ball early moved sharp vintage
It was vintage Maddux. He was sharp early and he moved the ball around.
balance ball couple early guys keeping last late locate mixing starts today trying vintage
It was vintage Maddux. He's been able to locate the ball really well early in the count. He's getting the ball down and away. Late in the count, he's keeping guys off balance by mixing his pitches. You can't say much more than vintage Maddux. He did today what he's been doing the last couple starts -- not trying to do too much.
anybody ball defends feed strength
She defends the ball as well as anybody in the league. That's our strength, her quickness. We feed off of her.
awkward ballpark looks
It looks like a whole new ballpark to me. It looks different, a little awkward right now.
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.
ball easy winter work
He'll work out every day this offseason and if he goes, I think winter ball will be easy to do,
balls breaking early few good guys kept uses using
He may be one of those guys who we have to see a few times before we get used to him. A lot of guys, you don't see them using their breaking balls this early and he uses more breaking balls than anything else, and they're good breaking balls. It kept us off balance.
ball base job maybe partly running second setup stop success
It was a frustrating day for me personally. I didn't get the ball to second base like I wanted to. It was partly my job to stop the running game, and I didn't have any success doing that. Maybe there's something I'm tipping off in my setup to keep him from running all over the place.
ball base flying job maybe partly running second stop
I couldn't get the ball to second base like I wanted to. It's partly my job to stop the running game. Maybe I'm tipping off something in my setup. I have to keep them from flying all over the place.
ball believe close great johnny sudden
I couldn't believe it was going to be a close play, and all of sudden he (catcher Johnny Estrada) had the ball before I even started sliding. It was a great play on their part.
intensive mastered skill technical thus
We hypothesized that cardiac auscultation is more of a technical skill and thus could be mastered through the use of intensive repetition.
awesome believe
I still can't believe it. What an awesome weekend. I don't know what's going on.
overall
Even right now, I'm still a little light-headed, but overall I feel a lot better than I thought I was going to feel,
fisher foot mile quarter red rock skinny tent unto wilderness
The tent is at the foot of the Fisher Towers, spires of skinny red rock set in a wilderness a quarter of a mile from the river. Intermission is at sunset, a show unto itself.
