chance good hopefully randy
With Randy on the mound, we feel we have a good chance to win. Hopefully we will play better defense.
curtain randy
I thought Randy went back out there for a curtain call.
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.
anywhere blame far randy says threw took umpires
In the first inning, they were going back and forth. Fieldin told him it was enough and Randy says a lot to umpires about strikes. You can place the blame anywhere you want. Randy took it too far or Fieldin threw him out too quickly.
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.
blame good knowing maybe quickly randy stepped surprised threw truth umpire
You can place blame any where you want to. You can maybe say that Randy went a little too far. There's probably some truth to that, but I was surprised that Fieldin threw him out as quickly as he did knowing the kind of umpire that he is. He's a very good umpire. I don't know if Randy stepped over the line. I didn't necessarily think he did.
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.
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.
