believe pitchers veteran
Believe it or not, you get some of those veteran pitchers and they can get in some jams and come up with a pitch here or there.
ahead good hitters pitchers
The good pitchers were ahead of the hitters today.
boston bring field keeping messing pitch pitches suppose threw throw track
I suppose we could bring him back and let him pitch in Boston (next week) but he only threw 32 pitches the other day (against Triple-A Syracuse) and I don't think he'll throw a whole lot more (Thursday). I like keeping him on track to pitch on the 16th (at U.S. Cellular Field in Chicago) without messing it up.
breathing couple last pitching room
Our pitching (staff), we haven't had a whole lot of breathing room out there. The last couple of weeks, every pitch is meaningful.
couple gets learn pitch settles sign takes trouble
I expect, once he settles in -- it may takes him a couple hitters, it may take him an inning or two -- once he gets over that, he should be fine. We're not going to yank him at the first sign of trouble because he's here and he's got to learn how to pitch in those situations.
ahead ball bring found game good groove hit kept missing pitch pitches throwing
He's got to pitch ahead to be effective. He was throwing some pitches and he wasn't missing by much if he was missing. When he had to bring it over the plate, they hit him. Then after that, he kind of found his groove and pitched a good ball game and kept us in it from there on.
pitch rather tight
Gus battled through it. I think he'd rather pitch in a tight game. He doesn't like the comfortable lead.
heck pitcher
He's going to be a heck of a pitcher some day,
looked pitching team time
We looked like a team tonight. It's the first time we have had our whole lineup out there and, yeah, the pitching was solid.
behind beyond good pitching threw
He was dynamite, he had it all. His fastball, he threw a good breaking-ball, then his change-up. He threw from behind in the count. He's pitching beyond his age, that's for sure.
becoming location pitchers
He's becoming one of the better pitchers in this league. His location is better than it used to be. He's going to be a big winner.
ball fly pitcher today
He is a fly ball pitcher - always has been, always will be - and when you get a windy day like today he is going to give up some homers.
number pitches
He got the number of pitches he needed. He didn't look bad. That one inning, he was scattering a little bit. Other than that, he pitched okay.
awful goes knows nobody overthrow pitch strike
He goes through spurts where he'll pitch like that, and then he'll just overthrow and he can't find the strike zone. Nobody knows why, but when he's on, he's awful tough.
