strike whatever zone
If you look at the way he was continually getting strike one down in the zone ... if he does that, he can do whatever he wants.
cap game good hurt missed stuff tip
Everything he got hurt on had to do with location. He had his good stuff in the bullpen, good game plan. We just missed with our spots, and then you tip your cap to their lineup. They hurt you when you make mistakes.
good throws
The thing that makes it so good is he throws it so hard.
approach forward good hard taken winning
I've always taken the approach of working hard and being prepared. I feel good right now and look forward to winning this year.
low maybe middle strike
Down the middle to most people, but maybe a low strike to him because he's 6-foot-12.
backs cares couple fall handled might players pressure supportive taken took
From my standpoint, there's not a whole lot different that he could have done. He's passionate. He cares about the players, he backs the players and never once bashed them to the media. I thought he handled things very well and took the pressure off the players. He's taken the fall now for a couple of months. If anything, he might have been too supportive of us.
guys playing problem sure
One thing we won't have a problem with, though, is guys playing hard. Tram will make sure that happens.
bad boils kinds
We're not prepared. That's what it boils down to. There's all kinds of things that are making us look bad now, unfortunately.
great guys launching running
It's not like we're just launching pop-ups out of the park. We're doing the little things, we're running the bases, getting guys over when we need it and we're getting great pitching, and that's the key.
earn walked
It's not like he has to earn our respect. He walked in here with it.
heads
It's incredible. If they can keep their heads on straight, they'll be great.
focus heavy playing tough
It's a little tough to focus on the job. We're playing with a heavy heart. It's really tough. It makes it emotional.
knees motor pitch runs strike wants
Ultimately, he's got to pitch at the knees and then go up in the strike zone. His motor runs pretty high, and he wants to pitch up early.
games pride shut signed
You still have to go out and compete. We signed on to play 162 games, not 140 games and shut it down. If you're any kind of professional, it's important to show what kind of pride you have.
