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.
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.
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.
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.
ball behind fall frustrated good news trying
I'm just trying to out think myself, I think. Then, when you do fall behind and you're not locating the ball well enough, it's always good news for the hitters. I'm frustrated right now.
chance consistent giving guys knew last pitcher proud
That's the one I was the most proud of from last season. Even when I was going through it, I knew it was kind of cool. I'm being consistent and I'm giving the guys a chance to win. That's what any pitcher wants.
looked prove trying
I think just being who I am and the way I have always looked at things and the way I got to the big leagues, always trying to prove myself ... now it's a part of me and the only way I know how to go about my business.
fastball throw
I thought I located my fastball pretty well. I made some mistakes, but for the most part I think I did pretty well. If I can throw like I did today, then why can't I do it in a week? We'll find out down the stretch.
al david guys hiding hype known might power
Man, Travis is good. He's got power to all fields. He might not get as much hype as David Ortiz or guys like that. He's been kind of been hiding in the AL Central. But he's well known to us pitchers.
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.
