I thought he made some pitches that were close to being strikes. They just weren't in [umpire Joe Brinkman's] strike zone. That's all a pitcher can do is try to make pitches. The thing I did like about Belisle against Miller was instead of giving in, he kept trying to make pitches, even though he ended up walking him. |
I thought he threw better [on Tuesday]. He threw more strikes. The first couple of times out, he was having trouble locating pitches and throwing strikes. |
I thought he was still pitching well. His pitch count was low and his stuff was still good, and he was throwing strikes. |
I thought Milton threw the ball really well. He made a mistake to Sean, but Case is an outstanding hitter. |
I told (coach) Mark Berry to give him the lineup card, |
I told [third-base coach] Mark Berry to give him the lineup card. |
I told him if he makes the club, he's going to have to dress down the hall. |
I told him it's got to be an emotional time for him, leaving the Red Sox, but that every player in this clubhouse was elated to hear that he was going to be on our club. He definitely will be welcomed here. |
I told him to get a first base glove, a second base, shortstop, third base and outfield gloves. The only thing he won't need is a pitcher's glove and a catcher's glove. |
I want to say that seven of his last eight starts have been quality starts. Tonight, he was up and over the plate. |
I wanted to stop it before it was more than a creep. It's easy the last couple weeks of the season to let up and not play all out. |
I was catching the night he had his major league debut. Four knocks. |
I was talking with Luke about that, ... That's been Luke's biggest problem. It's been a 50-50 split with him. |
I was very happy with the way Gosling threw. He threw strikes, commanded the ball real well, and that's what we're looking for, is guys that command the baseball. He did a great job, changed speeds really well. |
I was very impressed with the way he received the baseball. He's a good catcher. He gets rid of the ball quick. The more I saw of him, the more I liked him. |
