afford behind bullpen carries coming defense figure great guys run score
When you're going out there as a pitcher, there are some times where you feel like you can't afford to give up a run or two runs. That carries a lot of pressure. With the way we're set up right now, you don't figure that to be the case. You figure that these guys are going to score some runs, they're going to play defense and we know we've got a great bullpen coming in behind us.
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.
running
We were running out of outs. You don't get a lot of opportunities.
dangerous fights guys half people punches running throwing time
The baseball fights, you don't ever see the squaring off like you do in hockey, and in some instances, that's where baseball fights can be potentially more dangerous because you've got guys running all over the place and people throwing punches at you that you don't even see half the time.
ability arm close falls jump running shutting team unless vertical wins
If I have to make the team on my vertical jump, my long jump or my running ability, I don't like my chances. I don't plan, unless my arm falls off, on getting this close to 300 wins and then shutting it down.
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.
