You take a look at the standings and all these teams are the same. Everyone is kind of knotted with the same record. |
You throw one of those to Manny, it's like you're at a driving range and all the balls are hit on that green. They're going to land over there in the same spot. I think there's a parking garage over there. |
You're going to give up runs when you pitch in this ballpark. That's all there is to it. I thought it was a good performance by [Zito]. |
You're still breathing if you take three of four [from the Angels], but you need big help then. Tomorrow, we're going to shoot all our bullets to win that game. Then you worry about the next day. |
You've got to pitch under game conditions and get your pitch count up. Throwing out of the bullpen is not going to do it. |
