game redeeming
The only redeeming thing about this game is, it's over.
august bullpen continue fifth gas guys september starting year
We've been in our bullpen with a lot of regularity this year in the fifth inning or starting the sixth. We've had to use (Julio) Mateo, (J.J.) Putz and (Rafael) Soriano in two-inning stints a lot already this year. If we continue to do that, when we get to August and September and we're in this, those guys are going to be out of gas because we had to use them so much.
against ball pitches threw
Our pitches got very tentative. You can't get tentative against a lineup like the Yankees. We threw ball one, ball two.
ball pitchers throwing
Our pitchers got tentative, started throwing ball one, ball two, and when you do that you're going to be in trouble.
couple good pleased start step waiting weeks woods
I was especially pleased with the way Woods threw. It's good to see them start to step up. We've been waiting for a couple of weeks for it to happen.
angels good hit hurt lapse pitching played sixth team
I thought our pitching was pretty good today. The Angels have a good team but we pitched well, hit pretty well and defensively played well. That one lapse in the sixth inning hurt us, obviously.
arm best confident fact game percent seen stronger
I think we've seen him getting stronger and stronger and more confident in the fact his arm is 100 percent healthy. This game was probably the best of them all.
behind game hits hitters pitching result saw threw
I think we saw the result of not pitching in a game. Even at that, they only got two hits off him. But he was behind a lot of hitters and threw a lot of pitches.
ask talked
I think it was a little indecisive. You would have to ask him. We talked to him.
knowing surprise
Knowing Adrian, this doesn't surprise me. He's always going to volunteer.
ball balls club good hard hitting kept played
Joel was awfully good. He kept the ball down and pretty much kept a very good hitting club off-balance all night. The balls they hit hard we had them played right.
good guys players receiving ring
I think it's good for our players to see these guys receiving a ring like this. Getting that ring is what it's all about.
felt pulled
He said it felt like a cramp. If I was to guess, I'd say he pulled a hamstring.
ball extremely good pitch threw velocity
His velocity was good from the first pitch on. Joel threw the ball extremely well.
