accept fact high hit
You just have to accept the fact that you're probably not going to hit as high as you know you can,
ball breaking fifth fourth high himself innings point release trying zone
I thought in the fourth and fifth innings he really battled himself trying to find his release point and got high in the zone and couldn't get the breaking ball where he wanted to.
although best both control downhill game gets great heat high hope looks people pitch seen sides
I feel that we have not seen his best game, although I can see why people are very high on him. He has a great downhill tilt, he looks like when he gets his game together, he can control both sides of the plate. He's down in the zone. I would hope he would go down there and pitch right from the get-go and put a little heat on us up here.
high mistake walking
It's terrible. You're high as a kite. The mistake we make is walking Edmonds.
feeling high kite
It's terrible. You're high as a kite one minute. We were feeling pretty good, but you have to play every out.

They have guys that can get on base, they have guys that can hit the ball out of the ballpark and hit for a high average. So they are not an easy club to have to face and they are not an easy club to defend.
guarantees high million payroll spend
A high payroll guarantees you wins. It doesn't guarantee you championships. If you let me spend $100 million or more every year, I guarantee you I'll play over .500.
against ball bat care decent few good job pitches swinging team threw
We just had a lot of Dontrelle Willis tonight, more than I'd care to see, ... Brandon (Backe) threw the ball well. He had a lot of good pitches and only a few mistakes. That was a decent job against a team that is really swinging the bat well.
care
We just had a lot of Dontrelle Willis tonight, more than I'd care to see.
against bottom good job line missed pitches pitching zone
We missed some pitches that we should have hit, and we expanded the (strike) zone sometimes when we probably shouldn't have. But the bottom line is they did a pretty good job of pitching against us.

What's happening is we're getting timely hits and we're doing it from all parts of the lineup.

We had the lead. When we get it, normally we keep it. We will. We're good at it. We've been doing it all year.
