great lacking runs slide
That was a great slide and we got two runs out of it. That is something we have been lacking all year.
late runs
We've got to keep those runs from scoring, especially late in the ballgame.
add everybody happened runs supposed
To add the runs on is huge. You really couldn't write it up better than it happened tonight. Everybody is doing what they're supposed to do in the lineup.
drive hits momentum runs
Two-out hits to drive in runs are huge. They are momentum killers to the other side.
ball runs score threw
Jarrod threw the ball very, very well. He was outstanding. We just couldn't score runs off the other guy.
runs score
He pitched an outstanding game. We just couldn't score enough runs for him to win.
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.
hold might throw
We might hold him back and just have him throw on the side. But we're not there yet.
ball hit last
We hit the ball pretty decently today, but right at people. Just like last night.
hours medical people recover slept
We think he slept on it wrong, and sometimes that can take hours to recover from. At least that's what our medical people told me. Anyway, he's fine.
ball calls difficult hard learn pitches pleased receives worked
I've been very, very pleased with how he receives the ball and how he calls a game, the pitches he's called. It's difficult to learn the pitchers, but he's worked hard at it.
absolutely anybody expected forward starts thrown watching
The way he's thrown and the starts that he's had have been absolutely outstanding. He has been better than we really expected him to be. Like anybody else, when he's on the mound, I look forward to watching him pitch.
eddie pitches spring threw
Eddie threw more pitches in that inning than he did all spring training.
couple rest second settled struggling throwing trouble
Felix, the first couple of innings, was struggling with his mechanics. His two-seamer was flattening out and he was having trouble throwing strikes. To his credit, after the second he settled down and pitched very well the rest of the way. Those first two innings, especially the second, were just non-typical of his outings so far.
