ball flash formula guys hopefully order pitcher six starting strike success throw trust
Our formula for success is having the starting pitcher get the ball to Flash and Mo. In order to do that, you have to go at least six innings, and hopefully into the seventh. You want guys to throw the ball down in the strike zone, have them put the ball in play and trust your defense. It's challenging.
became falling mike mindless saw slider thinking velocity
As Mike Mussina says, it became mindless for him. He wasn't thinking about his mechanics. Everything was just falling into place. I think that's why we saw the emotion, the intimidation. The velocity is up. His slider is nasty.
against four game games johnson maybe randy stepped
This is the day Randy Johnson stepped up to the plate. You can say maybe this is the game we got him for, whatever. A game of this magnitude, against that team, being four games down - he stepped up today.
fine leg letting reached talk
After he reached for his leg I went out to talk to him during that inning. He said the leg was fine but that he was letting it all out that inning.
calm forth legitimate quickly randy saying second
I was disappointed that Fieldin reacted as quickly as he did, but he has a legitimate gripe. Randy was saying some things in the first inning and by the second inning Cubby had enough. In the first inning they went back and forth and Fieldin told him, to his credit, that he's had enough and to calm it down.
curtain randy
I thought Randy went back out there for a curtain call.

I think it's a tremendous service, particularly the online access to minutes. I think it's a tremendous increase in the public access to state agencies.

I think some of that's changed because of the reporting.
computers ethic generation great information knowing school time uses video work
He's a very detail-oriented guy. For this job, he's got a great combination of old-school work ethic - knowing how to put the time in - and the new generation that uses computers and video to get as much information as possible.
pitching tomorrow top
He's been pitching better, but tomorrow is going to be a big one. You don't want to say 'must win,' but we need this one tomorrow. Hopefully, he'll come out on top of his game.
good great stuff
He had great stuff but not great location. But his stuff was good enough to overpower that lineup.
game mentioned ready talking
He was ready to go before this game even started. I was talking to him about the lineup. He mentioned he was going to be into this game and ready for it.
game nobody prepared
There is nobody who is more prepared or more intelligent about the game of baseball,
against control experience question starts throws whether
When he throws strikes, he's tough; we know that from our experience with him. It's never been a question about his stuff, it's been whether he can control it in the zone. He did that in two starts against us, unfortunately.
