coming guys last second somebody spring time ton training year
Any time somebody has a first year with a team, you have spring training but the second year coming back you're more comfortable with the guys. We didn't have a ton of turnover. We have some new guys but we pretty much have the same guys as last year.
award game pitch somebody stuff
Somebody told us before the game he has better stuff than (Cy Young award winner) Johan Santana, ... He doesn't know how to pitch like Johan Santana yet. But once he does, he will be real good.

Last year at this time, I didn't know what would happen. I knew I had to show everybody what I could do. It was a long process. This was a much more relaxing winter. I was able to enjoy myself a lot more.

He's definitely not going to walk anybody and he knows what he's doing. It was the same old stuff. He gets you to get yourself out. He's smart out there. He makes you put the ball in play where seven guys are there to pick it up. As a defensive player, you like pitchers like that.

He's done a nice job. I'm not sure what he wants to do, that's one of the key things, but the last three years, look at our record.

He's had a great year, an incredible year. He looks like one of the best pitchers in the league again.
amazing drop electric good knows run seen sit stuff throwing tough
He has electric stuff. Having electric stuff is one thing, but he knows how to use it. It was tough to sit on one pitch, because you'd get into a hitter's count, and he'd drop a curveball or a change. And he's throwing fastballs 97, 98, 99 with pretty amazing run to it. That's as good a stuff as we've seen all year.
credit played playing realized wrong
He never faulted us once for not playing hard, and that would have been wrong if he did. We always played hard. We were just terrible. That's a credit to him that he realized that and never faulted us.

ballpark good liked lose ourselves pitchers position three threw tough win
Sure, we'd have liked to win all three. But it's a tough ballpark to play in. They threw three good pitchers at us. We still find ourselves in a good position. You don't want to lose a series. But the position we're in, we're OK.
