ball hitting low stayed threw today velocity watching
He threw the ball well, man. He was hitting his spots, and he had his velocity back, too. Watching some of his starts, he's been in the low 90s, and today he stayed around 94 and 95.
definitely outside threw
He threw it right there. It definitely was a strike. Right down the tube. Outside corner.
shown team
We think we're a better team than we've shown this month.
against games hit hopefully pitchers tough toughest win
We do have a tough division. We have to play 54 games against the toughest pitchers in the league. Hopefully we can hit and pitch on the same day and win games.
believe care everybody
We believe in ourselves. We don't care what everybody else thinks.
kept moving played won wrong
We should have won because they cheated. They kept moving up to the wrong tees. We played from the back tees.
base chance drive good open rather seem situation theory understand walk
If it does work, then there's a base open and they're going to walk me anyway. I don't understand the theory why he stole there. It doesn't seem to be a good green-light situation with two outs. I'd rather there not be a base open and give me a chance to drive in the run.
beat games kids late pitchers seventh sixth
We've been in most of these games in the fifth, sixth and seventh innings. Most of the pitchers we know are going to be with us have been OK. It's the kids who have been getting beat up late in games.
agree came eventually feelings friend listen owe talk
I think you owe it to someone as a friend to try and talk them out of something like that. But you have to listen to what they are saying. After a while, his feelings really came through. Eventually I had to agree with him that it was the right thing to do.
deep player wish
I think it was the right one. I think if deep down inside, he didn't feel like he could be the player that he was. I wish him the best.
sure wondering
I was wondering why, when he left, he kind of got the boos. I wasn't really sure of why exactly,
ball fly looking tie
I was actually just looking for a fly ball there. That's really all we need, just tie the game,
ball days felt hitting talk talked
I talk to him every day. He's one of my better friends in the game. I talked to him two days ago and everything was fine. He was hitting the ball the other way. It felt like he was doing some of the things he used to do.
ball definitely hitting
He said he was hitting the ball the other way and doing some of the things he used to do. But some things are more important in life, and family's definitely one of those things.
