access increase online public service state tremendous
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.
call miss pitch prepare throws
With every pitcher, if you call a pitch you know where he's going to miss if it's not right so you prepare for it. With Wake, I don't think you have that luxury. If he throws a knuckleball, you just don't know where it's going to go.
ball looking running saw seen straight year
We saw a lot more strikeouts looking inside, which we haven't seen all year from Randy. He was able to keep that ball in there, keep it straight in there where it's not running back over the plate.
chance good hopefully randy
With Randy on the mound, we feel we have a good chance to win. Hopefully we will play better defense.
anybody harder sharper throws
With Randy, it's pretty straightforward. What he throws is just harder and sharper than anybody else.
ball extra foul good life steps swings taking
You'd think you were taking good swings off him, but his ball had a little extra life on it, and you'd foul it off. He steps up on the big stage, and he did it today.
afford time willing
Even those who would be willing to take the time to do it can't. They just can't afford it.
pitching quality seems time
We're pitching well right now. Every time we go out there, it seems like we're getting a quality start. Hopefully, that will continue.
asleep bit fell
We fell asleep a little bit defensively, and we couldn't recover.
familiar hard people rush time trying
If they have more than one hearing, it won't be that bad. But you get the sense they're trying to rush some of this, which makes it hard for people to take time to read and get familiar with this and come down to Dover.
beat both dictated great job walked
Mo did a great job with both Manny and Ortiz. He made his pitches, and if they were going to beat him, they were going to beat him on his pitches. He walked both of them, but he kind of dictated the at-bats.
best caught era helped people prepare seen talk wake
Obviously, he didn't have a knuckleball like Wake has. This is the best that we've seen in this era and it's one of those things that you really can't prepare for. You try to talk to as many people who have caught him and see if they've done anything that has helped them.
benefit expect feels good gratifying hard hopefully run work
I think he feels good about what he did. When you put in the hard work and see the benefit and the rewards, it's gratifying for him. Hopefully he'll get on that run that we expect him to get on.
curtain randy
I thought Randy went back out there for a curtain call.
