It's nothing like I've ever seen. He's tough. He's been doing that all year. |
It's really a testament to the way C.C. has stuck with it and grinded it out this season. When he wasn't going so good, he stayed after it, and now he's better physically, mentally - with his preparation, with everything. |
It's really the first time we've seen him in that type of situation. |
It's something I have the luxury not to comment on. |
It's something that's been a gradual process, and a team that's done a [heck of a] job of evolving and continuing to improve. |
It's something we have to be aware of. But the deeper we go in camp, the less likely it is to be an issue. And I don't expect there will be any limitations on him during the season. |
It's still way too early to draw any conclusions about that. |
It's tough, ... Anytime you finish the season with a loss, it's tough. But that's the way it is. I do think you've got to take a step back and, once the smoke settles, reflect on what this team has accomplished. |
It's tough. Those last couple feet, you never know what's going to happen. It's one of the most difficult things to do as a catcher. |
J-Mike came through in a huge way tonight. |
J.D. has a position player's mentality in that he wants to participate every day. It's safe to say that his resilience is a pleasant surprise. |
Jake battled through five. But because he worked so hard, we had to go to the bullpen early. |
Jake nibbled a little that inning, walked a guy, gave up a jam shot, and then the home run. |
Jake really worked his way into the game. He was pretty consistent today. He did a better job with his sinker. |
Jake threw the ball OK, but the big ball beat him tonight. |
