ball ended good half life looking missing outer pitches result throw time
(Batista) was missing with his cutter to the outer half (of the plate) and I thought that it was a good time to throw a fastball. He has so many good pitches and his ball has such life that we ended up getting the result we were looking for.
bats great guy hat heck mike run swing tip
We didn't swing the bats well today, but I think that had more to do with Mike than anything else. He pitched a heck of a game. Sometimes you run into a guy like that, that has a great day and you tip your hat to him.
run serious tougher
It's a big blow. It makes it a little tougher to make a serious run at things.
ball based calls close everybody except field home looking park reaction seem strike
It's uncanny, isn't it. It does seem to be, especially in this ball park. Most of the close calls go to the home side. Based on his (Rodriguez) reaction to that pitch, and also I'm looking around on the field at the base runners, I think everybody in the ball park thought it was Strike 3 except the umpire.
felt ready reason roll running
There was no reason to roll the dice. I felt great, I've been running hard, I'm ready to go.
fact guys moments opens prevent realm
It opens a realm of possibilities, but it doesn't ever prevent the fact that those guys are superstars. They're going to come up big in big moments like they always do.
bases fast hit run
It makes it easy. You don't have to run as fast around the bases when you hit them out of the park.
clutch guys hold
They're all clutch performers. You're not going to hold guys like that down forever,
ahead calf contribute felt moment moving nice
It was really a nice moment for me to put us ahead and to contribute first day back. I haven't felt the calf in a week. I felt good. There weren't any inhibitions about moving around the bases.
good job learn
We're going to have to get better offensively. If we end up with the same lineup as we had this year, we're going to have to get better at what we do. We're going to learn how to manufacture runs, something I don't think we did a real good job of this year.
somebody
Being able to put somebody away with two strikes, that has just been the killer,
attitude command fastball
His fastball command was a lot better than it was the other day. He was just really aggressive. It's an attitude I'd like to see more of.
beat bury guys seem
If you want to beat those guys you have to bury them. They have one big-name guy after another and they always seem to come up with big hits.
base game home moment nice win
Home run, base hit, whatever. It's just nice to contribute. It was really a nice moment for me to put us ahead. More importantly, getting a win in a game like that was big for us.
