ability adjust baltimore expect game himself knowledge maturity onto realize says time walks
Every time he walks out and you look at his face, you realize you expect too much out of him. He's only 19 years old. But even today, he showed an ability to adjust and get back onto his game. The first two innings, he was not on his game at all. To adjust the way he did and to keep Baltimore where they were as long as he did, says a lot about his maturity and his knowledge of himself as a pitcher.

We saw the result of him not pitching in a game for 14 days. Even given that, he gave up only two hits.

We finally won our first extra-inning game and our first one-run game. When these things end, the way they end is usually like pulling teeth.
game redeeming
The only redeeming thing about this game is, it's over.
box crew game inches middle rat seven sitting six sudden took walked
We're sitting there in the middle of the game and all of a sudden a rat walked into our dugout. It must have been about six or seven inches long. It took a while for someone from the grounds crew to come get it, put it in a box and take it away.
game hit pitching staff sticks time
Absolutely. He handles the pitching staff very well. He has an idea out there and sticks with a game plan. We'd like to see him hit more, but there's time for that.
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.
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.
against games past saw seattle ton
I saw a stat that said Guerrero has 14 homers against Seattle in 34 games the past two years. That's a ton of homers against one club.
game level pitch
He'll pitch at least one simulated game and probably a 'B' game. We want to get him to the 50- to 55-pitch level before he leaves.
behind bob dan game wilson wins
I don't see how Bob Wolcott wins that game had Dan Wilson not been behind the plate.

You don't win 114 games by being lucky.
caught glad hit sure
We weren't sure if he caught it just before he hit or as he hit. After he hit the ground, we were glad to see him get back up.
