It was a first-pitch fastball, and I was able to get around on it. |
My role is to give them confidence when they get on the mound. I want them to throw strikes and get ahead of the hitters. We're pretty good defensively, so if they put the ball in play that's all I can ask. |
We can be very good. We've got a good, young pitching staff and a great defense. We're swinging the bats very well, and at the right time of year. |
