It was a little scary when he starting throwing punches, ... I was scared. I didn't want to get hit.
We hadn't seen him before, but he mixed it up pretty well. He was teasing the strike zone. He'd throw some borderline pitches up and then change it on us. We really couldn't get anything going.
Moose, don't tell me you're throwing all your pitches yet, are you?
You're going to win more games with pitching than you are with offense. Our pitching staff seems to have settled in pretty good. They're throwing the ball well.
You can throw everything everybody's done up to now out the window,
Adams runs pretty good. He didn't hit the ball particularly hard, he chopped it up the middle. You basically tag second and try to throw it as quick as you can. Give him credit, he hustled.
He was throwing strikes, that's the thing. You try to be patient, but if he's throwing strikes with it, you find yourself in the hole.
He has nasty stuff. He was throwing inside and made me go to right. I guess I was due.
He did a great job. He just kind of teased the strike zone, throwing borderline pitches and making you chase them. It shows you that if you have good pitching, it stops good hitting.
He never throws the ball straight, ... He just has nasty stuff, especially when he faces me.
Their bullpen is pretty good. Any guy they throw out there doesn't put you in an ideal situation as a hitter.
He throws a lot of strikes and he works quickly. So you can't get back on your heels behind him. That helps us out on defense.
The Rocket is close to his family. He really enjoys spending a lot of time with his kids. I think that's part of the reason why when he came back, he came back to Houston. He has the luxury of being at home.
I've never seen that before. Sometimes they say things happen in threes, hopefully that's the end of it.
