fifth game pitch pitcher pitches run starting theory throw
That was our big theory when I was with Oakland. Run up the guy's pitch counts, 'cause then you get the starting pitcher out of the game in the fifth inning. You're making him throw 100 pitches and he's gone.
couple exciting last missed months normally ready season start training trying
I feel great. I'm ready to go. Last year, before the season started, I missed a couple of months just trying to get healthy, so it's been exciting to start from Day 1 like I've normally done, training and working out.
few gets great huge looked season sharp starting turns typical
Typical Moose, he turns it on and gets sharp after a few hits. He looked great. We need him to be huge this season and this is a great starting point.
again monday rest start three turns
It turns into two and three because you rest Monday and start again on Tuesday. That's huge.
continue hard hard-work last nice start training work
When I got home, I wasn't sick, so I was able to continue all of the hard work I did last year. It was nice to be able to get back on that routine, start lifting, training and hitting, keep working on those things.
ask gave great matched pitching start zero
He was unbelievable. He gave us the start we needed. (John) Lackey was pitching great and Shawn matched him zero for zero. For his first postseason start, you can't ask for more.
ask gave great matched pitching start zero
He was unbelievable, ... He gave us the start we needed. (John) Lackey was pitching great and Shawn matched him zero for zero. For his first postseason start, you can't ask for more.
enjoying guy minute single tough
We just wanted to get in. It's been such a long, tough year. I know everyone in here is enjoying every single minute of this. Especially for a guy like me, and where I started. It's unbelievable.
ability bit changed last lift
We changed it up a little bit (from last year) because my ability to lift was already there. I had that base. We started squatting right away, lunging.
doubt games good offense win
We're going to win some games with our offense, no doubt about it. Our offense is too good not to win.
helped shot
The shot has helped me a lot, ... I had tendinitis.
game great heart kid people players prove realize seen special takes triple whatever
People don't realize this game is not fair. I've seen some great players who, for whatever reason, never got the opportunity. To keep going back to Triple A, when you know in your heart you have nothing to prove there, it takes a special kid to do that.
gotta
We had our shots. You gotta come up with that big hit. And we haven't come up with it yet.
responsibility
I've learned that you have to take responsibility for yourself in this game and lead yourself through it.
