Felix, if he had a mouth full of nickels, he wouldn't give you change for a quarter. He doesn't speak much. |
Felix, the first couple of innings, was struggling with his mechanics. His two-seamer was flattening out and he was having trouble throwing strikes. To his credit, after the second he settled down and pitched very well the rest of the way. Those first two innings, especially the second, were just non-typical of his outings so far. |
Five runs with two outs is tough to take. It sure took the air out of our balloon. |
For a couple of weeks, it was like losing the seventh game of the World Series. That's eased off. The losses still bother me, but I also realize that all we can do is do our jobs the best we can. |
For a lot of players, Adrian's numbers would be good. But it's been a tough year for him. |
For lack of a better term, he [Rivera] has to bury the runner. That's something he'll work on, something that will be addressed. |
For now, we're going to go with Joe Borchard and see what we've got. We've got time, so we'll see how it plays itself out. |
For whatever reason, he started nibbling. He started falling behind, walking people and they started hitting him. Plain and simple. |
Franklin made one bad pitch. Other than that he was golden. |
Frankly, I hope we don't have to see him out there a lot. It's not that he can't play there. But if he is playing a lot in the outfield, that means one of our regulars is hurt. |
From what I understand from the medical staff, the later we go, the better chance Dan will have of getting in a game. As long as he's healthy, it's a great idea. It's a great way for him to go out. |
From where he started when we first started this project to where he is now is really amazing. |
Games like tonight happen, and thank goodness this is the first time it's happened to us all year. I'm sure it's going to happen again, but hopefully it's a long time coming. |
Getting outscored 33-1 in Detroit, that's like a perfect storm. It's one of those things that don't happen very often. Thank goodness or we'd all probably commit suicide. |
Gil said he just didn't have anything with his arm. There was no pain, he said he had nothing at all. It started in the first, but he didn't tell us until after the second. |
