We're winning because our starting pitching has been great and our bullpen has done a good job. To win the series was really important to us.

That's the way we play, good defense, good pitching and get clutch hitting. That's what we did last season.
goes pitcher pitching sets
Like I say every day, I think the pitching sets the tone. When you've got a pitcher go there and do what Jose did today, I think everything goes perfectly.
breathe brought guys last mistake pitching runs score staff year
We can score more runs this year than last year. That's why we brought those guys here. Last year, God, it was 2-1, 1-0, 3-2 every game. My pitching staff couldn't even breathe one minute. They can't even make one mistake because we'd lose.
ball good people pitching staff throwing
I thought I would see better pitching performances because our pitching staff is pretty good and so is theirs, ... Right now, they're not throwing the ball the way people thought.
afraid great people pitching pull reason
He's aggressive. He has great instinct, and he isn't afraid to pull the trigger. There's a reason why they did so well. People will say they have a great pitching staff, but you have to make it work.
pitching playoffs
From the first day of the playoffs the pitching always has been good.

Most of the time we'd start a trip in Oakland, the pitching staff in Oakland would give us a lot of problems, and then we'd move to Anaheim and carry the problem here.

The pitching staff has carried this team the whole year, but it's nice when you score a lot of runs.
defense games last mind pitching strong win
To me, our pitching and our defense weren't strong enough (in '04). Now we can win games 3-2 with a squeeze. Last year, it never went through my mind to squeeze.

We built this team around defense and pitching. When you've got good defense, your pitching staff is going to be better because they're not going to make that many mistakes.
arm attack best confidence everybody game guys kid matter months pitching strikes throw time town win won
Two months ago everybody wanted to kill this kid and get him out of town because he was pitching horrible. Jose had always had the best arm on my team. It's a matter of time when he can use that. It's a matter of confidence. This kid won a big game for us and he showed the guys when you have confidence and throw strikes and attack the strike zone, you can win a lot of games.
best confusing crazy guts mccarthy pitching point problem
It's not a confusing problem for me because I can say McCarthy isn't pitching any more, that's it. I have enough guts to do that. I'm crazy enough to say that. But right now that's not the point. The point is what's the best for the team, not what's best for McCarthy.
