good hitting home league major runs
The two home runs -- those aren't good hitters. Nothing for nothing, but they're hitting .240 for a reason. But they're like any other Major League hitter. You make a mistake, they're going to hit it hard.
blew blow
You can't blow leads. I blew two and we blew four.
confident helps people pressure takes
A lot of people won't do that. It helps me to be a lot more confident and takes a lot of pressure off me.
affect best chasing diving error good grind hitter might next others vote
They don't go through the grind others do defensively, diving after balls, chasing balls, if you make an error how it might affect you next at bat. If you're a DH you don't go through any of that. You just hit. So as good a hitter as he is, and he's one of the best in the game, no question, I can never vote for him. That's all.
affect balls chasing diving good grind guys hitter might vote
They don't go through the grind other guys go through defensively, diving after balls, chasing balls. If you make an error, it might affect you but if you're a DH, you don't go through any of that. You just hit. As good a hitter as he is, and he's one of the best, no question, I could never vote for a guy who doesn't do play defense.
ball couch finish good realize sit strong throwing winning wins
It's all about winning with me, ... I want to go out there and win. I realize I'm throwing the ball pretty well and I'm strong at the end of the year. But when the season's over and I sit on my couch I'll look back and if things finish out like they are, I'll feel pretty good about myself. But I can't sit and look at it now because the wins aren't getting done.
bad effort gave poor tough turnaround
It just got bad. The tough part is I gave up a four-run lead. It was just a poor turnaround and bad effort on my part.
bad counts decent fact four great halfway home line looks mistakes pitches runs
It looks like a halfway decent line but the fact that I made four mistakes and they jumped all over them for extra-base hits, it's just not acceptable. Those home runs were not acceptable, bad pitches in great counts for me.
late means number pitch shows starting
It's a big number for a lot of starting pitchers, ... No. 1, it means that you've made all your starts. Second, it shows that you're able to pitch late into games.
couple guys overthrow pressure
After a couple of guys got on and they scored, I put a little pressure on myself to really get them out. I think I started to overthrow it slightly.
chance fighting glad job team throw
(Phillips) is fighting for a job on this team and I'm glad I got a chance to throw to him.
control losses wins
When I was back with Baltimore, Sidney Ponson used to tell me that you can't control wins and losses but you can control 200 innings, ... Now, I'd like to get that.
credit definitely strikes threw work zone
I think I threw more strikes than I got credit for. I was around the zone a lot. I definitely got my work in.
catch kid strong
He's a big kid with long arms. I don't think he got it off the end of the bat. It had to catch a little barrel. But he's a big boy, a strong kid.
