chalk gray quality seems throwing understand
You have to chalk this up as a quality start. That's what I don't understand. He seems like he's throwing so bad, but he's throwing great. That's the frustrating thing. That's why I'm getting gray hair. I don't understand why we can't get over the hump.

It's a matter of keeping that intensity through the whole at-bat. The job's not over after the first strike. Once you get on top, you need to bury him. That's the attitude you have to have.
