against far few five guy pitching six
Pitching against a guy like (Zambrano), you can't give up five or six runs. You just can't do it. He's going to have a day every once in a while where he does, but they're going to be few and far between.
apart coming good guys hope start swallow team tear tough
That's the way we feel. We'll see how things play out. I hope they don't tear this team apart and we have to start all over. I know we have some good young guys coming up, but it would be tough for a lot of us to swallow if we have to start over.
ball guy hit respecting type whenever
I wanted to make a point. You look like a jackass whenever you hit the ball like that and you're pimping it, and you're out. I'm kind of about respecting the game, and I'm not the type of guy to not say anything.
ball fly gets guy pressure throwing time
Any time you put pressure on the defense, that's good. You get a throwing error, the guy can end up with a triple, and then a fly ball gets him home.
easily either game guys happy however tie
Either one of those guys can easily tie the game or put them ahead. You're happy with however you get them out.
besides guys pitchers scoring teams three top
It's about scoring runs. Pitching, your top three pitchers are going to be out there but besides that, they are going to be yanking guys pretty quick. All the teams will do this, Houston, Philly.
against bad believed execute guy luck needed pitches pitching six
I've always believed you make your own luck. I wouldn't say I had bad luck today. I just didn't execute pitches when I needed to. Pitching against a guy (Zambrano) like that, you can't give up six runs.
double guy hits instead mean
That's huge. I mean this guy hits a double there, then we are down 4-0 instead of 1-0.
batting guys spots starting
We had some guys who had been starting and batting in different spots in the order,
guy balls wanted
I've definitely always wanted to be the guy they tell, 'Here's the ball. Go do it.'
people
We're going to need some luck. We have to have some people lose.
half month
We've still got little more than half a month to go, probably three-quarters of a month actually. We've got to keep winning. This thing ain't over yet.
innings last next pitches point spring threw
Last year, I threw so much in spring training, at this point I had 12 or 13 innings under my belt. It was ridiculous. I'm excited. I threw 60 pitches already, how many more do I have to have? Seventy-five or 80 in my next start, and from there I can go to 100, really.
fired heard stealing
I was kind of fired up about my situation, and it was escalated when I heard they were stealing pitches, and that's my fault,
