ball ground keeping last threw
If anything, he threw too many fastballs. He's a ground ball guy. He's still keeping the ball down better than he did last year.
ball problems threw
Lowry threw the ball well in the first inning. But then had problems in the second.
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.
forgot games losing threw win
Tomko threw well. It's just that we forgot how to win games at home. If it's 3-2, we're always on the losing side.
healthier legs needed seemed threw work
He seemed to be healthier today, his legs and everything. He said he needed work and threw 52 pitches.
ball breaking confident fastball matt threw
He was very sharp. He threw the ball hard, the same old Matt Cain. His breaking ball has already been there, but he's getting more confident with the fastball and the breaking ball, also.
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.
