couple innings looks
You think it looks pretty good. A couple of innings later, it didn't look so good.
absolutely numbers
The numbers tell the story. He's been absolutely phenomenal.
explain run start wants
That's pretty good. He can start another five-year run if he wants to. That's pretty incredible. I don't know how to explain that.
explain fine good kinds nice run start wants
That's pretty good. He can start another five-year run if he wants to, and that would be fine with me. That's a nice streak. It's pretty incredible. I don't know how to explain those kinds of things, but that's a pretty good streak.
ball biggest difference good strike team
That's the biggest difference in their team this year. They don't look like they're going to strike out as much as in the past. When you put the ball in play, good things are going to happen.
baseball box coming creates diversion good hard running
That's a good baseball play right there. Biggio was running hard out of the box going to second, so it creates a little diversion there, and Willy was coming hard the whole way.
across dead fastball hitter locate pitch took
It was a pitch that just took off across the plate. (Sanders) is a dead fastball hitter and we all know that, but if we locate it where we want to, we'll be all right. We just didn't get it where we wanted to.
ball control exactly good job pitch surprises takes year
It was not a reconstruction on the elbow, so I thought he'd come back from it and pitch well this year, so I'm not surprised. What surprises me is that his control had been is as good as it has been. Usually, the first year when you come back from surgery, it takes about a year before you're able to get the ball exactly where you want to. But he's done a pretty good job of locating pitches.
hard message time
I've had a hard time getting the message across,
bit trying
Oh, I'm just trying to get through tonight. We'll think about that a little bit later. Right now, I don't know what we'll do on Saturday.
bad face mouth simply sweating wrong
It was a bad call. It was a wrong call, ... He didn't go to his mouth on the mound. He was simply sweating profusely on his face and was wiping it away.
factor pitch trying
It swelled up on him and that was probably a little factor in the game. He was trying to pitch through it.
against anyway felt fine given might morris mosquito tonight
It's very small. It's like a mosquito bite, is the way it was described. Mo said he felt great, no pain, no fatigue, no nothing. He's fine to play, but I might have given him tonight off anyway against (Matt) Morris .
absolute poor rotten
It's some pretty poor hitting, absolute rotten hitting.
