locked seems
Miguel seems to be right where he always is -- locked in.
biggest changed level seemed work
I don't think his at-bats have changed a lot. Sometimes, you just don't get hits. The biggest thing is you keep your frustration level down, and he has seemed to work through that.
bend figured innings learn seem
It's always one or two innings that seem to get us. You have to learn to bend a little but not break, and we haven't figured out how to do that yet.
seemed top
It's kind of mind-boggling to us because he seemed to be on top of his game. I know he's much better than that.
game last locks seemed seen starts top twice
It's kind of mind-boggling because he seemed to be on top of his game tonight. He's done it twice in his last two starts and the organization has never seen him do that. He usually locks in and focuses more.
great ride seems
It's been a great ride for me, ... and it just seems to get better and better.
ball bit breaking easy pitcher point score seemed
It seemed like the left-handed breaking ball was a little bit more of a strikeout pitcher than the right-handed breaking ball. The point I made is that it's not easy to score runs.
couple nobody rally runners seem together
We didn't seem to really put a rally together with a couple of runners on and nobody out.
costs mistake rolling seems supposed
This isn't supposed to happen. You're up 5-1 and we're rolling along. It's frustrating. It seems like any mistake we make costs us.
guy seems
J.J. seems to be the guy that when he pitches, we win. He's always down in the zone.
coming concerned happy knee played seemed stronger
He's been outstanding and he's played very well. We were a little concerned about his knee coming into camp, but that's seemed to get stronger and we're happy with the way he's played.
dominant hard people pitch seem trend
Closers seem to be all over the place now. For a while the trend was to go with hard throwers, but if you have that one pitch that's a dominant pitch that can get people out, it's usually where you see the closers come from.
demeanor fighting fights-and-fighting good guys mound seems
He's one of those guys fighting for one of those spots. His demeanor on the mound is very good. He never seems to be out of control. Sometimes that is good for young players.
kept
Too many 2-0 counts. But he kept us in the game.
