He just didn't have the feel for pitching that he normally has. I think the red flag was up when he starts walking people and getting behind in a lot of counts. |
He just didn't locate his pitches. It didn't look like he could throw anything for a strike other than his fastball. |
He just didn't locate. It didn't look like he could throw anything for a strike other than a fastball, and he was up with a number of pitches. It was just a bad day. |
He just got a little stiff. I didn't get a chance to talk to him. |
He just hit a wall. |
He kept the ball off the fat of the bat really well. He lived up to his scouting report. But it comes down to being able to do what you want to do, and it looked like he was able to do that. |
He knows his job. We are very confident behind him. He has found his rhythm. |
He knows how to pitch. It's good to have him and the Big Unit to carry us, especially when we have a couple of young guys following. |
He likes to hit the fastball. I don't think that's any secret. |
He looked like he was a little excited early. But he didn't back off. You looked up at that velocity and it stayed right there [at] 96, 97. He's special. No question. |
He looks like a kid who is going to be in the major leagues. He has a legitimate swing, and he has no fear. |
He looks like he has pretty good presence for a young guy out there. He's given the Red Sox trouble on a couple of different occasions. ... He has natural stuff. You know it's just a matter of time before he gets smoother and gets consistent with it. |
He made a [heck] of a play on that ball, |
He made a couple of bad pitches in the inning they scored the run, but aside from that, he was tough. He battled and held it there, gave us a chance to get back in it. |
He may be making some adjustments because of the back. |
