He pitched great and threw strikes, ... He got ahead of hitters and did what he wanted to do tonight. |
He's been great and I think that's been a big boost for our bullpen. To put him in a bullpen that's already got some pretty good arms is huge. |
He's done well for us. In his first outing, against Seattle, he came in with the bases loaded and no outs, and shut them down. |
I had a chance to make the catch, but when I threw it I thought it was going to hit Lopez. But Adam made a nice catch, |
I was hurt, but that doesn't account for the first part of the season when I wasn't playing that good. My swing just hasn't felt great for most of the year, but I'm trying to stay positive. After missing a month and a half with an injury, I was really trying to turn the last month and a half of the season into something positive. |
I was just looking for something up early in the count and I got a little slider up in the zone, ... I was thinking of trying to drive it to the outfield and it got a tad in on me, but I got the job done. I was stretching six different times during the game, but you never know when an opportunity like that is going to come. |

If we're going out and scoring one or two runs a game, it is tough to win ballgames, |

Right now both teams have staffs that are pitching great, |
That was a great win for us. We can never let down, even though it's 2½. Oakland is a team that can get on a roll real quick. We got to keep it going. |
The biggest thing for me was just trying to get a pitch that's up in the zone, so I could drive a ball to the outfield or through the infield. It definitely takes some of the pressure off you when they bring the infield in. |
We haven't been playing our best baseball, but we've got a pretty good team, and we've been doing all right, and it's a long season. Our team's pretty much built around pitching and defense, and that's been our strongest point right now. We've got five good starters and a good bullpen. |
We haven't been playing our best baseball. Everyone here wants to turn it around, and we think we can. |
We've been through some tough losses, we've been flying all over the country the last few days and we haven't let that get us down. This (loss) is over with tonight. |
