plan
That was the plan all along. We were going to get him out of it, get him comfortable and put him back in the five.
came easy facing formal league life major second
That was big for him, to go out in more of a formal situation, facing another Major League team. The second inning he came out with easy life on his fastball. You could see he was really getting into it.
That wasn't his doing. That was kind of ours.
doctor sharp
That was just what the doctor ordered. He was as sharp as he can be. He really pitched great.
damage job nice
That was a nice job of damage control.
awesome miller roger
That was an awesome at-bat. You know Roger Clemens is not going to give in, but the thing is, Miller didn't give in either.
carry cast feels supporting team
I think he feels like he's got a better supporting cast around him this year, and he doesn't have to carry the team on his back.
improvement mental physical side
I think his improvement has come more on the mental side than the physical side,
amount extended felt good turned win
You just kind of felt that. I turned around and said, 'Prince is going to win it for us right here.' He's too good a player, too good a hitter, to have it go an extended amount of time.
blame hitters
You can blame our hitters all you want,
ben feeling
You can always tell how Ben is feeling by his personality.
against good guy sending
We feel good about sending Doug out. Doug has always pitched very well against Pittsburgh. He's a guy that you like to have on the mound.
behind everybody goes
We're all behind him. Everybody goes through things like that.
guys settled
We're a little more settled this year. We have a better idea of when guys are going to pitch. We have a plan.
