I think one win can change things. That's all it takes. It was a big win tonight, a fight to the end. Tomorrow, everybody's going to come in knowing we're on the winning side of things.
continue few improve matter pitch winning
I think we need to continue to improve because we're still young and I think we will. Now that we have a few years in, we know we can pitch at this level. Now, it's a matter of winning more at this level.

We got together and talked some things out.
ball breaking coming fastball good looked pressure putting threw time trying
It looked like he was trying to feel for his breaking ball a little bit, that's what it looked like he threw in the dirt. Fastball was coming out good. Probably been putting a little pressure on himself, trying to do too much. First time out there, for any pitcher, it's the first time out there. You don't know what to expect. You're just trying to go out there and get a good feel for it, really.

But that'll take some time. But I believe he knows what he's doing. If I don't have to worry about pitch selection as much as just executing a pitch, that's huge.
blame change coach falls gotten guess head looking manager
He's gotten the blame for a lot of things that really aren't his fault. But that's the way it is. Usually the blame falls on the manager or the head coach in sports. I guess you're looking for a change when things aren't going the way you like them.
