ballgame best happens knows plays runs seen
That was one of the best plays we've seen this season. That was the ballgame right there. It's two runs and who knows what happens after that.
bases best seen struck threw turned
With the bases loaded, he turned it up. He threw a curveball to Utley and struck him out that I think was the best curveball I've ever seen him throw.
arm best fast quick saw seen throwing
That's the best thing I saw from Schmidt. If your arm is not right, you're not going to be quick to the plate. That's as fast as I've ever seen him do it. And he pitched well, throwing only fastballs and change-ups.
best
The best part is winning. But if you lose, you know you've got 161 left. Sometimes that can be good, and sometimes that can be bad.
best gave seen year
He gave me the best at-bat that I have seen this year in his first at-bat. The 11-pitch at-bat right out of the hospital.
baseball best gave seen talking
He gave me the best at-bat that I have seen this year, ... I'm not just talking about our team. I'm talking about any team. Right out of hospital.
best gave seen talking year
He gave me the best at-bat I've seen this year in the first at-bat. I'm not talking about this team, I'm talking about any team.
field home left ready run
We just want to get him ready on defense. To see him play left field now was more important than the home run he hit.
days effect games playing pushing
We were pushing him to get off to a start. He was fresh. Now the effect of playing all those games showed up two days ago.
seen
I've seen it happen. You think you're going to get better, and you get worse.
looks physically pitch seems seen stronger throwing
I've seen him pitch a lot. He looks stronger physically from what I've seen and seems to be throwing harder. He's (looking) a lot better.
watching worse
It would've been worse if I was watching the game, but I didn't see any of it.
changed deal dealing easy man since
It was very hard, but it was easy because when you deal with a man like that, everything is easy. I've been dealing with him since he was 22. He hasn't changed as a person.
everybody last life likes love missing since velocity
It was very difficult. He just hasn't been the same pitcher. His velocity was down, and he had no life on his fastball. That has been missing since last year. Personally, I love him and the way he plays. Everybody likes him.
