ball blown both brad couple gets given lead location though throwing wants
Both will get on track. Even though Brad has given up the lead and blown a couple of saves, I think he's throwing the ball pretty well. When he gets his location where he wants it to be, he's going to be fine.
brad fantastic good notice
Brad had a fantastic year. He was just outstanding. When you don't notice the catcher, that's when he's having a good year. He didn't let anything get by him.

You have to let Edmonds hit the ball. You can't walk him. Brad knows that. We were feeling pretty good, but you have to play every out. We failed to play every out tonight.

With guys like him that are so in tune with their swings, they know something's off, and it can be something quite as simple as the hands. Once they get it figured out, the confidence level shoots way up and once their confidence level shoots up and they've corrected the mechanical flaws, you can get results like this.
couple game gotten points turned
When you look back, there were a couple of points during the game where it could have gotten real close. It turned out OK, but I thought it was going to be real easy.

We've played with it closed most of the year, I want to say about 85 percent of the time, ... I find it strange that somebody would say we have to open it now.

We're planning on him being able to play. If he needs to stay in Houston, that will be his last off day.
