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.
good hitting home
The two home runs, those aren't very good hitters. Nothing for nothing, but they're hitting .240 for a reason.
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.
closer good position
We were in a good position going into the ninth, and then we had our closer out there.
good happened hitting home mistakes perfect
Those just happened to be perfect mistakes for those hitters. Those two home runs, they aren't very good hitters. Nothing for nothing, but they are hitting .240 for a reason.

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.
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.
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.
both guy sides vote
I will never . . . vote for a guy who doesn't play on both sides of the field,
fourth gave good pitches run settled
We made some good pitches in the first, just not good enough. They scored another run in the fourth that was the game-winner. So as much as we settled down, we still gave it back up to them.

(Pat) Hentgen used to tell me: 'You can't control wins and losses, you can control what you do'. That's why I think for a lot of veteran guys they understand how important it is to throw a lot of innings, to get 200-plus innings,
