attitude expect express final four great guys less month next proud weekend
I've been on some great teams. I'm just really proud. I can't express enough how proud I am of this team. The personality. The get-after-it attitude every day. I expect no less these next four games. I told you guys this a month ago: It's probably going to come down to the final weekend in Washington.
great
The way I look at it, it was a great game.

I wanted him to throw the same pitch and I gave him a signal to tell him, 'I'll block this one,'

I've never seen anything like that, ... You just sit down and go, 'This is unbelievable that this is happening.'

benefits driving jimmy program reaping room season seen took weight
He really took his strength-and-conditioning program seriously, and he's reaping the benefits and driving the ball. I've seen Jimmy in the weight room during the season more than I've ever seen him in the past.
explain numbers quickly
He's dirty. There isn't much to explain when you see the numbers out there and how quickly he went through the lineup.
colorado game hot july last numbers
He's been hot for the last 12 or 13 starts. You take away the Colorado game (on July 31). If you put those numbers up, it's been pretty awesome.
ace bottom
He's doing what an ace should do. He's our ace, that's the bottom line.
none
If we don't win, none of it matters.

Jon has really done his part in the second half of the season. Unfortunately it seems like the guys he pitches against are just as tough.
investment
He has been great, ... This is what the organization made that investment for.
breaking sharper stuff velocity
He had more velocity on his fastball, his changeup was slower, and he had sharper breaking stuff. He had better stuff than he did in May.
benefits finding scores seriously strength took
If he scores runs, we win. He really took his strength and conditioning (program) seriously and he's finding out the benefits of it now.
