.
both coming fans frank hits
That was just really exciting. You always want to show the fans something when you come to a new team. Just in this series, he and Frank (Thomas) both got some big hits for us. It's coming together.
hits last milton nice offense
I think our offense is even better than last year. Milton and Frank, I mean, look at the hits they had tonight. It's nice to see them in the lineup.
bench guys nice problem
With all the guys on the bench, we feel comfortable having them in the game. There's always someone on the bench who should be playing. That's a nice problem to have.
almost arms coming command eight five forget fresh gets innings pitchers spring
You know, in spring training, you go two, three, four, five innings and you almost forget what it's like to go seven, eight innings. Some pitchers in April, their arms feel great. They are fresh coming out of spring training. Me, I feel like my command gets a lot better after April.
