against deal less mean pitching pittsburgh players
I won't say it doesn't mean anything, but it's not as big a deal as it was because there are less and less players who are there when I was. Pitching against them will always mean something. It's not like me pitching against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
both game pitching run threw tight
You know it's going to be a tight game and one run can be the difference. . . . Both of us threw well, but Timmy threw a little better. I like the way I'm pitching right now . . . but you don't like losing, especially a game like this.
good guys name pitching style trying
We're trying to make a name for the 40-and-older crowd. It's good to see guys with our style of pitching still doing it and doing pretty well.
good jump pitching vertical
It was pretty good for day one. I did much better in my pitching than I did in my vertical jump and my long jump.
either hang hear hours people pitching unless waiting
It was either come in here and hang out for two hours waiting for the game, or do something. You hear about these guys, and you hear about people in our system. Unless we're pitching on the same day, you never get to see them throw.
against happen
What's going to happen when I try it against Atlanta?
facing gets needed relax team tempo trying
The tempo on my changeup is a little off right now because I was gung-ho being out there and trying to make pitches. I needed to relax a little bit. When you're facing a team other than your own for the first time, your competitiveness gets going a little bit.

becomes catching expecting gives hitting icing looking maybe settled
Is he going to be a .300 hitter? I don't know. Maybe sometime. But I don't think any of us are expecting that or really looking for that out of him this year. I think right now it's more about catching the ball. I think the more comfortable he becomes with that and the more settled he gets, the better his hitting is going to get. Anything he gives us offensively right now is icing on the cake.
supposed
We are going to be all right pitching. We are doing everything we are supposed to be doing.
fallen ourselves position
We had ourselves in a position to make a run, ... and it's kind of fallen apart.
against measured
Because I hadn't pitched well against them and because they're good, ... I measured myself against them.
sooner
The sooner you know, the more you can focus.
energy enthusiasm fun guy stuck
The thing that stuck out about him was his energy and enthusiasm when he played. He was a fun guy to watch.
