fastball field guy hit left middle trying
I was trying to go fastball down and away. You don't want the guy to hit the ball to left field with power, and he's got some power. Dougie set up down and away. The ball was middle up, and he just tomahawked it.
ball bit great hitting
It was a back-and-forth battle. They have a great team. They're hitting the ball well. We just hit the ball a little bit better.
dominating guy hitters ninth people stands works
He's a young guy who works hard. He's not just scraping by in the ninth inning. He's going out there and dominating hitters and people in the stands want to see that in a ninth-inning guy.
chance game hitting phases playing september
We're playing well in all phases of the game and hitting September where we want to be, with a chance to go to the playoffs. We have a lot of confidence.
good hit less location percent
Location was everything and I wasn't in the right location. I probably hit less than 50 percent of my spots. I wasn't very good today, at all.
accept either game good hit less maybe percent threw throw today
I probably hit less than 50 percent of my spots. I wasn't good today at all. You've got to accept that. That's part of the game right there. Either you're on or you're off. Today was off. They hit me. They know I throw strikes. Maybe I threw too many.
great guys hitters learning mistake paid
He's learning. He doesn't know the hitters yet. He made a mistake and paid for it. He's going to get guys out more often than not. He's got great stuff.
broke shows stayed wake
The way I look at it, when Wake got hit, he probably could have broke his shin and he still would have stayed in the game. He wanted to be in there and he wanted to win. It shows a lot what he's made of.
criticize maligned people taken
I've never been in a bullpen, in my 15 years, that hasn't taken criticism, or been maligned or something. People are going to criticize what you do.
closer fastball plate rode
I was going fastball away and just overthrew it a little bit. It kind of rode back closer to the plate than I wanted.
affected bullpen storm year
It hasn't really affected us that much. We've had our own storm going on in the bullpen all year long, so nothing's different now.
achievement maybe nice
Maybe I'm not as old as I think I am. It's an accomplishment. It's a nice stat to have.
fat
He's a fat guy. He's a big fat guy.
chance edgar mistake ninety percent pick save turn
Ninety percent of the time, Edgar is going to turn that over. That's part of the game. I had a chance to pick up his mistake and save a win.
