business challenged competitor gave great powerful roy tonight top true
We see a true competitor here with Roy. And the way he went about his business tonight gave us great confidence. He went after them. He challenged them. They are powerful from top to bottom, and Roy didn't back down.
puts roy
Roy is not a promoter. He's very laid-back. That's not a show he puts on.
fast roy sets throws works
Roy comes out, throws strikes, works at a fast pace. That sets the tempo.
andy feed rocket roy shy sort
I think Rocket and Andy really like being on the big stage. They sort of feed off that a little bit. Roy doesn't shy down from it at all, but his personality is just much more low-key.
roy tone
What Roy did tonight, he set a tone right from the get-go,
bats good happen night pitch roy swinging
They were swinging the bats pretty good and it didn't look like things were going to happen with a big night offensively. So Roy had to pitch well, and he did. So did Brad.
good roy running
When you're running Roy out there, ... you've got to feel pretty good about your chances.
baggy came hung physically roy tough win
That was a big ballgame. Roy (Oswalt) hung tough for us, and Baggy came up real big. Emotionally and physically to give us a win like that, that was really good.
few game innings later looked mound plenty roy
I thought we had plenty of runs, we had Roy on the mound and things looked pretty good. Then a few innings later things didn't look so good. It was a game you didn't want to let get away.
bullpen couple groove job rough roy tiring
I thought Roy started tiring in the sixth, ... but he did the job he had to do. And the bullpen was perfect. Roy has had a couple of rough outings lately, but he was back in the groove tonight.
fine great hear himself job naturally pitchers rocket roy winner wonderful
He's a second-time 20-game winner and you don't hear much about it. Roy himself is not a self-promoter. He's very laid-back. He's very comfortable being in the back room. You have great personalities like the Rocket (Roger Clemens) and (Andy) Pettitte, who have done some wonderful things, so I think (the attention) naturally gravitates in their direction. But Roy has done a fine job for us and he's going to go down as one of the great pitchers in this decade.
happened hear roy somebody winner
He's a second-time, 20-game winner and you don't hear much about it. If it happened with somebody else, it would be all over the place, but Roy is not a self-promoter.
bay came early game guys kept roy sixth tough
He came through big. He had one tough inning, but our guys came through for him. Once in a while, you have to have a little help. Roy kept the game at bay early on. We had a tough sixth inning, and then we responded.
changed early gave hit homer mike momentum roy saw
I really think the homer changed Roy. We had the momentum early and gave it back. But when Mike hit the homer, you saw a different Roy. He was aggressive. He got to be the Roy of old.
