ball count impressive increase luck next pitch rough threw
A pretty impressive debut, rough luck there in the first inning, but he threw the ball well. He got better as he went along. We'll increase his pitch count the next outing.
game shut
The most important inning of any game is the one after you score. You have to shut them down. We didn't shut them down.
none separate themselves
Somebody's got to separate themselves from the pack, and none of them has done it so far. But we've still got time.
borne die last night pitching three truism white
The old truism that you live and die with your pitching has been borne out the last two nights, and really the whole series. We got two really well pitched games, which we won, and (Tuesday) night was something I'd like to forget. We'll take it. If you take two out of three from the White Sox, that's pretty special.
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.
ball runs score threw
Jarrod threw the ball very, very well. He was outstanding. We just couldn't score runs off the other guy.
al fit great hitting nice west
Jarrod should be a great fit for our rotation. With the left-handed hitting in the AL West and in our ballpark, it's nice to have another lefty.
adjust command consistent element hoping jeff key location somewhere success
Jeff had a seven-pitch first and 35-pitch second, and we were hoping he'd adjust somewhere in the middle. But he couldn't. His location was off and his command, and command is the key element to success on a consistent basis.
came jeff threw
Jeff came in and threw strikes. He competed. And he's versatile, too. He can start, he can relieve, he can spot-start.
along continue jamie last outing
Jamie was good. His outing today, to go along with what Hernandez did last night, it makes you feel pretty good. We just have to continue to do that.
