against earned few games good jordan lost pitchers season wins
He should have more wins than he has. He's earned more wins, but he's been in games against very good pitchers and lost a few low-scoring games. But Jordan has been very good all season long.
great line mold offensive
He'll mold our offensive line into a great unit.
deserves fantastic great runs wins year
He was fantastic again. He's been great all year and deserves more wins than he has because we have not scored runs for him.
everybody happy injuries pull together until whatever
I have just been happy to make whatever contribution I can to help. With the injuries you just have to pull together until we get everybody back.
behind errors matter plays
He had some errors behind him. They were plays we should have made, but when you come back and win, it doesn't matter as much.
keeping pitching riding team wave
I'm just riding a wave right now. Pitching right now is fun. I'm going out there and keeping my team in the game.
game keeping pitching riding team
I'm just riding a wave, ... Pitching right now is fun. I'm going out there and keeping the team in the game for as long as I'm out there. As long as I do that pitching is still going to be fun.
behind keeping pitches putting team
I'm making pitches when I need to make pitches and I'm not putting myself behind the eight-ball. It's all about keeping your team in the game. If we get nine, I can give up eight. As long as your team's in the game, I've done my job.
fill guys pride taking void
You've got to have guys who fill in the void and I'm taking in pride in that.
again ask chance consistent fresh gave good guys last level pitch prove start year
The chance is all I could ask for. It was good for me just to get a fresh start so I could pitch and prove I could be at the major-league level on a consistent basis. These guys gave me that last year and I'm getting that chance again this year.
depth expect five games good guys later missing playing season time winning
We're missing five starters. We need them back, but we're winning games now with guys I didn't expect to get much playing time this season and that's good for our depth later in the season.
early game glad good helps instead lets pound strong tough zone
That's a tough lineup. To get a five-spot early helps and lets you pound the zone a little bit. I got the curveball to Ortiz -- he's just a strong guy. It was a pretty good pitch, I thought, but that happens. I'm glad it was a 5-1 game instead of a 5-4 game.
blue win
It's my first win as a Blue Jay, it's exciting.
against ball game great hung knew proud teams today top
I'm proud of our guys. They never quit, they knew what they were going up against today and they hung in there and battled. It was a great ball game for the top two small-school teams in the area.
