again believe close good happens including people pitching played players serious teams
When the good teams played they were very close games. Pitching dominated. When that happens anyone, including the U.S., can get beat. I believe that if it happens again with this kind of tournament, some of the people including the players who didn't believe it was serious will have to believe now that it is serious.
acquired capable control pitching team walk
We have no control on what's going to happen. He could be acquired by another team or he could just walk away from us. That would be a setback for us, because we know he is capable of pitching well, and he could end up doing it for someone else.
bullpen children kirk opening picture pitching second starting three throw
Our starting pitching wasn't what we thought. (Jason) Schmidt started opening day. Kirk Rueter was the second day. Then (Brett) Tomko, then Lowry. Then the whole picture changed. Rueter's not even here now. Tomko is in the bullpen twice. Lowry is our No. 2, and we don't have a No. 3. We have three children we could throw in any order.
maybe pitching three
He's pitching as well as he did three years ago, maybe better.
glad pitching shot
I'm glad for Tyler. He's in the big leagues. He's getting a shot at pitching more innings.
believe gets glad innings leagues needed pitching shot situation
I'm glad for Tyler. He's in the big leagues and he gets a shot at pitching more innings than he did with us. I believe he needed to pitch more, and that would not have been the situation here.
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.
found fun low
The writers, ... used to make fun of us. I found it to be ? ridiculous. I found it to be low class. I found it to be prejudiced. I found it to be ignorant.
