beginning good pitch slider throwing time
My slider has been really good this spring. It's kind of good to know that it's come along. At one time at the beginning of spring, I thought about throwing that pitch away.
late locate pitches strikes throw
I was able to locate my pitches and throw strikes late in the game.
early eight pitches quality trying
I was just trying to make good, quality pitches early in the count. I think I had eight three-pitch outs, and that's big.
anybody pitching spring
I'm not about freaking pitching around anybody in spring training,
ahead felt good gotten guys pitches since trying win
That felt good. It's been a while since I've gotten one in the win column. I know those guys are very aggressive. I was just trying to make good pitches and get ahead in the count.
figured given good hat hit job pitch ready surprised three tip
I made a good pitch to Holliday and he hit a good pitch. I tip my hat to that. I figured (the quick-pitch) was a good thing to do. In the three years I've been doing that I've only given up one hit. He did a good job of getting ready to hit that ball. That surprised me.
believer hit letting
I'm a big-time believer in, on 3-2 counts, letting them hit it.
bad excuse
I've got no excuses. I made a bad pitch.
bad bullpen case great held job turn year
It's not going to turn out that way many times. All year long when we've had a four-run lead, the bullpen has held it. The 'pen has done a great job all year. This was just a case of bad timing.
confidence guy knows loves reason stuck total
Every guy loves to have someone back there who knows what he's doing and has total confidence in his game-calling. That's what he have with Sal. There's a reason he's stuck around so long.
adrenaline coming
You get more adrenaline coming out of the bullpen. It's going to be a challenge.

This is Ryan Franklin, fercryinoutloud! Get some hits!
might treat trying
I treat (pitchers) like non-hitters. I might have been trying to back off a little bit. From now on, I'll treat 'em like a .300 hitter.
gave good hit job ready tried
I tried to quick-pitch him. I thought it was the right thing to do. All the times I've done it, I think I gave up one hit. But he did a good job getting ready to hit the ball.
