giving good guy performer start steady
He's been a good guy and steady performer all year, just giving us one good start after another.
easy
He didn't have his command, that was pretty much the difference. It's not an easy role.
ball four moves pitches plate throw
He moves the ball around the plate a lot and he's very deceptive. He's got four pitches he can throw any place in the count.
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.
bullpen guys proven worried
I'm not worried about our bullpen at all. Those guys down there are proven and they'll be fine.
against bats game great heck mike runs swing three today
If you only give up three runs in a game against the Yankees, I'll take my chances. We didn't swing the bats great today but I think that had more to do with Mike than with anything else. He pitched a heck of a game.
came fatigue good tried wheels
He started off pretty good and then the wheels just came off. I don't know. It may have been fatigue -- I don't know. We tried pretty much everything.
closer good high itself lends pitching remains stuff sure walk
I don't know, ... I don't know if he'll make a good closer. I would say he has the stuff to make a good closer, but does he have the command? I don't know. That remains to be seen. The guy's been pitching for 10-plus years professionally and he always has a high walk total. I'm not sure that lends itself to the closer role.
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.
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.
bats
You can't say our bats went cold. He made 'em that way.
