good honor last pitch shape tremendous wrong
It's going to be a tremendous honor. He's in too good of shape for this to be his last start, but I could be wrong and he won't pitch another game. But it isn't because he can't pitch.
bite credit short style tough upset win
It's a tough bite to chew. The expectations on us to win and getting upset is a credit to their style of play and their pitching. We put everything we had into this in such a short time, and didn't get it done.
dispute either gets guy pitches talked throw
That is surprising. He's all about efficiency. But he's talked about how he's had to throw more pitches as he gets older, and that's part of it, too. Either way, the guy is 5-0, and you can't dispute that.
faith plays
It'll be interesting to see how everything plays out. It's not going to be easy, but we'll see what happens. It's going to be a fight. I have faith in my team.
stuff
It's a little uncharacteristic for Glendon today. The stuff was there but a little inconsistent.
believe definitely fallen good miracle realizing stay team
We're going to need a miracle now to stay in this thing. I believe in those, but it's definitely frustrating realizing how good of a team we have and how we've fallen short.
thinks whenever
Whenever we lose, he thinks he's going to have cardiac arrest.
dictate good hit pitches
Where I hit in the lineup shouldn't dictate my performance. It has no correlation. I just have to get good pitches to hit.
easy force hoping
We were hoping to force turnovers and get some easy baskets, which we did.
abject arc based guilt joy lover man matter moon moves piece poem power pregnant raise sorrow stay string tells walks women
This string sextet by Schoenberg is based on a Viennese poem in which a women walks with her lover under the moon and confesses that she is pregnant by another man. The man tells his love he will stay with her no matter what and raise the child. The arc of the piece moves from abject sorrow and guilt to joy and underscores the transformative power of love and commitment.
hoping issue
We are hoping to get in there today, but that's the issue - getting there.
ball error gave hard rattled runs seen three tough understand worse
They gave him an error on that? That was a tough play. The ball was going away from him. How we were able to get three runs in that inning was hard to understand for us. But I don't think he was rattled after that play. When you're a closer, you've probably seen worse things that that.
forget
At halftime, I told her to forget the fouls and just go out and play.
reasonable tells
That tells you this is a good, reasonable bill.
